ssh.1.2.26.1.README
July 20, 1998

These archives contains an Installer.app package for SSH (Secure
Shell), version 1.2.26 (port 1) 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.

INSTALLATION

Unpack the tar.gz archive, and use Installer.app (as root) 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.

July 20, 1998 	(1.2.26 NEXTSTEP port 1)
- update to 1.2.26

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?
