OpenSSH has been created by +Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt, +and Dug Song. It has a homepage at https://www.openssh.com/ + +This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM +support, EGD[1]/PRNGD[2] support and replacements for OpenBSD library +functions that are (regrettably) absent from other unices. This port +has been best tested on AIX, Cygwin, HP-UX, Linux, MacOS/X, +FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OpenServer, Solaris and UnixWare. + +This version actively tracks changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository. + +The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of +commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for +all logins, not just when using password authentication. + +OpenSSH depends on Zlib[3], OpenSSL[4], and optionally PAM[5] and +libedit[6] + +There is now several mailing lists for this port of OpenSSH. Please +refer to https://www.openssh.com/list.html for details on how to join. + +Please send bug reports and patches to the mailing list +openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org. The list is open to posting by unsubscribed +users. Code contribution are welcomed, but please follow the OpenBSD +style guidelines[7]. + +Please refer to the INSTALL document for information on how to install +OpenSSH on your system. + +Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org> + +Miscellania - + +This version of OpenSSH is based upon code retrieved from the OpenBSD +CVS repository which in turn was based on the last free sample +implementation released by Tatu Ylonen. + +References - + +[0] https://www.openssh.com/ +[1] http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/ +[2] http://prngd.sourceforge.net/ +[3] https://www.zlib.net/ +[4] https://www.openssl.org/ +[5] https://www.openpam.org + https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/ + (PAM also is standard on Solaris and HP-UX 11) +[6] https://thrysoee.dk/editline/ (portable version) +[7] https://man.openbsd.org/style.9 |
