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.

OpenSSH 1.2.2 supports SSH protocols 1.3 and 1.5 enabling it to
interoperate with current versions of commercial Unix SSH1 and all
known Windows clients.

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/

In addition to it being completely free software, OpenSSH offers
several enhancements over commercial SSH1, including IPv6 support,
removal of insecure ciphers and a full security and code review by the
OpenBSD team.

This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM
support (better than commercial SSH), EGD[1] support for system that
lack /dev/random and replacements for OpenBSD library functions that
are (regrettably) absent from other unices.

There are 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.
