(Open)SSH codebase

[Peter King]

To answer a question that was raised at the TLUG meeting... the history 
of OpenSSH development is given here:

     http://www.openssh.com/history.html

The derivation from an early version of Tatu Ylonnen's SSH, and work on
an fork from a rediscovery of that early version, are properly credited.
The implication of their first paragraph is clearly that there is still
some of Ylonnen's original code left in the current OpenSSH -- pretty
amazing, considering the rigour of OpenBSD code audits and the lengths 
to which the development team go to ensure security.

Whether this is "enough" credit to the early coders is, of course, quite
another matter altogether.
