This is the Unix port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH.
|
|
|
|
OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's SSH with
|
|
all patent-encumbered algorithms removed, all known security bugs
|
|
fixed, new features reintroduced and many other clean-ups.
|
|
|
|
This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM
|
|
support (for Linux and Solaris), EGD[1] support, and replacements for
|
|
OpenBSD library functions that are (regrettably) absent from most
|
|
other unices. The only well tested platform currently is Linux, though
|
|
some Solaris support is beginning to filter in. This version actively
|
|
tracks changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository.
|
|
|
|
The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of
|
|
commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for
|
|
all logins, not just when using password authentication. This code is
|
|
very new and needs further testing.
|
|
|
|
All new code is released under a XFree style license, which is very
|
|
liberal. Please refer to the source files for details. The code in
|
|
strlcpy.c and mktemp.c is from the OpenBSD project and has its own
|
|
license (again, see source file for details).
|
|
|
|
OpenSSH depends on Zlib[2], OpenSSL[3] and optionally PAM[4]. To build
|
|
the GNOME[5] passphrase requestor (--with-gnome-askpass), you will
|
|
need the GNOME libraries installed. If you are building OpenSSH on a
|
|
Unix which lacks a kernel random number pool (/dev/random), you will
|
|
need to install EGD[1].
|
|
|
|
To build OpenSSH, use the configure script provided. For example:
|
|
|
|
./configure --prefix=/opt/openssh
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
Will install the OpenSSH binaries in /opt/openssh/bin, the
|
|
configuration files in /opt/openssh/etc, and so forth.

This version of SSH is based upon code retrieved from the OpenBSD CVS
|
|
repository on 1999-11-09 which in turn was based on the last free
|
|
version of SSH released by Tatu Ylonen.
