It uses +the SECSH protocol, which means that it is compatible with SSH 2.0, except +for file transfer, which is not part of SECSH. + +SECSH uses compression and encryption algorithms that are unencumbered, and +lsh itself is GPL. + +lsh is not as feature-rich as OpenSSH, as it doesn't currently support +password-protected keyrings, the SSH 1.X protocols, TCP wrappers, etc. +On the other hand, it doesn't require OpenSSL, and doesn't take a lot of +work to avoid patented algorithms. + +Port author's notes on usage and common problems can be found at +WWW: http://gz.geekazoid.com/lsh/ |
