OpenSSH Turns Five Years Old

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the edoc-eht-kaerb dept.

heydrick writes "The OpenSSH project is five years old. Project member Damien Miller writes, 'Five years ago, in late September 1999, the OpenSSH project was started. It began with an audit, cleanup and update of the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's legacy ssh-1.2.12 code. The project quickly gathered pace, attracting a portability effort and, in early 2000, an independent implementation of version 2 of the SSH protocol. Since then, OpenSSH has led in the implementation of proactive security techniques such as privilege separation & auto-reexecution.' Yaa for OpenSSH."

    Editors? I always thought it was just a computer that selected submissions randomly, and then inserted a few spelling errors.

    Seriously, I can understand mispelling complicated words, but how do you not know how to spell yay?

    So you consider "misspelling" a complicated word then I guess?

    Maybe we're all posting on a website, but it's really a computer. Huh?

    A website that really exists only as a computer process. Wow. That's deep.
