  • SSH soon built in

    -What do most people do right after they install OpenBSD?

    -They install Secure Shell (SSH) from the ports tree or the packages on -the CD-ROM. Until now, that is.

    +What is the first thing most people do after installing OpenBSD? +They install Secure Shell (ssh) from the ports tree or the packages on +the FTP sites. Until now, that is.

    This is still very much a work in progress, but we found an innovative way -around the RSA patent. We are taking a free license release of SSH and -OpenBSD-ifying it.

    +around the RSA patent. We are taking a free license release of ssh and +OpenBSD-ifying it. We will get around the USA-based RSA patent by providing +an easy way to automatically download and install a RSA-enabled package +containing shared library versions of libcrypto and libss. These packages +are based on OpenSSL. People living outside the USA can freely use the +RSA patented code, while people inside the USA can freely use it for +non-commercial purposes. It appears as if companies inside the USA can +use the RSA libraries too, as long as RSA is not used in a profit generating +role.

    -We get around the US-based RSA patent by letting end users -selectively download the correct libssl file for their location (US resident -or not).

    +But this way almost everyone will get ssh built-in.
