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/PRNGD 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. + +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 https://bugzilla.mindrot.org or +the mailing list openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org. To mitigate spam, the +list only allows posting from subscribed addresses. Code contribution +are welcomed, but please follow the OpenBSD style guidelines[1]. + +Please refer to the INSTALL document for information on dependencies and +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] https://man.openbsd.org/style.9 + |
