1This is a Linux port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH.
2
3OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's SSH with
4all patent-encumbered algorithms removed, all known security bugs
5fixed, new features reintroduced and many other clean-ups.
6
7This Linux port basically consists of a few fixes to deal with the way
8that OpenSSL is usually installed on Linux systems, a few replacements
9for OpenBSD library functions and the introduction of partial PAM
10support.
11
12The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of
13commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for
14all logins, not just when using password authentication. This code is
15very new and needs further testing. I have also added basic libpwdb
16support (detected by autoconf).
17
18All new code is released under a XFree style license, which is very
19liberal. This code is released with no warranties of any kind,
20neither I nor my employer (Internet Business Solutions) will take any
21responsibility for any loss, damage or liability arising from the use
22or abuse of this software.
23
24OpenSSH depends on Zlib, OpenSSL and PAM and optionally libpwdb. It now
25uses autoconf to build thanks to Dan Brosemer <odin@linuxfreak.com>

41This version of SSH is based upon code retrieved from the OpenBSD CVS
42repository on 1999-10-28 patched by Damien Miller <djm@ibs.com.au>,
43which in turn was based on the last free version of SSH released by
44Tatu Ylonen.
