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
|
1999-10-30 09:39:56 +08:00
|
|
|
for OpenBSD library functions and the introduction of PAM support. This
|
|
|
|
|
version tracks changes made to the OpenBSD CVS version.

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. This code is
|
|
|
|
|
very new and needs further testing. I have also added basic libpwdb
|
|
|
|
|
support (detected by autoconf).

OpenSSH depends on Zlib[1], OpenSSL[2] and optionally PAM[3].

This version of SSH is based upon code retrieved from the OpenBSD CVS
|
1999-10-30 09:39:56 +08:00
|
|
|
repository on 1999-10-30 patched by Damien Miller <djm@ibs.com.au>,
|
1999-10-30 09:30:35 +08:00
|
|
|
which in turn was based on the last free version of SSH released by
|
|
|
|
|
Tatu Ylonen.
