11This is the port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH[0] to Linux and other
12Unices.
13
14OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's sample
15implementation with all patent-encumbered algorithms removed (to
16external libraries), all known security bugs fixed, new features
17reintroduced and many other clean-ups.  OpenSSH has been created by
18Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt,
19and Dug Song. It has a homepage at https://www.openssh.com/
20
21This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM
22support, EGD[1]/PRNGD[2] support and replacements for OpenBSD library
23functions that are (regrettably) absent from other unices. This port
24has been best tested on AIX, Cygwin, HP-UX, Linux, MacOS/X,
25NetBSD, OpenBSD, OpenServer, Solaris, Unicos, and UnixWare.
26
27This version actively tracks changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository.
28
29The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of
30commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for
31all logins, not just when using password authentication.
32
33OpenSSH depends on Zlib[3], OpenSSL[4] and optionally PAM[5].
34
35There is now several mailing lists for this port of OpenSSH. Please
36refer to https://www.openssh.com/list.html for details on how to join.
37
38Please send bug reports and patches to the mailing list
39openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org. The list is open to posting by unsubscribed
40users.  Code contribution are welcomed, but please follow the OpenBSD
41style guidelines[6].
42
43Please refer to the INSTALL document for information on how to install
44OpenSSH on your system.

50This version of OpenSSH is based upon code retrieved from the OpenBSD
51CVS repository which in turn was based on the last free sample
52implementation released by Tatu Ylonen.
