RTF README: /usr/doc/ssh/README 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. It has a homepage at http://www.openssh.com/ -- Karsten M. Self (kmself@ix.netcom.com) What part of "Gestalt" don't you understand?
