.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
.Nm sshd
|
|
|
|
reads configuration data from
|
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/sshd_config
|
|
|
|
(or the file specified with
|
|
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
|
|
on the command line).
|
|
|
|
The file contains keyword-argument pairs, one per line.
|
|
|
|
Lines starting with
|
|
|
|
.Ql #
|
|
|
|
and empty lines are interpreted as comments.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
The possible
|
|
|
|
keywords and their meanings are as follows (note that
|
|
|
|
keywords are case-insensitive and arguments are case-sensitive):
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
|
|
.It Cm AFSTokenPassing
|
|
|
|
Specifies whether an AFS token may be forwarded to the server.
|
|
|
|
Default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq no .
|
|
|
|
.It Cm AllowGroups
|
|
|
|
This keyword can be followed by a list of group name patterns, separated
|
|
|
|
by spaces.
|
|
|
|
If specified, login is allowed only for users whose primary
|
|
|
|
group or supplementary group list matches one of the patterns.
|
|
|
|
.Ql \&*
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.Ql ?
|
|
|
|
can be used as
|
|
|
|
wildcards in the patterns.
|
|
|
|
Only group names are valid; a numerical group ID is not recognized.
|
|
|
|
By default, login is allowed for all groups.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
.It Cm AllowTcpForwarding
|
|
|
|
Specifies whether TCP forwarding is permitted.
|
|
|
|
The default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq yes .
|
|
|
|
Note that disabling TCP forwarding does not improve security unless
|
|
|
|
users are also denied shell access, as they can always install their
|
|
|
|
own forwarders.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
.It Cm AllowUsers
|
|
|
|
This keyword can be followed by a list of user name patterns, separated
|
|
|
|
by spaces.
|
|
|
|
If specified, login is allowed only for users names that
|
|
|
|
match one of the patterns.
|
|
|
|
.Ql \&*
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.Ql ?
|
|
|
|
can be used as
|
|
|
|
wildcards in the patterns.
|
|
|
|
Only user names are valid; a numerical user ID is not recognized.
|
|
|
|
By default, login is allowed for all users.
|
|
|
|
If the pattern takes the form USER@HOST then USER and HOST
|
|
|
|
are separately checked, restricting logins to particular
|
|
|
|
users from particular hosts.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
.It Cm AuthorizedKeysFile
|
|
|
|
Specifies the file that contains the public keys that can be used
|
|
|
|
for user authentication.
|
|
|
|
.Cm AuthorizedKeysFile
|
|
|
|
may contain tokens of the form %T which are substituted during connection
|
|
|
|
set-up. The following tokens are defined: %% is replaced by a literal '%',
|
|
|
|
%h is replaced by the home directory of the user being authenticated and
|
|
|
|
%u is replaced by the username of that user.
|
|
|
|
After expansion,
|
|
|
|
.Cm AuthorizedKeysFile
|
|
|
|
is taken to be an absolute path or one relative to the user's home
|
|
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
The default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq .ssh/authorized_keys .
|
|
|
|
.It Cm Banner
|
|
|
|
In some jurisdictions, sending a warning message before authentication
|
|
|
|
may be relevant for getting legal protection.
|
|
|
|
The contents of the specified file are sent to the remote user before
|
|
|
|
authentication is allowed.
|
|
|
|
This option is only available for protocol version 2.
|
|
|
|
By default, no banner is displayed.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
.It Cm ChallengeResponseAuthentication
|
2002-11-05 17:24:01 +00:00
|
|
|
Specifies whether challenge-response authentication is allowed.
|
|
|
|
Specifically, in
|
|
|
|
.Fx ,
|
|
|
|
this controls the use of PAM (see
|
|
|
|
.Xr pam 3 )
|
|
|
|
for authentication.
|
2002-11-06 08:04:56 +00:00
|
|
|
Note that this affects the effectiveness of the
|
|
|
|
.Cm PasswordAuthentication
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.Cm PermitRootLogin
|
|
|
|
variables.
|
2002-06-23 14:01:54 +00:00
|
|
|
The default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq yes .
|
|
|
|
.It Cm Ciphers
|
|
|
|
Specifies the ciphers allowed for protocol version 2.
|
|
|
|
Multiple ciphers must be comma-separated.
|
|
|
|
The default is
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
|
|
``aes128-cbc,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,cast128-cbc,arcfour,
|
|
|
|
aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc''
|
|
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
.It Cm ClientAliveInterval
|
|
|
|
Sets a timeout interval in seconds after which if no data has been received
|
|
|
|
from the client,
|
|
|
|
.Nm sshd
|
|
|
|
will send a message through the encrypted
|
|
|
|
channel to request a response from the client.
|
|
|
|
The default
|
|
|
|
is 0, indicating that these messages will not be sent to the client.
|
|
|
|
This option applies to protocol version 2 only.
|
|
|
|
.It Cm ClientAliveCountMax
|
|
|
|
Sets the number of client alive messages (see above) which may be
|
|
|
|
sent without
|
|
|
|
.Nm sshd
|
|
|
|
receiving any messages back from the client. If this threshold is
|
|
|
|
reached while client alive messages are being sent,
|
|
|
|
.Nm sshd
|
|
|
|
will disconnect the client, terminating the session. It is important
|
|
|
|
to note that the use of client alive messages is very different from
|
|
|
|
.Cm KeepAlive
|
|
|
|
(below). The client alive messages are sent through the
|
|
|
|
encrypted channel and therefore will not be spoofable. The TCP keepalive
|
|
|
|
option enabled by
|
|
|
|
.Cm KeepAlive
|
|
|
|
is spoofable. The client alive mechanism is valuable when the client or
|
|
|
|
server depend on knowing when a connection has become inactive.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
The default value is 3. If
|
|
|
|
.Cm ClientAliveInterval
|
|
|
|
(above) is set to 15, and
|
|
|
|
.Cm ClientAliveCountMax
|
|
|
|
is left at the default, unresponsive ssh clients
|
|
|
|
will be disconnected after approximately 45 seconds.
|
|
|
|
.It Cm Compression
|
|
|
|
Specifies whether compression is allowed.
|
|
|
|
The argument must be
|
|
|
|
.Dq yes
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
.Dq no .
|
|
|
|
The default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq yes .
|
|
|
|
.It Cm DenyGroups
|
|
|
|
This keyword can be followed by a list of group name patterns, separated
|
|
|
|
by spaces.
|
|
|
|
Login is disallowed for users whose primary group or supplementary
|
|
|
|
group list matches one of the patterns.
|
|
|
|
.Ql \&*
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.Ql ?
|
|
|
|
can be used as
|
|
|
|
wildcards in the patterns.
|
|
|
|
Only group names are valid; a numerical group ID is not recognized.
|
|
|
|
By default, login is allowed for all groups.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
.It Cm DenyUsers
|
|
|
|
This keyword can be followed by a list of user name patterns, separated
|
|
|
|
by spaces.
|
|
|
|
Login is disallowed for user names that match one of the patterns.
|
|
|
|
.Ql \&*
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.Ql ?
|
|
|
|
can be used as wildcards in the patterns.
|
|
|
|
Only user names are valid; a numerical user ID is not recognized.
|
|
|
|
By default, login is allowed for all users.
|
|
|
|
If the pattern takes the form USER@HOST then USER and HOST
|
|
|
|
are separately checked, restricting logins to particular
|
|
|
|
users from particular hosts.
|
|
|
|
.It Cm GatewayPorts
|
|
|
|
Specifies whether remote hosts are allowed to connect to ports
|
|
|
|
forwarded for the client.
|
|
|
|
By default,
|
|
|
|
.Nm sshd
|
|
|
|
binds remote port forwardings to the loopback address. This
|
|
|
|
prevents other remote hosts from connecting to forwarded ports.
|
|
|
|
.Cm GatewayPorts
|
|
|
|
can be used to specify that
|
|
|
|
.Nm sshd
|
|
|
|
should bind remote port forwardings to the wildcard address,
|
|
|
|
thus allowing remote hosts to connect to forwarded ports.
|
|
|
|
The argument must be
|
|
|
|
.Dq yes
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
.Dq no .
|
|
|
|
The default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq no .
|
|
|
|
.It Cm HostbasedAuthentication
|
|
|
|
Specifies whether rhosts or /etc/hosts.equiv authentication together
|
|
|
|
with successful public key client host authentication is allowed
|
|
|
|
(hostbased authentication).
|
|
|
|
This option is similar to
|
|
|
|
.Cm RhostsRSAAuthentication
|
|
|
|
and applies to protocol version 2 only.
|
|
|
|
The default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq no .
|
|
|
|
.It Cm HostKey
|
|
|
|
Specifies a file containing a private host key
|
|
|
|
used by SSH.
|
|
|
|
The default is
|
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
|
|
|
|
for protocol version 1, and
|
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
|
|
|
|
for protocol version 2.
|
|
|
|
Note that
|
|
|
|
.Nm sshd
|
|
|
|
will refuse to use a file if it is group/world-accessible.
|
|
|
|
It is possible to have multiple host key files.
|
|
|
|
.Dq rsa1
|
|
|
|
keys are used for version 1 and
|
|
|
|
.Dq dsa
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
.Dq rsa
|
|
|
|
are used for version 2 of the SSH protocol.
|
|
|
|
.It Cm IgnoreRhosts
|
|
|
|
Specifies that
|
|
|
|
.Pa .rhosts
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.Pa .shosts
|
|
|
|
files will not be used in
|
|
|
|
.Cm RhostsAuthentication ,
|
|
|
|
.Cm RhostsRSAAuthentication
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
.Cm HostbasedAuthentication .
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/hosts.equiv
|
|
|
|
and
|
2002-06-29 10:53:57 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/shosts.equiv
|
2002-06-23 14:01:54 +00:00
|
|
|
are still used.
|
|
|
|
The default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq yes .
|
|
|
|
.It Cm IgnoreUserKnownHosts
|
|
|
|
Specifies whether
|
|
|
|
.Nm sshd
|
|
|
|
should ignore the user's
|
|
|
|
.Pa $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts
|
|
|
|
during
|
|
|
|
.Cm RhostsRSAAuthentication
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
.Cm HostbasedAuthentication .
|
|
|
|
The default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq no .
|
|
|
|
.It Cm KeepAlive
|
|
|
|
Specifies whether the system should send TCP keepalive messages to the
|
|
|
|
other side.
|
|
|
|
If they are sent, death of the connection or crash of one
|
|
|
|
of the machines will be properly noticed.
|
|
|
|
However, this means that
|
|
|
|
connections will die if the route is down temporarily, and some people
|
|
|
|
find it annoying.
|
|
|
|
On the other hand, if keepalives are not sent,
|
|
|
|
sessions may hang indefinitely on the server, leaving
|
|
|
|
.Dq ghost
|
|
|
|
users and consuming server resources.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
The default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq yes
|
|
|
|
(to send keepalives), and the server will notice
|
|
|
|
if the network goes down or the client host crashes.
|
|
|
|
This avoids infinitely hanging sessions.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
To disable keepalives, the value should be set to
|
|
|
|
.Dq no .
|
|
|
|
.It Cm KerberosAuthentication
|
|
|
|
Specifies whether Kerberos authentication is allowed.
|
|
|
|
This can be in the form of a Kerberos ticket, or if
|
|
|
|
.Cm PasswordAuthentication
|
|
|
|
is yes, the password provided by the user will be validated through
|
|
|
|
the Kerberos KDC.
|
|
|
|
To use this option, the server needs a
|
|
|
|
Kerberos servtab which allows the verification of the KDC's identity.
|
|
|
|
Default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq no .
|
|
|
|
.It Cm KerberosOrLocalPasswd
|
|
|
|
If set then if password authentication through Kerberos fails then
|
|
|
|
the password will be validated via any additional local mechanism
|
|
|
|
such as
|
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/passwd .
|
|
|
|
Default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq yes .
|
|
|
|
.It Cm KerberosTgtPassing
|
|
|
|
Specifies whether a Kerberos TGT may be forwarded to the server.
|
|
|
|
Default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq no ,
|
|
|
|
as this only works when the Kerberos KDC is actually an AFS kaserver.
|
|
|
|
.It Cm KerberosTicketCleanup
|
|
|
|
Specifies whether to automatically destroy the user's ticket cache
|
|
|
|
file on logout.
|
|
|
|
Default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq yes .
|
|
|
|
.It Cm KeyRegenerationInterval
|
|
|
|
In protocol version 1, the ephemeral server key is automatically regenerated
|
|
|
|
after this many seconds (if it has been used).
|
|
|
|
The purpose of regeneration is to prevent
|
|
|
|
decrypting captured sessions by later breaking into the machine and
|
|
|
|
stealing the keys.
|
|
|
|
The key is never stored anywhere.
|
|
|
|
If the value is 0, the key is never regenerated.
|
|
|
|
The default is 3600 (seconds).
|
|
|
|
.It Cm ListenAddress
|
|
|
|
Specifies the local addresses
|
|
|
|
.Nm sshd
|
|
|
|
should listen on.
|
|
|
|
The following forms may be used:
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
.Bl -item -offset indent -compact
|
|

|
|
If
|
|
|
|
.Ar port
|
|
|
|
is not specified,
|
|
|
|
.Nm sshd
|
|
|
|
will listen on the address and all prior
|
|
|
|
.Cm Port
|
|
|
|
options specified. The default is to listen on all local
|
|
|
|
addresses. Multiple
|
|
|
|
.Cm ListenAddress
|
|
|
|
options are permitted. Additionally, any
|
|
|
|
.Cm Port
|
|
|
|
options must precede this option for non port qualified addresses.
|
|
|
|
.It Cm LoginGraceTime
|
|
|
|
The server disconnects after this time if the user has not
|
|
|
|
successfully logged in.
|
|
|
|
If the value is 0, there is no time limit.
|
2002-10-29 10:16:02 +00:00

|
.Nm sshd .
|
|
|
|
The possible values are:
|
|
|
|
QUIET, FATAL, ERROR, INFO, VERBOSE, DEBUG, DEBUG1, DEBUG2 and DEBUG3.
|
|
|
|
The default is INFO. DEBUG and DEBUG1 are equivalent. DEBUG2
|
|
|
|
and DEBUG3 each specify higher levels of debugging output.
|
|
|
|
Logging with a DEBUG level violates the privacy of users
|
|
|
|
and is not recommended.
|
|
|
|
.It Cm MACs
|
|
|
|
Specifies the available MAC (message authentication code) algorithms.
|
|
|
|
The MAC algorithm is used in protocol version 2
|
|
|
|
for data integrity protection.
|
|
|
|
Multiple algorithms must be comma-separated.
|
|
|
|
The default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq hmac-md5,hmac-sha1,hmac-ripemd160,hmac-sha1-96,hmac-md5-96 .
|
|
|
|
.It Cm MaxStartups
|
|
|
|
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent unauthenticated connections to the
|
|
|
|
.Nm sshd
|
|
|
|
daemon.
|
|
|
|
Additional connections will be dropped until authentication succeeds or the
|
|
|
|
.Cm LoginGraceTime
|
|
|
|
expires for a connection.
|
|
|
|
The default is 10.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, random early drop can be enabled by specifying
|
|
|
|
the three colon separated values
|
|
|
|
.Dq start:rate:full
|
|
|
|
(e.g., "10:30:60").
|
|
|
|
.Nm sshd
|
|
|
|
will refuse connection attempts with a probability of
|
|
|
|
.Dq rate/100
|
|
|
|
(30%)
|
|
|
|
if there are currently
|
|
|
|
.Dq start
|
|
|
|
(10)
|
|
|
|
unauthenticated connections.
|
|
|
|
The probability increases linearly and all connection attempts
|
|
|
|
are refused if the number of unauthenticated connections reaches
|
|
|
|
.Dq full
|
|
|
|
(60).
|
|
|
|
.It Cm PasswordAuthentication
|

|
|
but only if the
|
|
|
|
.Ar command
|
|
|
|
option has been specified
|
|
|
|
(which may be useful for taking remote backups even if root login is
|
|
|
|
normally not allowed). All other authentication methods are disabled
|
|
|
|
for root.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|

|
.Pa ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
|
|

|
.Nm sshd .
|
|
|
|
The default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq no .
|
|
|
|
Enabling environment processing may enable users to bypass access
|
|
|
|
restrictions in some configurations using mechanisms such as
|
|
|
|
.Ev LD_PRELOAD .

The default is 22.
|
|
|
|
Multiple options of this type are permitted.
|
|
|
|
See also
|
|
|
|
.Cm ListenAddress .
|
|
|
|
.It Cm PrintLastLog
|
|
|
|
Specifies whether
|
|
|
|
.Nm sshd
|
|
|
|
should print the date and time when the user last logged in.
|
|
|
|
The default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq yes .
|
|
|
|
.It Cm PrintMotd
|
|
|
|
Specifies whether
|
|
|
|
.Nm sshd
|
|
|
|
should print
|
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/motd
|
|
|
|
when a user logs in interactively.
|
|
|
|
(On some systems it is also printed by the shell,
|
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/profile ,
|
|
|
|
or equivalent.)
|
|
|
|
The default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq yes .
|
|
|
|
.It Cm Protocol
|
|
|
|
Specifies the protocol versions
|
|
|
|
.Nm sshd
|
2002-10-29 10:16:02 +00:00
|
|
|
supports.
|
2002-06-23 14:01:54 +00:00
|
|
|
The possible values are
|
|
|
|
.Dq 1
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.Dq 2 .
|
|
|
|
Multiple versions must be comma-separated.
|
|
|
|
The default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq 2,1 .
|
2002-10-29 10:16:02 +00:00
|
|
|
Note that the order of the protocol list does not indicate preference,
|
|
|
|
because the client selects among multiple protocol versions offered
|
|
|
|
by the server.
|
|
|
|
Specifying
|
|
|
|
.Dq 2,1
|
|
|
|
is identical to
|
|
|
|
.Dq 1,2 .
|
2002-06-23 14:01:54 +00:00
|
|
|
.It Cm PubkeyAuthentication
|
|
|
|
Specifies whether public key authentication is allowed.
|
|
|
|
The default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq yes .
|
|
|
|
Note that this option applies to protocol version 2 only.
|
|
|
|
.It Cm RhostsAuthentication
|
2002-06-29 10:53:57 +00:00
|
|
|
Specifies whether authentication using rhosts or
|
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/hosts.equiv
|
2002-06-23 14:01:54 +00:00
|
|
|
files is sufficient.
|
|
|
|
Normally, this method should not be permitted because it is insecure.
|
|
|
|
.Cm RhostsRSAAuthentication
|
|
|
|
should be used
|
|
|
|
instead, because it performs RSA-based host authentication in addition
|
2002-06-29 10:53:57 +00:00
|
|
|
to normal rhosts or
|
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/hosts.equiv
|
|
|
|
authentication.
|
2002-06-23 14:01:54 +00:00
|
|
|
The default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq no .
|
|
|
|
This option applies to protocol version 1 only.
|
|
|
|
.It Cm RhostsRSAAuthentication
|
2002-06-29 10:53:57 +00:00
|
|
|
Specifies whether rhosts or
|
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/hosts.equiv
|
|
|
|
authentication together
|
2002-06-23 14:01:54 +00:00
|
|
|
with successful RSA host authentication is allowed.
|
|
|
|
The default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq no .
|
|
|
|
This option applies to protocol version 1 only.
|
|
|
|
.It Cm RSAAuthentication
|
|
|
|
Specifies whether pure RSA authentication is allowed.
|
|
|
|
The default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq yes .
|
|
|
|
This option applies to protocol version 1 only.
|
|
|
|
.It Cm ServerKeyBits
|
|
|
|
Defines the number of bits in the ephemeral protocol version 1 server key.
|
|
|
|
The minimum value is 512, and the default is 768.
|
|
|
|
.It Cm StrictModes
|
|
|
|
Specifies whether
|
|
|
|
.Nm sshd
|
|
|
|
should check file modes and ownership of the
|
|
|
|
user's files and home directory before accepting login.
|
|
|
|
This is normally desirable because novices sometimes accidentally leave their
|
|
|
|
directory or files world-writable.
|
|
|
|
The default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq yes .
|
|
|
|
.It Cm Subsystem
|
|
|
|
Configures an external subsystem (e.g., file transfer daemon).
|
|
|
|
Arguments should be a subsystem name and a command to execute upon subsystem
|
|
|
|
request.
|
|
|
|
The command
|
|
|
|
.Xr sftp-server 8
|
|
|
|
implements the
|
|
|
|
.Dq sftp
|
|
|
|
file transfer subsystem.
|
|
|
|
By default no subsystems are defined.
|
|
|
|
Note that this option applies to protocol version 2 only.
|
|
|
|
.It Cm SyslogFacility
|
|
|
|
Gives the facility code that is used when logging messages from
|
|
|
|
.Nm sshd .
|
|
|
|
The possible values are: DAEMON, USER, AUTH, LOCAL0, LOCAL1, LOCAL2,
|
|
|
|
LOCAL3, LOCAL4, LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7.
|
|
|
|
The default is AUTH.
|
|
|
|
.It Cm UseLogin
|
|
|
|
Specifies whether
|
|
|
|
.Xr login 1
|
|
|
|
is used for interactive login sessions.
|
|
|
|
The default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq no .
|
|
|
|
Note that
|
|
|
|
.Xr login 1
|
|
|
|
is never used for remote command execution.
|
|
|
|
Note also, that if this is enabled,
|
|
|
|
.Cm X11Forwarding
|
|
|
|
will be disabled because
|
|
|
|
.Xr login 1
|
|
|
|
does not know how to handle
|
|
|
|
.Xr xauth 1
|
|
|
|
cookies. If
|
|
|
|
.Cm UsePrivilegeSeparation
|
|
|
|
is specified, it will be disabled after authentication.
|
|
|
|
.It Cm UsePrivilegeSeparation
|
|
|
|
Specifies whether
|
|
|
|
.Nm sshd
|
|
|
|
separates privileges by creating an unprivileged child process
|
|
|
|
to deal with incoming network traffic. After successful authentication,
|
|
|
|
another process will be created that has the privilege of the authenticated
|
|
|
|
user. The goal of privilege separation is to prevent privilege
|
|
|
|
escalation by containing any corruption within the unprivileged processes.
|
|
|
|
The default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq yes .
|
|
|
|
.It Cm VerifyReverseMapping
|
|
|
|
Specifies whether
|
|
|
|
.Nm sshd
|
|
|
|
should try to verify the remote host name and check that
|
|
|
|
the resolved host name for the remote IP address maps back to the
|
|
|
|
very same IP address.
|
|
|
|
The default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq no .
|
2002-06-29 10:53:57 +00:00
|
|
|
.It Cm VersionAddendum
|
|
|
|
Specifies a string to append to the regular version string to identify
|
|
|
|
OS- or site-specific modifications.
|
2002-11-05 17:24:01 +00:00
|
|
|
The default is
|
2003-02-11 12:11:15 +00:00
|
|
|
.Dq FreeBSD-20030201 .
|
2002-06-23 14:01:54 +00:00
|
|
|
.It Cm X11DisplayOffset
|
|
|
|
Specifies the first display number available for
|
|
|
|
.Nm sshd Ns 's
|
|
|
|
X11 forwarding.
|
|
|
|
This prevents
|
|
|
|
.Nm sshd
|
|
|
|
from interfering with real X11 servers.
|
|
|
|
The default is 10.
|
|
|
|
.It Cm X11Forwarding
|
|
|
|
Specifies whether X11 forwarding is permitted.
|
2002-10-29 10:16:02 +00:00
|
|
|
The argument must be
|
|
|
|
.Dq yes
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
.Dq no .
|
2002-06-23 14:01:54 +00:00
|
|
|
The default is
|
2002-11-05 17:24:01 +00:00
|
|
|
.Dq yes .
|
2002-10-29 10:16:02 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
When X11 forwarding is enabled, there may be additional exposure to
|
|
|
|
the server and to client displays if the
|
|
|
|
.Nm sshd
|
|
|
|
proxy display is configured to listen on the wildcard address (see
|
|
|
|
.Cm X11UseLocalhost
|
|
|
|
below), however this is not the default.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, the authentication spoofing and authentication data
|
|
|
|
verification and substitution occur on the client side.
|
|
|
|
The security risk of using X11 forwarding is that the client's X11
|
|
|
|
display server may be exposed to attack when the ssh client requests
|
|
|
|
forwarding (see the warnings for
|
|
|
|
.Cm ForwardX11
|
|
|
|
in
|
|
|
|
.Xr ssh_config 5 ).
|
|
|
|
A system administrator may have a stance in which they want to
|
|
|
|
protect clients that may expose themselves to attack by unwittingly
|
|
|
|
requesting X11 forwarding, which can warrant a
|
|
|
|
.Dq no
|
|
|
|
setting.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
Note that disabling X11 forwarding does not prevent users from
|
|
|
|
forwarding X11 traffic, as users can always install their own forwarders.
|
2002-06-23 14:01:54 +00:00
|
|
|
X11 forwarding is automatically disabled if
|
|
|
|
.Cm UseLogin
|
|
|
|
is enabled.
|
|
|
|
.It Cm X11UseLocalhost
|
|
|
|
Specifies whether
|
|
|
|
.Nm sshd
|
|
|
|
should bind the X11 forwarding server to the loopback address or to
|
|
|
|
the wildcard address. By default,
|
|
|
|
.Nm sshd
|
|
|
|
binds the forwarding server to the loopback address and sets the
|
|
|
|
hostname part of the
|
|
|
|
.Ev DISPLAY
|
|
|
|
environment variable to
|
|
|
|
.Dq localhost .
|
2002-10-29 10:16:02 +00:00
|
|
|
This prevents remote hosts from connecting to the proxy display.
|
2002-06-23 14:01:54 +00:00
|
|
|
However, some older X11 clients may not function with this
|
|
|
|
configuration.
|
|
|
|
.Cm X11UseLocalhost
|
|
|
|
may be set to
|
|
|
|
.Dq no
|
|
|
|
to specify that the forwarding server should be bound to the wildcard
|
|
|
|
address.
|
|
|
|
The argument must be
|
|
|
|
.Dq yes
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
.Dq no .
|
|
|
|
The default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq yes .
|
|
|
|
.It Cm XAuthLocation
|
2002-10-29 10:16:02 +00:00
|
|
|
Specifies the full pathname of the
|
2002-06-23 14:01:54 +00:00
|
|
|
.Xr xauth 1
|
|
|
|
program.
|
|
