You may not be using OpenBSD, but the same organization is behind OpenSSH. Imagine being without ssh, then go donate. :)

Correction: OpenSSH, not SSH at all.

  Name another free ssh implementation. On every* UNIX and UNIX-like OS ssh is OpenSSH. OpenSSH is why we don't telnet everywhere anymore. *- Honestly, I don't know of anything that ships with something that is not OpenSSH.

    Dropbear, seen for example in OpenWRT. Not that it's nearly as feature full as OpenSSH, nor as architected around security (process separation and all). But it's nice when you need a small sshd.

      Yup, Dropbear is great for use on embedded devices. I only heard about Dropbear because once upon a time I needed an SSHd for an old Unix (believe it was Tru64). Unfortunately, no PRNG shipped by default, so I ended up symlinking /dev/zero to /dev/random. Thankfully this was not a production server, but an internal one laying around my house.

I've also installed lsh-server out of curiosity once, but that was just to take a look, not for production use. However, I believe, security- and featurewise, OpenSSH is probably a best option (unless device's really low on resources).

    Hmmm, I think SmartOS uses a different SSH. Might be misremembering though.

    There is some full implementation of SSH in Java that I found the one time I looked for. There's also Putty, but that's just the client.

  What other SSH's are there? I believe if you use any Linux distro, or any BSD, you are using OpenSSH. The only Unix systems I know of that don't use OpenSSH are embedded devices. (note: I donated based on being OpenSSH user; I am not an OpenBSD user but I'm glad it exists)

It'd be nice if a company, or companies that use SSH in their products would pool together 20k a year to pay for this.
