README - third_party/openssh-portable - Git at Google

 This is the port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH to Linux and other
 Unices.

 OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's SSH with
 all patent-encumbered algorithms removed (to external libraries), all
 known security bugs fixed, new features reintroduced and many other
 clean-ups. More information about SSH itself can be found in the file
 README.Ylonen. OpenSSH has been created by Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck,
 Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt, and Dug Song. It has a
 homepage at http://www.openssh.com/

 This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM
 support (for Linux and Solaris), EGD[1] support, SOCKS support (using
 the Dante [6] libraries and replacements for OpenBSD library functions
 that are (regrettably) absent from other unices. This port has been
 best tested on Linux, Solaris, HPUX, NetBSD and Irix. Support for AIX,
 SCO, NeXT and other Unices is underway. This version actively tracks
 changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository.

 The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of
 commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for
 all logins, not just when using password authentication.

 All new code is released under a XFree style license, which is very
 liberal. Please refer to the source files for details. The code in
 bsd-*.[ch] is from the OpenBSD project and has its own license (again,
 see the source files for details).

 OpenSSH depends on Zlib[2], OpenSSL[3] and optionally PAM[4] and
 Dante[6]. To build the GNOME[5] pass-phrase requester
 (--with-gnome-askpass), you will need the GNOME libraries installed.
 If you are building OpenSSH on a Unix which lacks a kernel random
 number pool (/dev/random), you will need to install EGD[1].

 There is now several mailing lists for this port of OpenSSH. Please
 refer to http://violet.ibs.com.au/openssh/list.html for details on how
 to join.

 Please send bug reports and patches to the mailing list
 openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org. The list is currently open to posting by
 unsubscribed users.

 Please refer to the INSTALL document for information on how to install
 OpenSSH on your system. The UPGRADING document details differences
 between this port of OpenSSH and F-Secure SSH 1.x.
