Secure Shell is a set of programs for logging into a remote machine and for
executing commands on a remote machine.  It is intended to replace rlogin,
rsh, rcp, etc. and provide secure encrypted communications between two
untrusted hosts over an insecure network.  X11 connections and arbitrary
TCP/IP ports can also be forwarded over the secure channel.

OpenSSH is a version of Secure Shell based upon a much less encumbered
SSH version 1.2.12, which has a BSD-style license.  Maintained by the
OpenBSD project, this is the most free and secure SSH implementation
in the world.  OpenSSH supports SSH protocol version 1.5 and has all
known bugs from SSH fixed, and even some unknown ones :)

Say hello to OpenSSH! It's more secure, has a better license, and is actively maintained by members of the OpenBSD project. 1999-11-08 01:20:54 -05:00			`Secure Shell is a set of programs for logging into a remote machine and for`

Lots of OpenSSH changes, let's see if I remember them all. 1. Makefile cleanups, pkg/DESCR original comment (obrien) 2. sshd.sh and automatic host key generation when installed (Christian Weisgerber <naddy@unix-ag.uni-kl.de>) 3. Completely redone downloading procedure: * CVS is used to download the source (${CVS_CMD} defaults to cvs -z3) * MD5 checksums and a specific ${CVS_DATE} are used to get a specific source tree and verify it; ${CVS_DATE} and checksums can easily be rolled forward once tested. * Source is checked out to distfiles like other ports, and is only updated when ${CVS_DATE} changes. Rebuilding the port doesn't require another cvs co. Enjoy! Reviewed mostly by: obrien 1999-11-13 00:55:42 -05:00			`OpenSSH is a version of Secure Shell based upon a much less encumbered`

Make the second CVS site work for real. Move sshd.sh to files and ${INSTALL_SCRIPT}/${PERL} -pi it. Clean up the Makefile's style a bit (MNF anyone? :) Add WWW: to pkg/DESCR. Change MASTER_SITES back to CVS_SITES to avoid problems with MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE.
