1See: 2http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-3.8 for the release notes. 3 4- A Japanese translation of this document and of the OpenSSH FAQ is 5- available at http://www.unixuser.org/~haruyama/security/openssh/index.html 6- Thanks to HARUYAMA Seigo <haruyama@unixuser.org> 7 8This is the port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH[0] to Linux and other 9Unices. 10 11OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's sample 12implementation with all patent-encumbered algorithms removed (to 13external libraries), all known security bugs fixed, new features 14reintroduced and many other clean-ups. OpenSSH has been created by 15Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt, 16and Dug Song. It has a homepage at http://www.openssh.com/ 17 18This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM 19support (for Linux and Solaris), EGD[1]/PRNGD[2] support and replacements 20for OpenBSD library functions that are (regrettably) absent from other 21unices. This port has been best tested on Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, NetBSD, 22Irix and AIX. Support for SCO, NeXT and other Unices is underway. 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 29OpenSSH depends on Zlib[3], OpenSSL[4] and optionally PAM[5]. 30 31There is now several mailing lists for this port of OpenSSH. Please 32refer to http://www.openssh.com/list.html for details on how to join. 33 34Please send bug reports and patches to the mailing list 35openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org. The list is open to posting by 36unsubscribed users. 37 38If you are a citizen of an USA-embargoed country to which export of 39cryptographic products is restricted, then please refrain from sending 40crypto-related code or patches to the list. We cannot accept them. 41Other code contribution are accepted, but please follow the OpenBSD 42style guidelines[6]. 43 44Please refer to the INSTALL document for information on how to install 45OpenSSH on your system. There are a number of differences between this 46port of OpenSSH and F-Secure SSH 1.x, please refer to the OpenSSH FAQ[7] 47for details and general tips. 48 49Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org> 50 51Miscellania - 52 53This version of OpenSSH is based upon code retrieved from the OpenBSD 54CVS repository which in turn was based on the last free sample 55implementation released by Tatu Ylonen. 56 57References - 58 59[0] http://www.openssh.com/faq.html 60[1] http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/ 61[2] http://www.aet.tu-cottbus.de/personen/jaenicke/postfix_tls/prngd.html 62[3] http://www.gzip.org/zlib/ 63[4] http://www.openssl.org/ 64[5] http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/ (PAM is standard on Solaris 65 and HP-UX 11) 66[6] http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=style&sektion=9 67[7] http://www.openssh.com/faq.html 68 69$Id: README,v 1.53 2004/02/24 05:13:24 dtucker Exp $ 70
