1383d2307dSDag-Erling Smørgravexternal libraries), all known security bugs fixed, new features
1483d2307dSDag-Erling Smørgravreintroduced and many other clean-ups.  OpenSSH has been created by

1883d2307dSDag-Erling SmørgravThis port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM
1919261079SEd Mastesupport, EGD/PRNGD support and replacements for OpenBSD library
20d74d50a8SDag-Erling Smørgravfunctions that are (regrettably) absent from other unices. This port
21d74d50a8SDag-Erling Smørgravhas been best tested on AIX, Cygwin, HP-UX, Linux, MacOS/X,
222f513db7SEd MasteFreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OpenServer, Solaris and UnixWare.
23d74d50a8SDag-Erling Smørgrav

2683d2307dSDag-Erling SmørgravThe PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of
2783d2307dSDag-Erling Smørgravcommercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for
2883d2307dSDag-Erling Smørgravall logins, not just when using password authentication.
