OpenSSH has been created by 14Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt, 15and Dug Song. It has a homepage at https://www.openssh.com/ 16 17This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM 18support, EGD/PRNGD support and replacements for OpenBSD library 19functions that are (regrettably) absent from other unices. This port 20has been best tested on AIX, Cygwin, HP-UX, Linux, MacOS/X, 21FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OpenServer, Solaris and UnixWare. 22 23This version actively tracks changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository. 24 25The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of 26commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for 27all logins, not just when using password authentication. 28 29There is now several mailing lists for this port of OpenSSH. Please 30refer to https://www.openssh.com/list.html for details on how to join. 31 32Please send bug reports and patches to https://bugzilla.mindrot.org or 33the mailing list openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org.
