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.
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?
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).
All new code is released under a XFree style license, which is very liberal.

OpenSSH depends on Zlib, OpenSSL and PAM. Use the Makefile.GNU to build it.
