| This is a Linux port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH. |
| |
| OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's SSH with all |
| patent-encumbered algorithms removed, all known security bugs fixed, new |
| features reintroduced and many other clean-ups. |
| |
| This Linux port basically consists of a few fixes to deal with the way that |
| OpenSSL is usually installed on Linux systems, a few replacements for |
| OpenBSD library functions and the introduction of partial PAM support. |
| |
| The PAM support is less than optimal - it is only used when password |
| authentication is requested, so things like pam_limits will not apply if a |
| user authenticates with a RSA key. OTOH this is exactly the level of support |
| that the popular Linux SSH packages have. Perhaps a PAM hacker can rectify |
| this? |
| |
| All new code is released under a XFree style license, which is very liberal. |
| This code is released with no warranties of any kind, neither I nor my |
| employer (Internet Business Solutions) will take any responsibility for |
| any loss, damage or liability arising from the use or abuse of this software. |
| |
| OpenSSH depends on Zlib, OpenSSL and PAM. Use the Makefile.GNU to build it. |

| version of SSH released by Tatu Ylonen. |
