Dag-Erling Smørgrav ce3adf4362 Pull in all the OpenSSH bits that we'd previously left out because we
didn't use them.  This will make future merges from the vendor tree much
easier.

SFTP-SERVER(8) OpenBSD System Manager's Manual SFTP-SERVER(8)
NAME
sftp-server - SFTP server subsystem
SYNOPSIS
sftp-server [-ehR] [-d start_directory] [-f log_facility] [-l log_level]
[-u umask]
DESCRIPTION
sftp-server is a program that speaks the server side of SFTP protocol to
stdout and expects client requests from stdin. sftp-server is not
intended to be called directly, but from sshd(8) using the Subsystem
option.
Command-line flags to sftp-server should be specified in the Subsystem
declaration. See sshd_config(5) for more information.
Valid options are:
-d start_directory
specifies an alternate starting directory for users. The
pathname may contain the following tokens that are expanded at
runtime: %% 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. The default is to use the
user's home directory. This option is useful in conjunction with
the sshd_config(5) ChrootDirectory option.
-e Causes sftp-server to print logging information to stderr instead
of syslog for debugging.
-f log_facility
Specifies the facility code that is used when logging messages
from sftp-server. The possible values are: DAEMON, USER, AUTH,
LOCAL0, LOCAL1, LOCAL2, LOCAL3, LOCAL4, LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7.
The default is AUTH.
-h Displays sftp-server usage information.
-l log_level
Specifies which messages will be logged by sftp-server. The
possible values are: QUIET, FATAL, ERROR, INFO, VERBOSE, DEBUG,
DEBUG1, DEBUG2, and DEBUG3. INFO and VERBOSE log transactions
that sftp-server performs on behalf of the client. DEBUG and
DEBUG1 are equivalent. DEBUG2 and DEBUG3 each specify higher
levels of debugging output. The default is ERROR.
-R Places this instance of sftp-server into a read-only mode.
Attempts to open files for writing, as well as other operations
that change the state of the filesystem, will be denied.
-u umask
Sets an explicit umask(2) to be applied to newly-created files
and directories, instead of the user's default mask.
For logging to work, sftp-server must be able to access /dev/log. Use of
sftp-server in a chroot configuration therefore requires that syslogd(8)
establish a logging socket inside the chroot directory.
