+Overview:
+
+This directory contains files to build an AIX native (installp or SMIT
+installable) openssh package.
+
+
+Directions:
+
+(optional) create config.local in your build dir
+./configure [options]
+contrib/aix/buildbff.sh
+
+The file config.local or the environment is read to set the following options
+(default first):
+PERMIT_ROOT_LOGIN=[no|yes]
+X11_FORWARDING=[no|yes]
+AIX_SRC=[no|yes]
+
+Acknowledgements:
+
+The contents of this directory are based on Ben Lindstrom's Solaris
+buildpkg.sh. Ben also supplied inventory.sh.
+
+Jim Abbey's (GPL'ed) lppbuild-2.1 was used to learn how to build .bff's
+and for comparison with the output from this script, however no code
+from lppbuild is included and it is not required for operation.
+
+SRC support based on examples provided by Sandor Sklar and Maarten Kreuger.
+PrivSep account handling fixes contributed by W. Earl Allen.
+
+
+Other notes:
+
+The script treats all packages as USR packages (not ROOT+USR when
+appropriate). It seems to work, though......
+
+If there are any patches to this that have not yet been integrated they
+may be found at http://www.dtucker.net/openssh/.
+
+
+Disclaimer:
+
+It is hoped that it is useful but there is no warranty. If it breaks
+you get to keep both pieces.
