OpenSSH has been created by 14Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt, 15and Dug Song. It has a homepage at https://www.openssh.com/ 16 17This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM 18support, EGD[1]/PRNGD[2] support and replacements for OpenBSD library 19functions that are (regrettably) absent from other unices. This port 20has been best tested on AIX, Cygwin, HP-UX, Linux, MacOS/X, 21FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OpenServer, Solaris and UnixWare. 22 23This version actively tracks changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository. 24 25The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of 26commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for 27all logins, not just when using password authentication. 28 29OpenSSH depends on Zlib[3], OpenSSL[4], and optionally PAM[5] and 30libedit[6] 31 32There is now several mailing lists for this port of OpenSSH. Please 33refer to https://www.openssh.com/list.html for details on how to join. 34 35Please send bug reports and patches to the mailing list 36openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org. The list is open to posting by unsubscribed 37users. Code contribution are welcomed, but please follow the OpenBSD 38style guidelines[7]. 39 40Please refer to the INSTALL document for information on how to install 41OpenSSH on your system. 42 43Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org> 44 45Miscellania - 46 47This version of OpenSSH is based upon code retrieved from the OpenBSD 48CVS repository which in turn was based on the last free sample 49implementation released by Tatu Ylonen. 50 51References - 52 53[0] https://www.openssh.com/ 54[1] http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/ 55[2] http://prngd.sourceforge.net/ 56[3] https://www.zlib.net/ 57[4] https://www.openssl.org/ 58[5] https://www.openpam.org 59 https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/ 60 (PAM also is standard on Solaris and HP-UX 11) 61[6] https://thrysoee.dk/editline/ (portable version) 62[7] https://man.openbsd.org/style.9 63
