== Description ==

A secure (encrypted) remote shell compatible with ssh 2.0.  lsh is a client that can connect to the corresponding lshd server.  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.
