5This is the port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH[0] to Linux and other
6Unices.
7
8OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's sample
9implementation with all patent-encumbered algorithms removed (to
10external libraries), all known security bugs fixed, new features
11reintroduced and many other clean-ups.  OpenSSH has been created by
12Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt,
13and Dug Song. It has a homepage at http://www.openssh.com/
14
15This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM
16support (for Linux and Solaris), EGD[1]/PRNGD[2] support and replacements
17for OpenBSD library functions that are (regrettably) absent from other
18unices. This port has been best tested on Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, NetBSD
19and Irix. Support for AIX, SCO, NeXT and other Unices is underway.
20This version actively tracks changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository.
21
22The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of
23commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for
24all logins, not just when using password authentication.
25
26OpenSSH depends on Zlib[3], OpenSSL[4] and optionally PAM[5].
27
28There is now several mailing lists for this port of OpenSSH. Please
29refer to http://www.openssh.com/list.html for details on how to join.
30
31Please send bug reports and patches to the mailing list
32openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org. The list is open to posting by
33unsubscribed users.
34
35If you are a citizen of an USA-embargoed country to which export of
36cryptographic products is restricted, then please refrain from sending
37crypto-related code or patches to the list. We cannot accept them.
38Other code contribution are accepted, but please follow the OpenBSD
39style guidelines[6].
40
41Please refer to the INSTALL document for information on how to install
42OpenSSH on your system. There are a number of differences between this
43port of OpenSSH and F-Secure SSH 1.x, please refer to the OpenSSH FAQ[7]
44for details and general tips.

50This version of OpenSSH is based upon code retrieved from the OpenBSD
51CVS repository which in turn was based on the last free sample
52implementation released by Tatu Ylonen.
