This is the port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH to Linux and other
|
|
Unices.
|
|
|
|
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. More
|
|
information about SSH itself can be found in the file README.Ylonen.
|
|
OpenSSH has been created by Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl,
|
|
Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt, and Dug Song. It has a homepage at
|
|
http://www.openssh.com/
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
other unices. This port has been best tested on Linux, Solaris and
|
|
HPUX, though support for AIX and Irix is underway. 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.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
bsd-*.[ch] is from the OpenBSD project and has its own license (again,
|
|
see the source files for details).
|
|
|
|
OpenSSH depends on Zlib[2], OpenSSL[3] and optionally PAM[4]. To build
|
|
the GNOME[5] pass-phrase requester (--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].
|
|
|
|
There is now a mailing list for this port of OpenSSH. To
|
|
subscribe, send a message consisting of the word 'SUBSCRIBE' to
|
|
openssh-unix-dev-request@mindrot.org. This mailing list is intended
|
|
for developers who wish to improve on this port or extend it to other
|
|
Unices.
|
|
|
|
Please send bug reports to the mailing list, or to myself
|
|
(djm@ibs.com.au).
|
|
|
|
Please refer to the INSTALL document for information on how to install
|
|
OpenSSH on your system.
|
|
|
|
This patch is developed primarily on Linux, but I am including patches
|
|
which improve compatability with other unices. The beginnings of
|
|
Solaris support have already been included.

Miscellania -
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Code in bsd-misc.[ch] and gnome-ssh-askpass.c is Copyright 1999
|
|
Internet Business Solutions and is released under a X11-style
|
|
license (see source files for details).
|
|
|
|
(A)RC4 code in rc4.[ch] is Copyright 1999 Damien Miller. It too is
|
|
under a X11-style license (see source file for details).
