.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm sshd_config
|
|
.Nd OpenSSH SSH daemon configuration file
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
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.
|
|
For each keyword, the first obtained value will be used.
|
|
Lines starting with
|
|
.Ql #
|
|
and empty lines are interpreted as comments.
|
|
Arguments may optionally be enclosed in double quotes
|
|
.Pq \&"
|
|
in order to represent arguments containing spaces.
|
|
.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 AcceptEnv
|
|
Specifies what environment variables sent by the client will be copied into
|
|
the session's
|
|
.Xr environ 7 .
|
|
See
|
|
.Cm SendEnv
|
|
in
|
|
.Xr ssh_config 5
|
|
for how to configure the client.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ev TERM
|
|
environment variable is always sent whenever the client
|
|
requests a pseudo-terminal as it is required by the protocol.
|
|
Variables are specified by name, which may contain the wildcard characters
|
|
.Ql *
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql \&? .
|
|
Multiple environment variables may be separated by whitespace or spread
|
|
across multiple
|
|
.Cm AcceptEnv
|
|
directives.
|
|
Be warned that some environment variables could be used to bypass restricted
|
|
user environments.
|
|
For this reason, care should be taken in the use of this directive.
|
|
The default is not to accept any environment variables.
|
|
.It Cm AddressFamily
|
|
Specifies which address family should be used by
|
|
.Xr sshd 8 .
|
|
Valid arguments are
|
|
.Cm any
|
|
(the default),
|
|
.Cm inet
|
|
(use IPv4 only), or
|
|
.Cm inet6
|
|
(use IPv6 only).
|
|
.It Cm AllowAgentForwarding
|
|
Specifies whether
|
|
.Xr ssh-agent 1
|
|
forwarding is permitted.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm yes .
|
|
Note that disabling agent forwarding does not improve security
|
|
unless users are also denied shell access, as they can always install
|
|
their own forwarders.
|
|
.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.
|
|
Only group names are valid; a numerical group ID is not recognized.
|
|
By default, login is allowed for all groups.
|
|
The allow/deny directives are processed in the following order:
|
|
.Cm DenyUsers ,
|
|
.Cm AllowUsers ,
|
|
.Cm DenyGroups ,
|
|
and finally
|
|
.Cm AllowGroups .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
See PATTERNS in
|
|
.Xr ssh_config 5
|
|
for more information on patterns.
|
|
.It Cm AllowStreamLocalForwarding
|
|
Specifies whether StreamLocal (Unix-domain socket) forwarding is permitted.
|
|
The available options are
|
|
.Cm yes
|
|
(the default)
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm all
|
|
to allow StreamLocal forwarding,
|
|
.Cm no
|
|
to prevent all StreamLocal forwarding,
|
|
.Cm local
|
|
to allow local (from the perspective of
|
|
.Xr ssh 1 )
|
|
forwarding only or
|
|
.Cm remote
|
|
to allow remote forwarding only.
|
|
Note that disabling StreamLocal forwarding does not improve security unless
|
|
users are also denied shell access, as they can always install their
|
|
own forwarders.
|
|
.It Cm AllowTcpForwarding
|
|
Specifies whether TCP forwarding is permitted.
|
|
The available options are
|
|
.Cm yes
|
|
(the default)
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm all
|
|
to allow TCP forwarding,
|
|
.Cm no
|
|
to prevent all TCP forwarding,
|
|
.Cm local
|
|
to allow local (from the perspective of
|
|
.Xr ssh 1 )
|
|
forwarding only or
|
|
.Cm remote
|
|
to allow remote forwarding only.
|
|
Note that disabling TCP forwarding does not improve security unless
|
|
users are also denied shell access, as they can always install their
|
|
own forwarders.
|
|
.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 user names that
|
|
match one of 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.
|
|
HOST criteria may additionally contain addresses to match in CIDR
|
|
address/masklen format.
|
|
The allow/deny directives are processed in the following order:
|
|
.Cm DenyUsers ,
|
|
.Cm AllowUsers ,
|
|
.Cm DenyGroups ,
|
|
and finally
|
|
.Cm AllowGroups .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
See PATTERNS in
|
|
.Xr ssh_config 5
|
|
for more information on patterns.
|
|
.It Cm AuthenticationMethods
|
|
Specifies the authentication methods that must be successfully completed
|
|
for a user to be granted access.
|
|
This option must be followed by one or more comma-separated lists of
|
|
authentication method names, or by the single string
|
|
.Cm any
|
|
to indicate the default behaviour of accepting any single authentication
|
|
method.
|
|
If the default is overridden, then successful authentication requires
|
|
completion of every method in at least one of these lists.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For example,
|
|
.Qq publickey,password publickey,keyboard-interactive
|
|
would require the user to complete public key authentication, followed by
|
|
either password or keyboard interactive authentication.
|
|
Only methods that are next in one or more lists are offered at each stage,
|
|
so for this example it would not be possible to attempt password or
|
|
keyboard-interactive authentication before public key.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For keyboard interactive authentication it is also possible to
|
|
restrict authentication to a specific device by appending a
|
|
colon followed by the device identifier
|
|
.Cm bsdauth ,
|
|
.Cm pam ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm skey ,
|
|
depending on the server configuration.
|
|
For example,
|
|
.Qq keyboard-interactive:bsdauth
|
|
would restrict keyboard interactive authentication to the
|
|
.Cm bsdauth
|
|
device.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the publickey method is listed more than once,
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
verifies that keys that have been used successfully are not reused for
|
|
subsequent authentications.
|
|
For example,
|
|
.Qq publickey,publickey
|
|
requires successful authentication using two different public keys.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that each authentication method listed should also be explicitly enabled
|
|
in the configuration.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The available authentication methods are:
|
|
.Qq gssapi-with-mic ,
|
|
.Qq hostbased ,
|
|
.Qq keyboard-interactive ,
|
|
.Qq none
|
|
(used for access to password-less accounts when
|
|
.Cm PermitEmptyPassword
|
|
is enabled),
|
|
.Qq password
|
|
and
|
|
.Qq publickey .
|
|
.It Cm AuthorizedKeysCommand
|
|
Specifies a program to be used to look up the user's public keys.
|
|
The program must be owned by root, not writable by group or others and
|
|
specified by an absolute path.
|
|
Arguments to
|
|
.Cm AuthorizedKeysCommand
|
|
accept the tokens described in the
|
|
.Sx TOKENS
|
|
section.
|
|
If no arguments are specified then the username of the target user is used.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The program should produce on standard output zero or
|
|
more lines of authorized_keys output (see
|
|
.Sx AUTHORIZED_KEYS
|
|
in
|
|
.Xr sshd 8 ) .
|
|
If a key supplied by
|
|
.Cm AuthorizedKeysCommand
|
|
does not successfully authenticate
|
|
and authorize the user then public key authentication continues using the usual
|
|
.Cm AuthorizedKeysFile
|
|
files.
|
|
By default, no
|
|
.Cm AuthorizedKeysCommand
|
|
is run.
|
|
.It Cm AuthorizedKeysCommandUser
|
|
Specifies the user under whose account the
|
|
.Cm AuthorizedKeysCommand
|
|
is run.
|
|
It is recommended to use a dedicated user that has no other role on the host
|
|
than running authorized keys commands.
|
|
If
|
|
.Cm AuthorizedKeysCommand
|
|
is specified but
|
|
.Cm AuthorizedKeysCommandUser
|
|
is not, then
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
will refuse to start.
|
|
.It Cm AuthorizedKeysFile
|
|
Specifies the file that contains the public keys used for user authentication.
|
|
The format is described in the
|
|
.Sx AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT
|
|
section of
|
|
.Xr sshd 8 .
|
|
Arguments to
|
|
.Cm AuthorizedKeysFile
|
|
accept the tokens described in the
|
|
.Sx TOKENS
|
|
section.
|
|
After expansion,
|
|
.Cm AuthorizedKeysFile
|
|
is taken to be an absolute path or one relative to the user's home
|
|
directory.
|
|
Multiple files may be listed, separated by whitespace.
|
|
Alternately this option may be set to
|
|
.Cm none
|
|
to skip checking for user keys in files.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Qq .ssh/authorized_keys .ssh/authorized_keys2 .
|
|
.It Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand
|
|
Specifies a program to be used to generate the list of allowed
|
|
certificate principals as per
|
|
.Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsFile .
|
|
The program must be owned by root, not writable by group or others and
|
|
specified by an absolute path.
|
|
Arguments to
|
|
.Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand
|
|
accept the tokens described in the
|
|
.Sx TOKENS
|
|
section.
|
|
If no arguments are specified then the username of the target user is used.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The program should produce on standard output zero or
|
|
more lines of
|
|
.Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsFile
|
|
output.
|
|
If either
|
|
.Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsFile
|
|
is specified, then certificates offered by the client for authentication
|
|
must contain a principal that is listed.
|
|
By default, no
|
|
.Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand
|
|
is run.
|
|
.It Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsCommandUser
|
|
Specifies the user under whose account the
|
|
.Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand
|
|
is run.
|
|
It is recommended to use a dedicated user that has no other role on the host
|
|
than running authorized principals commands.
|
|
If
|
|
.Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand
|
|
is specified but
|
|
.Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsCommandUser
|
|
is not, then
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
will refuse to start.
|
|
.It Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsFile
|
|
Specifies a file that lists principal names that are accepted for
|
|
certificate authentication.
|
|
When using certificates signed by a key listed in
|
|
.Cm TrustedUserCAKeys ,
|
|
this file lists names, one of which must appear in the certificate for it
|
|
to be accepted for authentication.
|
|
Names are listed one per line preceded by key options (as described in
|
|
.Sx AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT
|
|
in
|
|
.Xr sshd 8 ) .
|
|
Empty lines and comments starting with
|
|
.Ql #
|
|
are ignored.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Arguments to
|
|
.Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsFile
|
|
accept the tokens described in the
|
|
.Sx TOKENS
|
|
section.
|
|
After expansion,
|
|
.Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsFile
|
|
is taken to be an absolute path or one relative to the user's home directory.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm none ,
|
|
i.e. not to use a principals file \(en in this case, the username
|
|
of the user must appear in a certificate's principals list for it to be
|
|
accepted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that
|
|
.Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsFile
|
|
is only used when authentication proceeds using a CA listed in
|
|
.Cm TrustedUserCAKeys
|
|
and is not consulted for certification authorities trusted via
|
|
.Pa ~/.ssh/authorized_keys ,
|
|
though the
|
|
.Cm principals=
|
|
key option offers a similar facility (see
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
for details).
|
|
.It Cm Banner
|
|
The contents of the specified file are sent to the remote user before
|
|
authentication is allowed.
|
|
If the argument is
|
|
.Cm none
|
|
then no banner is displayed.
|
|
By default, no banner is displayed.
|
|
.It Cm ChallengeResponseAuthentication
|
|
Specifies whether challenge-response authentication is allowed (e.g. via
|
|
PAM or through authentication styles supported in
|
|
.Xr login.conf 5 )
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm yes .
|
|
.It Cm ChrootDirectory
|
|
Specifies the pathname of a directory to
|
|
.Xr chroot 2
|
|
to after authentication.
|
|
At session startup
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
checks that all components of the pathname are root-owned directories
|
|
which are not writable by any other user or group.
|
|
After the chroot,
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
changes the working directory to the user's home directory.
|
|
Arguments to
|
|
.Cm ChrootDirectory
|
|
accept the tokens described in the
|
|
.Sx TOKENS
|
|
section.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Cm ChrootDirectory
|
|
must contain the necessary files and directories to support the
|
|
user's session.
|
|
For an interactive session this requires at least a shell, typically
|
|
.Xr sh 1 ,
|
|
and basic
|
|
.Pa /dev
|
|
nodes such as
|
|
.Xr null 4 ,
|
|
.Xr zero 4 ,
|
|
.Xr stdin 4 ,
|
|
.Xr stdout 4 ,
|
|
.Xr stderr 4 ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr tty 4
|
|
devices.
|
|
For file transfer sessions using SFTP
|
|
no additional configuration of the environment is necessary if the in-process
|
|
sftp-server is used,
|
|
though sessions which use logging may require
|
|
.Pa /dev/log
|
|
inside the chroot directory on some operating systems (see
|
|
.Xr sftp-server 8
|
|
for details).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For safety, it is very important that the directory hierarchy be
|
|
prevented from modification by other processes on the system (especially
|
|
those outside the jail).
|
|
Misconfiguration can lead to unsafe environments which
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
cannot detect.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm none ,
|
|
indicating not to
|
|
.Xr chroot 2 .
|
|
.It Cm Ciphers
|
|
Specifies the ciphers allowed.
|
|
Multiple ciphers must be comma-separated.
|
|
If the specified value begins with a
|
|
.Sq +
|
|
character, then the specified ciphers will be appended to the default set
|
|
instead of replacing them.
|
|
If the specified value begins with a
|
|
.Sq -
|
|
character, then the specified ciphers (including wildcards) will be removed
|
|
from the default set instead of replacing them.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The supported ciphers are:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -item -compact -offset indent
|
|
.It
|
|
3des-cbc
|
|

|
|
chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com

.Pp
|
|
The default is:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com,
|
|
aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,

|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The list of available ciphers may also be obtained using
|
|
.Qq ssh -Q cipher .
|
|
.It Cm ClientAliveCountMax
|
|
Sets the number of client alive messages which may be sent without
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
receiving any messages back from the client.
|
|
If this threshold is reached while client alive messages are being sent,
|
|
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 TCPKeepAlive .
|
|
The client alive messages are sent through the encrypted channel
|
|
and therefore will not be spoofable.
|
|
The TCP keepalive option enabled by
|
|
.Cm TCPKeepAlive
|
|
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
|
|
is set to 15, and
|
|
.Cm ClientAliveCountMax
|
|
is left at the default, unresponsive SSH clients
|
|
will be disconnected after approximately 45 seconds.
|
|
.It Cm ClientAliveInterval
|
|
Sets a timeout interval in seconds after which if no data has been received
|
|
from the client,
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
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.
|
|
.It Cm Compression
|
|
Specifies whether compression is enabled after
|
|
the user has authenticated successfully.
|
|
The argument must be
|
|
.Cm yes ,
|
|
.Cm delayed
|
|
(a legacy synonym for
|
|
.Cm yes )
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm no .
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm 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.
|
|
Only group names are valid; a numerical group ID is not recognized.
|
|
By default, login is allowed for all groups.
|
|
The allow/deny directives are processed in the following order:
|
|
.Cm DenyUsers ,
|
|
.Cm AllowUsers ,
|
|
.Cm DenyGroups ,
|
|
and finally

|
|
.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.
|
|
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.
|
|
HOST criteria may additionally contain addresses to match in CIDR
|
|
address/masklen format.
|
|
The allow/deny directives are processed in the following order:
|
|
.Cm DenyUsers ,
|
|
.Cm AllowUsers ,
|
|
.Cm DenyGroups ,
|
|
and finally
|

.It Cm DisableForwarding
|
|
Disables all forwarding features, including X11,
|
|
.Xr ssh-agent 1 ,
|
|
TCP and StreamLocal.
|
|
This option overrides all other forwarding-related options and may
|
|
simplify restricted configurations.
|
|
.It Cm ExposeAuthInfo
|
|
Writes a temporary file containing a list of authentication methods and
|
|
public credentials (e.g. keys) used to authenticate the user.
|
|
The location of the file is exposed to the user session through the
|
|
.Ev SSH_USER_AUTH
|
|
environment variable.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm no .
|
|
.It Cm FingerprintHash
|
|
Specifies the hash algorithm used when logging key fingerprints.
|
|
Valid options are:
|
|
.Cm md5
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm sha256 .
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm sha256 .
|
|
.It Cm ForceCommand
|
|
Forces the execution of the command specified by
|
|
.Cm ForceCommand ,
|
|
ignoring any command supplied by the client and
|
|
.Pa ~/.ssh/rc
|
|
if present.
|
|
The command is invoked by using the user's login shell with the -c option.
|
|
This applies to shell, command, or subsystem execution.
|
|
It is most useful inside a
|
|
.Cm Match
|
|
block.
|
|
The command originally supplied by the client is available in the
|
|
.Ev SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND
|
|
environment variable.
|
|
Specifying a command of
|
|
.Cm internal-sftp
|
|
will force the use of an in-process SFTP server that requires no support
|
|
files when used with
|
|
.Cm ChrootDirectory .
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm none .
|
|
.It Cm GatewayPorts
|
|
Specifies whether remote hosts are allowed to connect to ports
|
|
forwarded for the client.
|
|
By default,
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
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 sshd
|
|
should allow remote port forwardings to bind to non-loopback addresses, thus
|
|
allowing other hosts to connect.
|
|
The argument may be
|
|
.Cm no
|
|
to force remote port forwardings to be available to the local host only,
|
|
.Cm yes
|
|
to force remote port forwardings to bind to the wildcard address, or
|
|
.Cm clientspecified
|
|
to allow the client to select the address to which the forwarding is bound.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm no .
|
|
.It Cm GSSAPIAuthentication
|
|
Specifies whether user authentication based on GSSAPI is allowed.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm no .
|
|
.It Cm GSSAPICleanupCredentials
|
|
Specifies whether to automatically destroy the user's credentials cache
|
|
on logout.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm yes .
|
|
.It Cm GSSAPIStrictAcceptorCheck
|
|
Determines whether to be strict about the identity of the GSSAPI acceptor
|
|
a client authenticates against.
|
|
If set to
|
|
.Cm yes
|
|
then the client must authenticate against the host
|
|
service on the current hostname.
|
|
If set to
|
|
.Cm no
|
|
then the client may authenticate against any service key stored in the
|
|
machine's default store.
|
|
This facility is provided to assist with operation on multi homed machines.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm yes .
|
|
.It Cm HostbasedAcceptedKeyTypes
|
|
Specifies the key types that will be accepted for hostbased authentication
|
|
as a comma-separated pattern list.
|
|
Alternately if the specified value begins with a
|
|
.Sq +
|
|
character, then the specified key types will be appended to the default set
|
|
instead of replacing them.
|
|
If the specified value begins with a
|
|
.Sq -
|
|
character, then the specified key types (including wildcards) will be removed
|
|
from the default set instead of replacing them.
|
|
The default for this option is:

|
|
.It Cm HostbasedAuthentication
|
|
Specifies whether rhosts or /etc/hosts.equiv authentication together
|
|
with successful public key client host authentication is allowed
|
|
(host-based authentication).
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm no .
|
|
.It Cm HostbasedUsesNameFromPacketOnly
|
|
Specifies whether or not the server will attempt to perform a reverse
|
|
name lookup when matching the name in the
|
|
.Pa ~/.shosts ,
|
|
.Pa ~/.rhosts ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa /etc/hosts.equiv
|
|
files during
|
|
.Cm HostbasedAuthentication .
|
|
A setting of
|
|
.Cm yes
|
|
means that
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
uses the name supplied by the client rather than
|
|
attempting to resolve the name from the TCP connection itself.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm no .
|
|
.It Cm HostCertificate
|
|
Specifies a file containing a public host certificate.
|
|
The certificate's public key must match a private host key already specified
|
|
by
|
|
.Cm HostKey .
|
|
The default behaviour of
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
is not to load any certificates.
|
|
.It Cm HostKey
|
|
Specifies a file containing a private host key
|
|
used by SSH.
|
|
The defaults are
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key ,
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
will refuse to use a file if it is group/world-accessible
|
|
and that the
|
|
.Cm HostKeyAlgorithms
|
|
option restricts which of the keys are actually used by
|
|
.Xr sshd 8 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is possible to have multiple host key files.
|
|
It is also possible to specify public host key files instead.
|
|
In this case operations on the private key will be delegated
|
|
to an
|
|
.Xr ssh-agent 1 .
|
|
.It Cm HostKeyAgent
|
|
Identifies the UNIX-domain socket used to communicate
|
|
with an agent that has access to the private host keys.
|
|
If the string
|
|
.Qq SSH_AUTH_SOCK
|
|
is specified, the location of the socket will be read from the
|
|
.Ev SSH_AUTH_SOCK
|
|
environment variable.
|
|
.It Cm HostKeyAlgorithms
|
|
Specifies the host key algorithms
|
|
that the server offers.

|
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.
|

|
|
Note that the mask length provided must be consistent with the address -
|
|
it is an error to specify a mask length that is too long for the address
|
|
or one with bits set in this host portion of the address.
|
|
For example, 192.0.2.0/33 and 192.0.2.0/8, respectively.

.It Cm MaxAuthTries
|
|
Specifies the maximum number of authentication attempts permitted per
|
|
connection.
|
|
Once the number of failures reaches half this value,
|
|
additional failures are logged.
|
|
The default is 6.
|
|
.It Cm MaxSessions
|
|
Specifies the maximum number of open shell, login or subsystem (e.g. sftp)
|
|
sessions permitted per network connection.
|
|
Multiple sessions may be established by clients that support connection
|
|
multiplexing.
|
|
Setting
|
|
.Cm MaxSessions
|
|
to 1 will effectively disable session multiplexing, whereas setting it to 0
|
|
will prevent all shell, login and subsystem sessions while still permitting
|
|
forwarding.
|
|
The default is 10.
|
|
.It Cm MaxStartups
|
|
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent unauthenticated connections to the
|
|
SSH daemon.
|
|
Additional connections will be dropped until authentication succeeds or the
|
|
.Cm LoginGraceTime
|
|
expires for a connection.
|
|
The default is 10:30:100.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternatively, random early drop can be enabled by specifying
|
|
the three colon separated values
|
|
start:rate:full (e.g. "10:30:60").
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
will refuse connection attempts with a probability of rate/100 (30%)
|
|
if there are currently start (10) unauthenticated connections.
|
|
The probability increases linearly and all connection attempts
|
|
are refused if the number of unauthenticated connections reaches full (60).
|
|
.It Cm PasswordAuthentication
|
|
Specifies whether password authentication is allowed.
|
|
See also
|
|
.Cm UsePAM .
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm no .
|
|
.It Cm PermitEmptyPasswords
|
|
When password authentication is allowed, it specifies whether the
|
|
server allows login to accounts with empty password strings.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm no .
|
|
.It Cm PermitOpen
|
|
Specifies the destinations to which TCP port forwarding is permitted.
|
|
The forwarding specification must be one of the following forms:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -item -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It
|

.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Multiple forwards may be specified by separating them with whitespace.
|
|
An argument of
|
|
.Cm any
|
|
can be used to remove all restrictions and permit any forwarding requests.
|
|
An argument of
|
|
.Cm none
|
|
can be used to prohibit all forwarding requests.
|
|
The wildcard
|
|
.Sq *
|
|
can be used for host or port to allow all hosts or ports, respectively.
|
|
By default all port forwarding requests are permitted.
|
|
.It Cm PermitRootLogin
|
|
Specifies whether root can log in using
|
|
.Xr ssh 1 .
|
|
The argument must be
|

|
.Cm UsePAM
|
|
are both
|
|
.Cm yes ,
|
|
this setting may be overridden by the PAM policy.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If this option is set to
|
|
.Cm prohibit-password
|
|
(or its deprecated alias,
|
|
.Cm without-password ) ,
|
|
password and keyboard-interactive authentication are disabled for root.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If this option is set to
|
|
.Cm forced-commands-only ,
|
|
root login with public key authentication will be allowed,
|
|
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
|
|
If this option is set to
|
|
.Cm no ,
|
|
root is not allowed to log in.
|
|
.It Cm PermitTTY
|
|
Specifies whether
|
|
.Xr pty 4
|
|
allocation is permitted.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm yes .
|
|
.It Cm PermitTunnel
|
|
Specifies whether

The argument must be
|
|
.Cm yes ,
|
|
.Cm point-to-point
|
|
(layer 3),
|
|
.Cm ethernet
|
|
(layer 2), or
|
|
.Cm no .
|
|
Specifying
|
|
.Cm yes
|
|
permits both
|
|
.Cm point-to-point
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm ethernet .
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm no .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Independent of this setting, the permissions of the selected
|
|
.Xr tun 4
|
|
device must allow access to the user.
|
|
.It Cm PermitUserEnvironment
|
|
Specifies whether
|
|
.Pa ~/.ssh/environment
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm environment=
|
|
options in
|
|
.Pa ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
|
|
are processed by
|
|
.Xr sshd 8 .
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm no .
|
|
Enabling environment processing may enable users to bypass access
|
|
restrictions in some configurations using mechanisms such as
|
|
.Ev LD_PRELOAD .
|
|
.It Cm PermitUserRC
|
|
Specifies whether any
|
|
.Pa ~/.ssh/rc
|
|
file is executed.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm yes .
|
|
.It Cm PidFile
|
|
Specifies the file that contains the process ID of the

|
.Cm none
|
|
to not write one.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Pa /var/run/sshd.pid .
|
|
.It Cm Port
|
|
Specifies the port number that
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
listens on.
|
|
The default is 22.
|
|
Multiple options of this type are permitted.
|
|
See also
|
|
.Cm ListenAddress .
|
|
.It Cm PrintLastLog
|
|
Specifies whether
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
should print the date and time of the last user login when a user logs
|
|
in interactively.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm yes .
|
|
.It Cm PrintMotd
|
|
Specifies whether
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
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
|
|
.Cm yes .
|
|
.It Cm PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes
|
|
Specifies the key types that will be accepted for public key authentication
|
|
as a comma-separated pattern list.
|
|
Alternately if the specified value begins with a
|
|
.Sq +
|
|
character, then the specified key types will be appended to the default set
|
|
instead of replacing them.
|
|
If the specified value begins with a
|
|
.Sq -
|
|
character, then the specified key types (including wildcards) will be removed
|
|
from the default set instead of replacing them.
|
|
The default for this option is:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset 3n
|
|
ecdsa-sha2-nistp256-cert-v01@openssh.com,

|
.Pp
|
|
The list of available key types may also be obtained using
|
|
.Qq ssh -Q key .
|
|
.It Cm PubkeyAuthentication
|
|
Specifies whether public key authentication is allowed.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm yes .
|
|
.It Cm RekeyLimit
|
|
Specifies the maximum amount of data that may be transmitted before the
|
|
session key is renegotiated, optionally followed a maximum amount of
|
|
time that may pass before the session key is renegotiated.
|
|
The first argument is specified in bytes and may have a suffix of
|
|
.Sq K ,
|
|
.Sq M ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Sq G
|
|
to indicate Kilobytes, Megabytes, or Gigabytes, respectively.
|
|
The default is between
|
|
.Sq 1G
|
|
and
|
|
.Sq 4G ,
|
|
depending on the cipher.
|
|
The optional second value is specified in seconds and may use any of the
|
|
units documented in the
|
|
.Sx TIME FORMATS
|
|
section.
|
|
The default value for
|
|
.Cm RekeyLimit
|
|
is
|
|
.Cm default none ,
|
|
which means that rekeying is performed after the cipher's default amount
|
|
of data has been sent or received and no time based rekeying is done.
|
|
.It Cm RevokedKeys
|
|
Specifies revoked public keys file, or
|
|
.Cm none
|
|
to not use one.
|
|
Keys listed in this file will be refused for public key authentication.
|
|
Note that if this file is not readable, then public key authentication will
|
|
be refused for all users.
|
|
Keys may be specified as a text file, listing one public key per line, or as
|
|
an OpenSSH Key Revocation List (KRL) as generated by
|
|
.Xr ssh-keygen 1 .
|
|
For more information on KRLs, see the KEY REVOCATION LISTS section in
|
|
.Xr ssh-keygen 1 .
|
|
.It Cm RDomain
|
|
Specifies an explicit routing domain that is applied after authentication
|
|
has completed.
|
|
The user session, as well and any forwarded or listening IP sockets,
|
|
will be bound to this
|
|
.Xr rdomain 4 .
|
|
If the routing domain is set to
|
|
.Cm \&%D ,
|
|
then the domain in which the incoming connection was received will be applied.
|
|
.It Cm StreamLocalBindMask
|
|
Sets the octal file creation mode mask
|
|
.Pq umask
|
|
used when creating a Unix-domain socket file for local or remote
|
|
port forwarding.
|
|
This option is only used for port forwarding to a Unix-domain socket file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The default value is 0177, which creates a Unix-domain socket file that is
|
|
readable and writable only by the owner.
|
|
Note that not all operating systems honor the file mode on Unix-domain
|
|
socket files.
|
|
.It Cm StreamLocalBindUnlink
|
|
Specifies whether to remove an existing Unix-domain socket file for local
|
|
or remote port forwarding before creating a new one.
|
|
If the socket file already exists and
|
|
.Cm StreamLocalBindUnlink
|
|
is not enabled,
|
|
.Nm sshd
|
|
will be unable to forward the port to the Unix-domain socket file.
|
|
This option is only used for port forwarding to a Unix-domain socket file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The argument must be
|
|
.Cm yes
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm no .
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm no .
|
|
.It Cm StrictModes
|
|
Specifies whether
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
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
|
|
.Cm yes .
|
|
Note that this does not apply to
|
|
.Cm ChrootDirectory ,
|
|
whose permissions and ownership are checked unconditionally.
|
|
.It Cm Subsystem
|
|
Configures an external subsystem (e.g. file transfer daemon).
|
|
Arguments should be a subsystem name and a command (with optional arguments)
|
|
to execute upon subsystem request.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The command
|
|
.Cm sftp-server
|
|
implements the SFTP file transfer subsystem.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternately the name
|
|
.Cm internal-sftp
|
|
implements an in-process SFTP server.
|
|
This may simplify configurations using
|
|
.Cm ChrootDirectory
|
|
to force a different filesystem root on clients.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
By default no subsystems are defined.
|
|
.It Cm SyslogFacility
|
|
Gives the facility code that is used when logging messages from
|
|
.Xr sshd 8 .
|
|
The possible values are: DAEMON, USER, AUTH, LOCAL0, LOCAL1, LOCAL2,
|
|
LOCAL3, LOCAL4, LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7.
|
|
The default is AUTH.
|
|
.It Cm TCPKeepAlive
|
|
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 TCP keepalives are not sent,
|
|
sessions may hang indefinitely on the server, leaving
|
|
.Qq ghost
|
|
users and consuming server resources.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm yes
|
|
(to send TCP keepalive messages), and the server will notice
|
|
if the network goes down or the client host crashes.
|
|
This avoids infinitely hanging sessions.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To disable TCP keepalive messages, the value should be set to
|
|
.Cm no .
|
|
.It Cm TrustedUserCAKeys
|
|
Specifies a file containing public keys of certificate authorities that are
|
|
trusted to sign user certificates for authentication, or
|
|
.Cm none
|
|
to not use one.
|
|
Keys are listed one per line; empty lines and comments starting with
|
|
.Ql #
|
|
are allowed.
|
|
If a certificate is presented for authentication and has its signing CA key
|
|
listed in this file, then it may be used for authentication for any user
|
|
listed in the certificate's principals list.
|
|
Note that certificates that lack a list of principals will not be permitted
|
|
for authentication using
|
|
.Cm TrustedUserCAKeys .
|
|
For more details on certificates, see the CERTIFICATES section in
|
|
.Xr ssh-keygen 1 .
|
|
.It Cm UseBlacklist
|
|
Specifies whether
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
attempts to send authentication success and failure messages
|
|
to the
|
|
.Xr blacklistd 8
|
|
daemon.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm no .
|
|
.It Cm UseDNS
|
|
Specifies whether
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
should look up the remote host name, and to check that
|
|
the resolved host name for the remote IP address maps back to the
|
|
very same IP address.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If this option is set to
|
|
.Cm no ,
|
|
then only addresses and not host names may be used in
|
|
.Pa ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
|
|
.Cm from
|
|
and
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Cm Match
|
|
.Cm Host
|
|
directives.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Dq yes .
|
|
.It Cm UsePAM
|
|
Enables the Pluggable Authentication Module interface.
|
|
If set to
|
|
.Cm yes
|
|
this will enable PAM authentication using
|
|
.Cm ChallengeResponseAuthentication
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm PasswordAuthentication
|
|
in addition to PAM account and session module processing for all
|
|
authentication types.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Because PAM challenge-response authentication usually serves an equivalent
|
|
role to password authentication, you should disable either
|
|
.Cm PasswordAuthentication
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm ChallengeResponseAuthentication.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Cm UsePAM
|
|
is enabled, you will not be able to run
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
as a non-root user.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm yes .
|
|
.It Cm VersionAddendum
|
|
Optionally specifies additional text to append to the SSH protocol banner
|
|
sent by the server upon connection.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Qq FreeBSD-20180510 .
|
|
The value
|
|
.Cm none
|
|
may be used to disable this.
|
|
.It Cm X11DisplayOffset
|
|
Specifies the first display number available for
|
|
.Xr sshd 8 Ns 's
|
|
X11 forwarding.
|
|
This prevents sshd from interfering with real X11 servers.
|
|
The default is 10.
|
|
.It Cm X11Forwarding
|
|
Specifies whether X11 forwarding is permitted.
|
|
The argument must be
|
|
.Cm yes
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm no .
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm yes .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When X11 forwarding is enabled, there may be additional exposure to
|
|
the server and to client displays if the
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
proxy display is configured to listen on the wildcard address (see
|
|
.Cm X11UseLocalhost ) ,
|
|
though 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
|
|
.Cm no
|
|
setting.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that disabling X11 forwarding does not prevent users from
|
|
forwarding X11 traffic, as users can always install their own forwarders.
|
|
.It Cm X11UseLocalhost
|
|
Specifies whether
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
should bind the X11 forwarding server to the loopback address or to
|
|
the wildcard address.
|
|
By default,
|
|
sshd binds the forwarding server to the loopback address and sets the
|
|
hostname part of the
|
|
.Ev DISPLAY
|
|
environment variable to
|
|
.Cm localhost .
|
|
This prevents remote hosts from connecting to the proxy display.
|
|
However, some older X11 clients may not function with this
|
|
configuration.
|
|
.Cm X11UseLocalhost
|
|
may be set to
|
|
.Cm no
|
|
to specify that the forwarding server should be bound to the wildcard
|
|
address.
|
|
The argument must be
|
|
.Cm yes
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm no .
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Cm yes .
|
|
.It Cm XAuthLocation
|
|
Specifies the full pathname of the
|
|
.Xr xauth 1
|
|
program, or
|
|
.Cm none
|
|
to not use one.
|
