 OpenSSH - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
OpenSSH was created by the OpenBSD team as an alternative to the original SSH software by Tatu Ylönen, which is now proprietary software.
OpenSSH (Open Secure Shell) is a set of computer programs providing encrypted communication sessions over a computer network using the SSH protocol.
Although source code is available for the original SSH, various restrictions are imposed on its use and distribution, making OpenSSH a more attractive project for many software developers.

 OpenSSH FAQ
OpenSSH has also added sftp(1) and sftp-server(8) which implement an easier solution for file-transfer.
The OpenSSH suite includes the ssh(1) program which replaces rlogin and telnet, and scp(1) which replaces rcp(1) and ftp(1).
They trust that their data is safe since nobody is supposed to know that there is sensitive information in the network, or because so much other data is transferred in the network.

 Secure Shell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shortly thereafter, OpenBSD developers branched Björn's code and did extensive work on it, creating OpenSSH which shipped with the 2.6 release of OpenBSD.
It can be installed standalone, without a Cygwin environment but Cygwin and OpenSSH can not coexist as separate installations on the same machine, unless OpenSSH is installed inside the Cygwin environment.

 CERT Advisory CA-2002-18 OpenSSH Vulnerabilities in Challenge Response Handling
OpenSSH is not included in any world-wide version of JUNOS, nor is it included in the Prisma G10 CMTS software release.
System administrators are encouraged to carefully review the implications of using the workaround in their environment, and use a more comprehensive solution if one is available.
OpenSSH version 3.4 will correct several other software defects with potential security implications not described in this advisory.

 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).
OpenSSH has been part of OpenBSD ever since and is now portable to most version of UNIX.
Since this version of OpenSSH supports both RSA and DSA keys, it makes sense to minimize the amount of clutter ssh adds to /etc.

 NSLU2-Linux - HowTo / UseOpenSSHForRemoteAccess
If you want to allow other users to use ssh to access the slug, you will need to create the users in the normal way using the Linksys web interface, update the /etc/passwd file to allocate them a shell and give them a path to their home directory.
I have a Windows 2000 machine which I want to be able to use from work (behind a number of firewalls) to access the slug on my home broadband network.

 Optimizing OpenSSH
The possibility of a remote hole in OpenSSH will always be there with code this complex, however the benefits of using it far outweigh the drawbacks versus similar remote login protocols.
One of the problems with OpenSSH, however, is it's excess complexity.
Because SSH became a "for-profit" program, OpenSSH has been rapidly gaining ground as a fully-functional replacement to the commercial SSH since it's conception.

OpenSSH is the first and, thus far, the only unencumbered open-source implementation of SSH1 and SSH2.
The immediate positive feedback they received for their troubles provided the momentum to add the SSH2 functionality, thus turning the project from one of source-code liberation to outright innovation.
In synopsis, OpenSSH's developers went back to the last unencumbered version of SSH1 and started from there.

SSH can do many more useful tasks, such as secure tunneling of almost any protocol: X11, POP, FTP; secure file copying, and port forwarding.

 openssh-gpg
Because this version invokes gpg directly and doesn't depend on any libraries to be able to use gpg, you can compile openssh with gpg support without having to install any special software first, other than this patch.
After you apply the patch, you will need to run autoconf of a version sufficiently close to the version used by the openssh developers.
For some, X.509 may also offer a convenient method to verify host keys.

Generally, you will need a source distribution of openssh, which is at this time is at version 3.5p1.
