Re: Your posting of Oct.7 about a free SSH implementation

Yes, the rumour is true. OpenBSD will ship with a free implementation of
SSH based on 1.2.12.  We'll bring it up to present standards, of course
(security fixes and functionality).

We're calling it OpenSSH-1.0 but we didn't want to announce it until we
were sure it was solid for the OpenBSD 2.6 release. People who subscribe
to our CVS commit mailing list got a sneak preview.

You're on the mailing list for the official press release.
