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