OpenSSH has been created by 18Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt, 19and Dug Song. It has a homepage at http://www.openssh.com/ 20 21This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM 22support, EGD[1]/PRNGD[2] support and replacements for OpenBSD library 23functions that are (regrettably) absent from other unices. This port 24has been best tested on AIX, Cygwin, HP-UX, Linux, MacOS/X, 25NetBSD, OpenBSD, OpenServer, Solaris, Unicos, and UnixWare. 26 27This version actively tracks changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository. 28 29The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of 30commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for 31all logins, not just when using password authentication. 32 33OpenSSH depends on Zlib[3], OpenSSL[4] and optionally PAM[5]. 34 35There is now several mailing lists for this port of OpenSSH. Please 36refer to http://www.openssh.com/list.html for details on how to join. 37 38Please send bug reports and patches to the mailing list 39openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org. The list is open to posting by 40unsubscribed users.Code contribution are welcomed, but please follow the 41OpenBSD style guidelines[6]. 42 43Please refer to the INSTALL document for information on how to install 44OpenSSH on your system. There are a number of differences between this 45port of OpenSSH and F-Secure SSH 1.x, please refer to the OpenSSH FAQ[7] 46for details and general tips. 47 48Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org> 49 50Miscellania - 51 52This version of OpenSSH is based upon code retrieved from the OpenBSD 53CVS repository which in turn was based on the last free sample 54implementation released by Tatu Ylonen. 55 56References - 57 58[0] http://www.openssh.com/faq.html 59[1] http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/ 60[2] http://www.aet.tu-cottbus.de/personen/jaenicke/postfix_tls/prngd.html 61[3] http://www.gzip.org/zlib/ 62[4] http://www.openssl.org/ 63[5] http://www.openpam.org 64 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/ 65 (PAM also is standard on Solaris 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 1.87 2014/08/10 01:35:06 djm Exp $ 70
