Party like it's 1999!

  I know it’s a joke, but OpenSSH is not that old: its initial release was in December, 1999.

    Looks like it was forked from some predecessors ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell#OSSH https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell#OSSH) but doesn't go into the history much more than that. I remember telnet, where there any encrypted predecessors before the ssh family?

      > where there any encrypted predecessors before the ssh family? None that were mainstream/widely used.

      OpenSSH was forked from the original SSH (version 1) code by Tatu Ylönen after it went closed source in the mid-1990's IIRC. https://www.openssh.com/history.html https://www.openssh.com/history.html

      Telnet over SSL.

      There was/is kerberized telnet/rsh/rlogin, with optional encryption.

    So, it’s literally that old …

    So in what way was the comment you were responding to wrong? It was literally released in 1999.
