| | The 101 Uses of OpenSSH: Part I | Linux Journal |
 | | OpenSSH built on Groenvall's work (his version, called OSSH, is still available), adding support for later versions of the ssh protocol and modularizing its cryptographic mechanisms in such a way that it's possible to compile OpenSSH without any patented algorithms whatsoever (i.e., without support for ssh v.1 protocols, which depend on RSA). |
 | | The other innovation the OpenBSD team brought is the forking of the OpenSSH code-base into a ``clean'' version, which is kept as simple and platform-independent as possible, and a ``portable'' version, which can be compiled for a variety of versions of UNIX besides OpenBSD. |
 | | The OpenSSH web site (see Resources) is the place to go for the latest version of OpenSSH, both in source-code and RPM forms, and also for OpenSSL, which is required by OpenSSH. |
