7This is the port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH[0] to Linux and other
8Unices.
9
10OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's sample
11implementation with all patent-encumbered algorithms removed (to external
12libraries), all known security bugs fixed, new features reintroduced and
13many other clean-ups.  OpenSSH was created by Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck,
14Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt, and Dug Song, and has been
15developed and maintained by Andre Lucas, Ben Lindstom, Damien Miller,
16Darren Tucker and Tim Rice. It has a homepage at https://www.openssh.com/
17
18This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM
19support, EGD/PRNGD support and replacements for OpenBSD library
20functions that are (regrettably) absent from other unices. This port
21has been best tested on AIX, Cygwin, HP-UX, Linux, MacOS/X,
22FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OpenServer, Solaris and UnixWare.
23
24This version actively tracks changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository.
25
26There is now several mailing lists for this port of OpenSSH. Please
27refer to https://www.openssh.com/list.html for details on how to join.
28
29Please send bug reports and patches to https://bugzilla.mindrot.org or
30the mailing list openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org.  To mitigate spam, the
31list only allows posting from subscribed addresses.  Code contribution
32are welcomed, but please follow the OpenBSD style guidelines[1].
33
34Please refer to the INSTALL document for information on dependencies and
35how to install OpenSSH on your system.
