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

     48 Miscellania -
     49 
     50 This version of OpenSSH is based upon code retrieved from the OpenBSD
     51 CVS repository which in turn was based on the last free sample
     52 implementation released by Tatu Ylonen.
