1See http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-3.8.1 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 (for Linux and Solaris), EGD[1]/PRNGD[2] support and replacements 19for OpenBSD library functions that are (regrettably) absent from other 20unices. This port has been best tested on Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, NetBSD, 21Irix and AIX. Support for SCO, NeXT and other Unices is underway. 22This version actively tracks changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository. 23 24The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of 25commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for 26all logins, not just when using password authentication. 27 28OpenSSH depends on Zlib[3], OpenSSL[4] and optionally PAM[5]. 29 30There is now several mailing lists for this port of OpenSSH. Please 31refer to http://www.openssh.com/list.html for details on how to join. 32 33Please send bug reports and patches to the mailing list 34openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org. The list is open to posting by 35unsubscribed users. 36 37If you are a citizen of an USA-embargoed country to which export of 38cryptographic products is restricted, then please refrain from sending 39crypto-related code or patches to the list. We cannot accept them. 40Other code contribution are accepted, but please follow the OpenBSD 41style 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.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/ (PAM is standard on Solaris 64 and HP-UX 11) 65[6] http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=style&sektion=9 66[7] http://www.openssh.com/faq.html 67 68$Id: README,v 1.54 2004/04/18 10:32:56 djm Exp $ 69
