|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.Xr ssh 1 .
|
2008-07-23 09:23:42 +00:00
|
|
|
Together these programs replace
|
|
|
|
.Xr rlogin 1
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.Xr rsh 1 ,
|
|
|
|
and provide secure encrypted communications between two untrusted hosts
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
over an insecure network.

listens for connections from clients.
|
2002-03-18 10:09:43 +00:00
|
|
|
It is normally started at boot from
|
2002-06-29 10:53:57 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.d/sshd .
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
It forks a new
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
daemon for each incoming connection.
|
|
|
|
The forked daemons handle
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
key exchange, encryption, authentication, command execution,
|
|
|
|
and data exchange.

|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
.Nm

|
|
|
|
(by default
|
2006-03-22 20:41:37 +00:00
|
|
|
.Xr sshd_config 5 ) ;
|
|
|
|
command-line options override values specified in the
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|

|
|
|
If provided, any
|
|
|
|
.Cm Match
|
|
|
|
directives in the configuration file
|
|
|
|
that would apply to the specified user, host, and address will be set before
|
|
|
|
the configuration is written to standard output.
|
|
|
|
The connection parameters are supplied as keyword=value pairs.
|
|
|
|
The keywords are
|
|

|
Specifies a path to a certificate file to identify
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
during key exchange.
|
|
|
|
The certificate file must match a host key file specified using the
|
|
|
|
.Fl h
|
|
|
|
option or the
|
|
|
|
.Cm HostKey
|
|
|
|
configuration directive.
|
2004-02-26 10:52:33 +00:00
|
|
|
.It Fl D
|
|
|
|
When this option is specified,
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
will not detach and does not become a daemon.
|
|
|
|
This allows easy monitoring of
|
|
|
|
.Nm sshd .
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.It Fl d
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
Debug mode.
|
2010-03-08 11:19:52 +00:00
|
|
|
The server sends verbose debug output to standard error,
|
|
|
|
and does not put itself in the background.
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
The server also will not fork and will only process one connection.
|
|
|
|
This option is only intended for debugging for the server.
|
2003-04-23 17:13:13 +00:00
|
|
|
Multiple
|
|
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
|
|
options increase the debugging level.
|
2000-12-05 02:55:12 +00:00
|
|
|
Maximum is 3.
|
2013-09-18 17:27:38 +00:00
|
|
|
.It Fl E Ar log_file
|
|
|
|
Append debug logs to
|
|
|
|
.Ar log_file
|
|
|
|
instead of the system log.
|
2001-05-04 04:14:23 +00:00
|
|
|
.It Fl e
|
2013-09-18 17:27:38 +00:00

|
|
Write debug logs to standard error instead of the system log.
|
2008-07-23 09:23:42 +00:00
|
|
|
.It Fl f Ar config_file
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
Specifies the name of the configuration file.
|
|
|
|
The default is
|
2000-03-08 03:44:00 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/sshd_config .
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
refuses to start if there is no configuration file.
|
|
|
|
.It Fl g Ar login_grace_time
|
|
|
|
Gives the grace time for clients to authenticate themselves (default
|
2002-10-29 10:16:02 +00:00
|
|
|
120 seconds).
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
If the client fails to authenticate the user within
|
|
|
|
this many seconds, the server disconnects and exits.
|
|
|
|
A value of zero indicates no limit.
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.It Fl h Ar host_key_file
|
2002-03-18 10:09:43 +00:00
|
|
|
Specifies a file from which a host key is read.
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
This option must be given if
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
is not run as root (as the normal
|
2002-03-18 10:09:43 +00:00
|
|
|
host key files are normally not readable by anyone but root).
|
|
|
|
The default is
|
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
|
|
|
|
for protocol version 1, and
|
2011-02-17 11:47:40 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key ,
|
2014-01-30 10:56:49 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key .
|
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key
|
2008-07-22 18:58:19 +00:00
|
|
|
and
|
2011-02-17 11:47:40 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
|
2002-03-18 10:09:43 +00:00
|
|
|
for protocol version 2.
|
2001-05-04 04:14:23 +00:00
|
|
|
It is possible to have multiple host key files for
|
|
|
|
the different protocol versions and host key algorithms.
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.It Fl i
|
|
|
|
Specifies that
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
2003-04-23 17:13:13 +00:00
|
|
|
is being run from
|
|
|
|
.Xr inetd 8 .
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
is normally not run
|
|
|
|
from inetd because it needs to generate the server key before it can
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
respond to the client, and this may take tens of seconds.
|
|
|
|
Clients would have to wait too long if the key was regenerated every time.
|
2006-09-30 13:38:06 +00:00
|
|
|
However, with small key sizes (e.g. 512) using
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
from inetd may
|
|
|
|
be feasible.
|
|
|
|
.It Fl k Ar key_gen_time
|
2001-05-04 04:14:23 +00:00
|
|
|
Specifies how often the ephemeral protocol version 1 server key is
|
|
|
|
regenerated (default 3600 seconds, or one hour).
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
The motivation for regenerating the key fairly
|
2004-02-26 10:52:33 +00:00
|
|
|
often is that the key is not stored anywhere, and after about an hour
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
it becomes impossible to recover the key for decrypting intercepted
|
|
|
|
communications even if the machine is cracked into or physically
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
seized.
|
|
|
|
A value of zero indicates that the key will never be regenerated.
|
2002-03-18 10:09:43 +00:00
|
|
|
.It Fl o Ar option
|
|
|
|
Can be used to give options in the format used in the configuration file.
|
|
|
|
This is useful for specifying options for which there is no separate
|
|
|
|
command-line flag.
|
2004-02-26 10:52:33 +00:00
|
|
|
For full details of the options, and their values, see
|
|
|
|
.Xr sshd_config 5 .
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.It Fl p Ar port
|
|
|
|
Specifies the port on which the server listens for connections
|
|
|
|
(default 22).
|
2002-03-18 10:09:43 +00:00
|
|
|
Multiple port options are permitted.
|
2006-03-22 20:41:37 +00:00
|
|
|
Ports specified in the configuration file with the
|
|
|
|
.Cm Port
|
|
|
|
option are ignored when a command-line port is specified.
|
|
|
|
Ports specified using the
|
|
|
|
.Cm ListenAddress
|
|
|
|
option override command-line ports.
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.It Fl q
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
Quiet mode.
|
|
|
|
Nothing is sent to the system log.
|
|
|
|
Normally the beginning,
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
authentication, and termination of each connection is logged.
|
2008-07-23 09:33:08 +00:00
|
|
|
.It Fl T
|
|
|
|
Extended test mode.
|
|
|
|
Check the validity of the configuration file, output the effective configuration
|
|
|
|
to stdout and then exit.
|
|
|
|
Optionally,
|
|
|
|
.Cm Match
|
|
|
|
rules may be applied by specifying the connection parameters using one or more
|
|
|
|
.Fl C
|
|
|
|
options.
|
2002-03-18 10:09:43 +00:00
|
|
|
.It Fl t
|
|
|
|
Test mode.
|
|
|
|
Only check the validity of the configuration file and sanity of the keys.
|
|
|
|
This is useful for updating
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
reliably as configuration options may change.
|
2000-09-10 09:35:38 +00:00
|
|
|
.It Fl u Ar len
|
|
|
|
This option is used to specify the size of the field
|
|
|
|
in the
|
|
|
|
.Li utmp
|
|
|
|
structure that holds the remote host name.

.Sh AUTHENTICATION
|
|
|
|
The OpenSSH SSH daemon supports SSH protocols 1 and 2.
|
2010-03-08 11:19:52 +00:00
|
|
|
The default is to use protocol 2 only,
|
2006-03-22 20:41:37 +00:00
|
|
|
though this can be changed via the
|
|
|
|
.Cm Protocol
|
|
|
|
option in
|
2002-06-23 21:42:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.Xr sshd_config 5 .
|
2014-01-30 10:56:49 +00:00
|
|
|
Protocol 2 supports DSA, ECDSA, ED25519 and RSA keys;
|
2006-03-22 20:41:37 +00:00
|
|
|
protocol 1 only supports RSA keys.
|
|
|
|
For both protocols,
|
|
|
|
each host has a host-specific key,
|
|
|
|
normally 2048 bits,
|
|
|
|
used to identify the host.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
Forward security for protocol 1 is provided through
|
|
|
|
an additional server key,
|
|
|
|
normally 768 bits,
|
|
|
|
generated when the server starts.
|
|
|
|
This key is normally regenerated every hour if it has been used, and
|
|
|
|
is never stored on disk.
|
|
|
|
Whenever a client connects, the daemon responds with its public
|
|
|
|
host and server keys.
|
|
|
|
The client compares the
|
|
|
|
RSA host key against its own database to verify that it has not changed.
|
|
|
|
The client then generates a 256-bit random number.
|
|
|
|
It encrypts this
|
|
|
|
random number using both the host key and the server key, and sends
|
|
|
|
the encrypted number to the server.
|
|
|
|
Both sides then use this
|
|
|
|
random number as a session key which is used to encrypt all further
|
|
|
|
communications in the session.
|
|
|
|
The rest of the session is encrypted
|
|
|
|
using a conventional cipher, currently Blowfish or 3DES, with 3DES
|
|
|
|
being used by default.
|
|
|
|
The client selects the encryption algorithm
|
|
|
|
to use from those offered by the server.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
For protocol 2,
|
|
|
|
forward security is provided through a Diffie-Hellman key agreement.
|
|
|
|
This key agreement results in a shared session key.
|
|
|
|
The rest of the session is encrypted using a symmetric cipher, currently
|
|
|
|
128-bit AES, Blowfish, 3DES, CAST128, Arcfour, 192-bit AES, or 256-bit AES.
|
|
|
|
The client selects the encryption algorithm
|
|
|
|
to use from those offered by the server.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, session integrity is provided
|
|
|
|
through a cryptographic message authentication code
|
2013-03-22 11:19:48 +00:00
|
|
|
(hmac-md5, hmac-sha1, umac-64, umac-128, hmac-ripemd160,
|
2011-09-28 08:14:41 +00:00
|
|
|
hmac-sha2-256 or hmac-sha2-512).
|
2006-03-22 20:41:37 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
Finally, the server and the client enter an authentication dialog.
|
|
|
|
The client tries to authenticate itself using
|
|
|
|
host-based authentication,
|
|
|
|
public key authentication,
|
|
|
|
challenge-response authentication,
|
|
|
|
or password authentication.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
Regardless of the authentication type, the account is checked to
|
|
|
|
ensure that it is accessible. An account is not accessible if it is
|
|
|
|
locked, listed in
|
|
|
|
.Cm DenyUsers
|
|
|
|
or its group is listed in
|
|
|
|
.Cm DenyGroups
|
|
|
|
\&. The definition of a locked account is system dependant. Some platforms
|
|
|
|
have their own account database (eg AIX) and some modify the passwd field (
|
|
|
|
.Ql \&*LK\&*
|
|
|
|
on Solaris and UnixWare,
|
|
|
|
.Ql \&*
|
|
|
|
on HP-UX, containing
|
|
|
|
.Ql Nologin
|
|
|
|
on Tru64,
|
|
|
|
a leading
|
|
|
|
.Ql \&*LOCKED\&*
|
|
|
|
on FreeBSD and a leading
|
2008-07-23 09:23:42 +00:00
|
|
|
.Ql \&!
|
|
|
|
on most Linuxes).
|
|
|
|
If there is a requirement to disable password authentication
|
2006-03-22 20:41:37 +00:00
|
|
|
for the account while allowing still public-key, then the passwd field
|
|
|
|
should be set to something other than these values (eg
|
|
|
|
.Ql NP
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
.Ql \&*NP\&*
|
|
|
|
).
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
If the client successfully authenticates itself, a dialog for
|
|
|
|
preparing the session is entered.
|
|
|
|
At this time the client may request
|
|
|
|
things like allocating a pseudo-tty, forwarding X11 connections,
|
|
|
|
forwarding TCP connections, or forwarding the authentication agent
|
|
|
|
connection over the secure channel.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
2006-09-30 13:38:06 +00:00
|
|
|
After this, the client either requests a shell or execution of a command.
|
2006-03-22 20:41:37 +00:00
|
|
|
The sides then enter session mode.
|
|
|
|
In this mode, either side may send
|
|
|
|
data at any time, and such data is forwarded to/from the shell or
|
|
|
|
command on the server side, and the user terminal in the client side.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
When the user program terminates and all forwarded X11 and other
|
|
|
|
connections have been closed, the server sends command exit status to
|
|
|
|
the client, and both sides exit.

restrictive union of the two is applied.
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.It Cm command="command"
|
|
|
|
Specifies that the command is executed whenever this key is used for
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
authentication.
|
|
|
|
The command supplied by the user (if any) is ignored.
|
2002-03-18 10:09:43 +00:00
|
|
|
The command is run on a pty if the client requests a pty;
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
otherwise it is run without a tty.
|
2003-04-23 17:13:13 +00:00
|
|
|
If an 8-bit clean channel is required,
|
2002-03-18 10:09:43 +00:00
|
|
|
one must not request a pty or should specify
|
2001-05-04 04:14:23 +00:00
|
|
|
.Cm no-pty .
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
A quote may be included in the command by quoting it with a backslash.
|
|
|
|
This option might be useful
|
2002-10-29 10:16:02 +00:00
|
|
|
to restrict certain public keys to perform just a specific operation.
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
An example might be a key that permits remote backups but nothing else.
|
2006-03-22 20:41:37 +00:00
|
|
|
Note that the client may specify TCP and/or X11
|
2000-05-15 05:24:25 +00:00
|
|
|
forwarding unless they are explicitly prohibited.
|
2006-09-30 13:38:06 +00:00
|
|
|
The command originally supplied by the client is available in the
|
|
|
|
.Ev SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND
|
|
|
|
environment variable.
|
2002-03-18 10:09:43 +00:00

Note that this option applies to shell, command or subsystem execution.
|
2010-03-08 11:19:52 +00:00

|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|

|
|
|
logging in using this key.
|
|

2008-07-23 09:33:08 +00:00
|
|
|
Specifies that in addition to public key authentication, either the canonical
|
|
|
|
name of the remote host or its IP address must be present in the
|
|
|
|
comma-separated list of patterns.
|

|
.Cm from
|
2009-10-01 15:19:37 +00:00

|
2008-07-23 09:33:08 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this option is to optionally increase security: public key
|
|
|
|
authentication by itself does not trust the network or name servers or
|
|
|
|
anything (but the key); however, if somebody somehow steals the key, the key
|
|
|
|
permits an intruder to log in from anywhere in the world.
|
|
|
|
This additional option makes using a stolen key more difficult (name
|
|
|
|
servers and/or routers would have to be compromised in addition to
|
|
|
|
just the key).
|
2006-09-30 13:38:06 +00:00
|

|
|
|
.It Cm no-port-forwarding
|
2006-03-22 20:41:37 +00:00
|
|
|
Forbids TCP forwarding when this key is used for authentication.
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
Any port forward requests by the client will return an error.
|
2006-09-30 13:38:06 +00:00
|
|
|
This might be used, e.g. in connection with the

The global file should

be prepared by the administrator (optional), and the per-user file is
|

maintained automatically: whenever the user connects from an unknown host,

its key is added to the per-user file.

Each line in these files contains the following fields: markers (optional),

hostnames, bits, exponent, modulus, comment.

2010-03-08 11:19:52 +00:00

The marker is optional, but if it is present then it must be one of
|
|
|
|
.Dq @cert-authority ,

Only one marker should be used on a key line.
|

.Pp
|
2004-01-07 11:16:27 +00:00

Hostnames is a comma-separated list of patterns

act as

2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00

wildcards); each pattern in turn is matched against the canonical host
|
|
|
|
name (when authenticating a client) or against the user-supplied
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
name (when authenticating a server).
|
|
|
|
A pattern may also be preceded by
|
2004-01-07 11:16:27 +00:00
|
|
|
.Ql \&!
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
to indicate negation: if the host name matches a negated
|
|
|
|
pattern, it is not accepted (by that line) even if it matched another
|
|
|
|
pattern on the line.
|
2006-09-30 13:38:06 +00:00
|

A hostname or address may optionally be enclosed within
|
|
|

.Ql \&[
|

.Ql \&]
|

.Pp
|
2005-06-05 15:46:09 +00:00
|
|
|
Alternately, hostnames may be stored in a hashed form which hides host names
|
|
|
|
and addresses should the file's contents be disclosed.
|
|
|
|
Hashed hostnames start with a
|
|
|
|
.Ql |
|
|
|
|
character.
|
|
|
|
Only one hashed hostname may appear on a single line and none of the above
|

negation or wildcard operators may be applied.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
2000-05-15 05:24:25 +00:00
|

|
Bits, exponent, and modulus are taken directly from the RSA host key; they
|
2006-09-30 13:38:06 +00:00
|
|
|
can be obtained, for example, from
|
2000-03-08 03:44:00 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.pub .
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00

The optional comment field continues to the end of the line, and is not used.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
Lines starting with
|
|
|
|
.Ql #
|
|
|
|
and empty lines are ignored as comments.

|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
When performing host authentication, authentication is accepted if any
|
2010-03-08 11:19:52 +00:00
|
|
|
matching line has the proper key; either one that matches exactly or,
|
|
|
|
if the server has presented a certificate for authentication, the key
|
|
|
|
of the certification authority that signed the certificate.
|
|
|
|
For a key to be trusted as a certification authority, it must use the
|
|
|
|
.Dq @cert-authority
|
|
|
|
marker described above.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
The known hosts file also provides a facility to mark keys as revoked,
|
|
|
|
for example when it is known that the associated private key has been
|
|
|
|
stolen.
|
|
|
|
Revoked keys are specified by including the
|
|
|
|
.Dq @revoked
|
|
|
|
marker at the beginning of the key line, and are never accepted for
|
|
|
|
authentication or as certification authorities, but instead will
|
|
|
|
produce a warning from
|
|
|
|
.Xr ssh 1
|
|
|
|
when they are encountered.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
It is permissible (but not
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
recommended) to have several lines or different host keys for the same
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
names.
|
|
|
|
This will inevitably happen when short forms of host names
|
|
|
|
from different domains are put in the file.
|
|
|
|
It is possible
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
that the files contain conflicting information; authentication is
|
|
|
|
accepted if valid information can be found from either file.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
Note that the lines in these files are typically hundreds of characters
|
|
|
|
long, and you definitely don't want to type in the host keys by hand.
|
2010-03-08 11:19:52 +00:00
|
|
|
Rather, generate them by a script,
|
|
|
|
.Xr ssh-keyscan 1
|
2000-05-15 05:24:25 +00:00
|
|
|
or by taking
|
2000-03-08 03:44:00 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.pub
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00

and adding the host names at the front.
|
2010-03-08 11:19:52 +00:00
|
|
|
.Xr ssh-keygen 1
|
|

also offers some basic automated editing for

including removing hosts matching a host name and converting all host

On some machines this file may need to be
