ssh.1.2.25.2.README June 29, 1998 These archives contains an Installer.app package for SSH (Secure Shell), version 1.2.25 (port 2) for NEXTSTEP 3.x (x >= 2). SSH allows one to log into another computer over a network, to execute commands in a remote machine, and to move files from one machine to another. It provides strong authentication and secure communications over insecure channels. It is intended as a replacement for rlogin, rsh, rcp, and rdist. This build of ssh uses RSAREF, which makes ssh legal to use within the US. See NOTES for more details. file: ssh.1.2.25.2.NIS.b.tar.gz sum: 52652 1083 md5sum: 2948652040bb55ea9198c90f491fd7cb INSTALLATION Unpack the tar.gz archive, and use Installer.app to install to /usr/local. This location is hardcoded, so if you want to install elsewhere, you'll need to recompile ssh yourself. The Installer package includes a post_install script to create a ssh host key and default host and server config files (all in /etc) if they don't already exist. You'll need to manually launch the sshd server (in /usr/local/sbin) or add it to /etc/rc.local if you wanted it started automatically upon every reboot of your machine. You'll need to make the ssh program setuid root (it is not set, by default), if you want to use it's rhost capabilities. NOTES If you are in the US, you are required to use this rsaref version of ssh (don't blame me, it's an RSA patent issue). Furthermore, ssh cannot be exported from the US. CHANGELOG. June 29, 1998 (1.2.25, NEXTSTEP port 2) - fixed post_install script typo. June 25, 1998 (1.2.25, NEXTSTEP port 1) - First attempt (no source) June 23, 1998 (1.2.25, OpenStep port 1) - Included source - update to 1.2.25 May 15, 1998 (1.2.23, port 1) - Update to 1.2.23 - Remove non-RSAref version, since I can't use or export it. What's the point? Mar 6, 1998 (1.2.22, port 2) - *sigh* one day later... - Include authfd patch - Fix config problem (about existence of /var directory). - Add setuid note. Mar 5, 1998 (1.2.22, port 1) - First attempt at OpenStep version. CREDITS Ssh was originally written by Tatu Ylnen at Helsinki University of Technology, Finland.
