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 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
|
1999-11-09 05:03:01 +01:00
|
|
|
very new and needs further testing.

|
|
|
All new code is released under a XFree style license, which is very
|
1999-11-09 05:03:01 +01:00
|
|
|
liberal. Please refer to the source files for details. The code in
|
|
|
|
|
strlcpy.c and mktemp.c is from the OpenBSD project and has its own
|
|
|
|
|
license (again, see source file for details).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OpenSSH depends on Zlib[1], OpenSSL[2] and optionally PAM[3]. To build
|
|
|
|
|
the GNOME[1] passphrase requestor (--with-gnome-askpass), you will
|
|
|
|
|
need the GNOME libraries installed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build OpenSSH, use the configure script provided. For example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./configure --prefix=/opt/openssh
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Will install the OpenSSH binaries in /opt/openssh/bin, the
|
|
|
|
|
configuration files in /opt/openssh/etc, and so forth.

This version of SSH is based upon code retrieved from the OpenBSD CVS
|
1999-10-30 03:39:56 +02:00
|
|
|
repository on 1999-10-30 patched by Damien Miller <djm@ibs.com.au>,
|
1999-10-30 03:30:35 +02:00
|
|
|
which in turn was based on the last free version of SSH released by
|
|
|
|
|
Tatu Ylonen.
