+OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's SSH with
+all patent-encumbered algorithms removed (to external libraries), all
+known security bugs fixed, new features reintroduced and many other
+clean-ups. More information about SSH itself can be found in the file
+README.Ylonen. OpenSSH has been created by Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck,
+Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt, and Dug Song.
+
+This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM
+support (for Linux and Solaris), EGD[1] support, SOCKS support (using
+the Dante [6] libraries and replacements for OpenBSD library functions
+that are (regrettably) absent from other unices. This port has been
+best tested on Linux, Solaris, HPUX, NetBSD and Irix. Support for AIX,
+SCO, NeXT and other Unices is underway. This version actively tracks
+changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository.
