Thanks, just donated, I use openssh every day so it just makes sense.

Wow. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I had no idea OpenSSH fell under the OpenBSD umbrella! It certainly makes very good sense for me to donate now!

Most FOSS projects with the name pattern OpenXYZ fall under the OpenBSD umbrella in one way or the other.

Doubtful, it's a really common pattern (opencv, opencollada,OpenOffice, opensolaris etc etc)

Note: OpenXYZ, not OpenSomethingSomething. Anyway, OpenBGPD, OpenOSPFD, OpenNTPD, OpenSMTPD, OpenSSH, OpenIKED. OK, so it's more like OpenABCD and I should probably have written "many" instead of "most". :)

  [scott_s@local ~] history | wc -l
     500
  [scott_s@local ~] history | grep ssh | wc -l
     191

Donated.

Grep has a -c flag :)

    $ history | grep -c ssh
        380

Donated.

Great point. OpenSSH is rock solid and it and underpins many, many other projects and businesses.

I don't think it's going too far to say that companies making heavy use of (i.e. profit from) OpenSSH are obligated to donate.

many do by employing the openssh maintainers to do that. it's the best way to contribute to openssh without contributing to theo.

The shell history really ought to have some sort of de-dupe feature. Too many lines of history get taken up by duplicate entries!

Use HISTCONTROL=erasedups in your .bashrc

http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#index-H...

try adding setopt HIST_SAVE_NO_DUPS to your .zshrc

you could also have a look at HIST_FIND_NO_DUPS and HIST_IGNORE_ALL_DUPS (more options at http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Options.html )

If you still use bash, now is a good time to upgrade to zsh

'Upgrade' and a sourceforge link don't usually go together :-/

I'm a zsh user but am surprised that you guys are still using sourceforge instead of github.

If you use bash, have a look at HISTIGNORE and HISTCONTROL.

Just donated to support the project as well.

Yes, did too. We need things like this to counter the evil clowns that try to take over our internet.

Donated, thanks for openssh the reminder.

Same here. Donated as well.

Maybe they should rename to OpenSSH Foundation then ...
