1See http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-5.5 for the release notes. 2 3- A Japanese translation of this document and of the OpenSSH FAQ is 4- available at http://www.unixuser.org/~haruyama/security/openssh/index.html 5- Thanks to HARUYAMA Seigo <haruyama@unixuser.org> 6 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 12external libraries), all known security bugs fixed, new features 13reintroduced and many other clean-ups. OpenSSH has been created by 14Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt, 15and Dug Song. It has a homepage at http://www.openssh.com/ 16 17This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM 18support, EGD[1]/PRNGD[2] 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, 21NetBSD, OpenBSD, OpenServer, Solaris, Unicos, 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 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.Code contribution are welcomed, but please follow the 37OpenBSD style guidelines[6]. 38 39Please refer to the INSTALL document for information on how to install 40OpenSSH on your system. There are a number of differences between this 41port of OpenSSH and F-Secure SSH 1.x, please refer to the OpenSSH FAQ[7] 42for details and general tips. 43 44Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org> 45 46Miscellania - 47 48This version of OpenSSH is based upon code retrieved from the OpenBSD 49CVS repository which in turn was based on the last free sample 50implementation released by Tatu Ylonen. 51 52References - 53 54[0] http://www.openssh.com/faq.html 55[1] http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/ 56[2] http://www.aet.tu-cottbus.de/personen/jaenicke/postfix_tls/prngd.html 57[3] http://www.gzip.org/zlib/ 58[4] http://www.openssl.org/ 59[5] http://www.openpam.org 60 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/ 61 (PAM also is standard on Solaris and HP-UX 11) 62[6] http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=style&sektion=9 63[7] http://www.openssh.com/faq.html 64 65$Id: README,v 1.73 2010/03/21 19:11:55 djm Exp $ 66
