.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
(Secure Shell) is a program for logging into a remote machine and for
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
executing commands on a remote machine.
|
|
|
|
It is intended to replace
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
rlogin and rsh, and provide secure encrypted communications between
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
two untrusted hosts over an insecure network.
|
|
|
|
X11 connections and
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
arbitrary TCP/IP ports can also be forwarded over the secure channel.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
2000-03-10 11:48:49 +00:00
|
|
|
connects and logs into the specified
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.Ar hostname .
|
|
|
|
The user must prove
|
2000-05-15 05:24:25 +00:00
|
|
|
his/her identity to the remote machine using one of several methods
|
|
|
|
depending on the protocol version used:
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
.Ss SSH protocol version 1
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
First, if the machine the user logs in from is listed in
|
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/hosts.equiv
|
|
|
|
or
|
2000-03-08 03:44:00 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/shosts.equiv
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
on the remote machine, and the user names are
|
|
|
|
the same on both sides, the user is immediately permitted to log in.
|
2000-03-10 11:48:49 +00:00
|
|
|
Second, if
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pa \&.rhosts
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
.Pa \&.shosts
|
|
|
|
exists in the user's home directory on the
|
|
|
|
remote machine and contains a line containing the name of the client
|
|
|
|
machine and the name of the user on that machine, the user is
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
permitted to log in.
|
|
|
|
This form of authentication alone is normally not
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
allowed by the server because it is not secure.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
The second (and primary) authentication method is the
|
|
|
|
.Pa rhosts
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
.Pa hosts.equiv
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
method combined with RSA-based host authentication.
|
|
|
|
It means that if the login would be permitted by
|
2000-05-15 05:24:25 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pa $HOME/.rhosts ,
|
|
|
|
.Pa $HOME/.shosts ,
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/hosts.equiv ,
|
|
|
|
or
|
2000-03-08 03:44:00 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/shosts.equiv ,
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
and if additionally the server can verify the client's
|
2000-03-10 11:48:49 +00:00
|
|
|
host key (see
|
2000-03-08 03:44:00 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.Pa $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts
|
|
|
|
in the
|
|
|
|
.Sx FILES
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
section), only then login is permitted.
|
|
|
|
This authentication method closes security holes due to IP
|
|
|
|
spoofing, DNS spoofing and routing spoofing.
|
|
|
|
[Note to the administrator:
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/hosts.equiv ,
|
2000-05-15 05:24:25 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pa $HOME/.rhosts ,
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
and the rlogin/rsh protocol in general, are inherently insecure and should be
|
|
|
|
disabled if security is desired.]
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
2000-03-10 11:48:49 +00:00
|
|
|
As a third authentication method,
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
supports RSA based authentication.
|
|
|
|
The scheme is based on public-key cryptography: there are cryptosystems
|
|
|
|
where encryption and decryption are done using separate keys, and it
|
|
|
|
is not possible to derive the decryption key from the encryption key.
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
RSA is one such system.
|
2000-05-15 05:24:25 +00:00
|
|
|
The idea is that each user creates a public/private
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
key pair for authentication purposes.
|
|
|
|
The server knows the public key, and only the user knows the private key.
|
2000-05-15 05:24:25 +00:00
|
|
|
The file
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pa $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
|
|
|
|
lists the public keys that are permitted for logging
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
in.
|
|
|
|
When the user logs in, the
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
program tells the server which key pair it would like to use for
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
authentication.
|
|
|
|
The server checks if this key is permitted, and if
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
so, sends the user (actually the
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
program running on behalf of the user) a challenge, a random number,
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
encrypted by the user's public key.
|
|
|
|
The challenge can only be
|
|
|
|
decrypted using the proper private key.
|
|
|
|
The user's client then decrypts the
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
challenge using the private key, proving that he/she knows the private
|
|
|
|
key but without disclosing it to the server.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
implements the RSA authentication protocol automatically.
|
|
|
|
The user creates his/her RSA key pair by running
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.Xr ssh-keygen 1 .
|
2000-03-10 11:48:49 +00:00
|
|
|
This stores the private key in
|
2000-05-15 05:24:25 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pa $HOME/.ssh/identity
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
and the public key in
|
2000-05-15 05:24:25 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pa $HOME/.ssh/identity.pub
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
in the user's home directory.
|
|
|
|
The user should then copy the
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pa identity.pub
|
2000-03-10 11:48:49 +00:00
|
|
|
to
|
2000-05-15 05:24:25 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pa $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
|
2000-03-10 11:48:49 +00:00
|
|
|
in his/her home directory on the remote machine (the
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pa authorized_keys
|
2000-03-10 11:48:49 +00:00
|
|
|
file corresponds to the conventional
|
2000-05-15 05:24:25 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pa $HOME/.rhosts
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
file, and has one key
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
per line, though the lines can be very long).
|
|
|
|
After this, the user can log in without giving the password.
|
|
|
|
RSA authentication is much
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
more secure than rhosts authentication.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
The most convenient way to use RSA authentication may be with an
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
authentication agent.
|
|
|
|
See
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.Xr ssh-agent 1
|
|
|
|
for more information.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
2000-03-10 11:48:49 +00:00
|
|
|
If other authentication methods fail,
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.Nm
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
prompts the user for a password.
|
|
|
|
The password is sent to the remote
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
host for checking; however, since all communications are encrypted,
|
|
|
|
the password cannot be seen by someone listening on the network.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
2000-05-15 05:24:25 +00:00
|
|
|
.Ss SSH protocol version 2
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
When a user connects using the protocol version 2
|
|
|
|
different authentication methods are available:
|
|
|
|
At first, the client attempts to authenticate using the public key method.
|
|
|
|
If this method fails password authentication is tried.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
The public key method is similar to RSA authentication described
|
|
|
|
in the previous section except that the DSA algorithm is used
|
|
|
|
instead of the patented RSA algorithm.
|
|
|
|
The client uses his private DSA key
|
|
|
|
.Pa $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa
|
|
|
|
to sign the session identifier and sends the result to the server.
|
|
|
|
The server checks whether the matching public key is listed in
|
|
|
|
.Pa $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys2
|
|
|
|
and grants access if both the key is found and the signature is correct.
|
|
|
|
The session identifier is derived from a shared Diffie-Hellman value
|
|
|
|
and is only known to the client and the server.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
If public key authentication fails or is not available a password
|
|
|
|
can be sent encrypted to the remote host for proving the user's identity.
|
|
|
|
This protocol 2 implementation does not yet support Kerberos or
|
2000-05-15 06:11:30 +00:00
|
|
|
OPIE authentication.
|
2000-05-15 05:24:25 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
Protocol 2 provides additional mechanisms for confidentiality
|
|
|
|
(the traffic is encrypted using 3DES, Blowfish, CAST128 or Arcfour)
|
|
|
|
and integrity (hmac-sha1, hmac-md5).
|
|
|
|
Note that protocol 1 lacks a strong mechanism for ensuring the
|
|
|
|
integrity of the connection.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
.Ss Login session and remote execution
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
When the user's identity has been accepted by the server, the server
|
|
|
|
either executes the given command, or logs into the machine and gives
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
the user a normal shell on the remote machine.
|
|
|
|
All communication with
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
the remote command or shell will be automatically encrypted.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
If a pseudo-terminal has been allocated (normal login session), the
|
|
|
|
user can disconnect with
|
|
|
|
.Ic ~. ,
|
|
|
|
and suspend
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
with
|
|
|
|
.Ic ~^Z .
|
|
|
|
All forwarded connections can be listed with
|
2000-03-10 11:48:49 +00:00
|
|
|
.Ic ~#
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
and if
|
|
|
|
the session blocks waiting for forwarded X11 or TCP/IP
|
|
|
|
connections to terminate, it can be backgrounded with
|
|
|
|
.Ic ~&
|
|
|
|
(this should not be used while the user shell is active, as it can cause the
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
shell to hang).
|
|
|
|
All available escapes can be listed with
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.Ic ~? .
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
A single tilde character can be sent as
|
|
|
|
.Ic ~~
|
|
|
|
(or by following the tilde by a character other than those described above).
|
|
|
|
The escape character must always follow a newline to be interpreted as
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
special.
|
|
|
|
The escape character can be changed in configuration files

If no pseudo tty has been allocated, the

session is transparent and can be used to reliably transfer binary
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
data.
|
|
|
|
On most systems, setting the escape character to
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.Dq none
|
|
|
|
will also make the session transparent even if a tty is used.

The session terminates when the command or shell in on the remote
|
|
|
|
machine exists and all X11 and TCP/IP connections have been closed.

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

The real authentication cookie is never

sent to the server machine (and no cookies are sent in the plain).

If the user is using an authentication agent, the connection to the agent

Forwarding of arbitrary TCP/IP connections over the secure channel can

A common trick is to use this to run X11 programs on a remote machine.

|
|
|
.Ic ssh -n shadows.cs.hut.fi emacs &
|
|
|
|
will start an emacs on shadows.cs.hut.fi, and the X11
|
|
|
|
connection will be automatically forwarded over an encrypted channel.
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
program will be put in the background.
|
|
|
|
(This does not work if
|
|
|

Compression is desirable on modem lines and other
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00

slow connections, but will only slow down things on fast networks.
|

|
forwarded to the given host and port on the remote side.
|
|

|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.Ar port

IPv6 addresses can be specified with an alternative syntax:
|
|
|
|
.Ar port/host/hostport
|
|
|
|
.It Fl R Ar port:host:hostport
|
|
|
|
Specifies that the given port on the remote (server) host is to be
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
forwarded to the given host and port on the local side.
|
|
|
|
This works by allocating a socket to listen to
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.Ar port
|
|
|
|
on the remote side, and whenever a connection is made to this port, the
|
|
|
|
connection is forwarded over the secure channel, and a connection is
|
|
|
|
made to
|
|
|
|
.Ar host
|
|
|
|
port
|
|
|
|
.Ar hostport
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
from the local machine.
|
|
|
|
Port forwardings can also be specified in the configuration file.
|
|
|
|
Privileged ports can be forwarded only when
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
logging in as root on the remote machine.

|
|
|
|
command line options, user's configuration file
|
|
|

|
|
|
.Pq Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_config .
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
For each parameter, the first obtained value
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
will be used.
|
|
|
|
The configuration files contain sections bracketed by
|
|
|
|
.Dq Host
|
|
|
|
specifications, and that section is only applied for hosts that
|
|
|
|
match one of the patterns given in the specification.
|
|
|
|
The matched host name is the one given on the command line.
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
Since the first obtained value for each parameter is used, more
|
|
|
|
host-specific declarations should be given near the beginning of the
|
|
|
|
file, and general defaults at the end.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
The configuration file has the following format:
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
Empty lines and lines starting with
|
|
|
|
.Ql #
|
|
|
|
are comments.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
Otherwise a line is of the format
|
|
|
|
.Dq keyword arguments .
|
|
|
|
The possible
|
|
|
|
keywords and their meanings are as follows (note that the
|

|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
|
|
.It Cm Host
|
|
|
|
Restricts the following declarations (up to the next

|
|
|
If they are sent, death of the connection or crash of one
|
|
|
|
of the machines will be properly noticed.
|
|
|
|
However, this means that
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
connections will die if the route is down temporarily, and some people
|
2000-03-10 11:48:49 +00:00

.Dq 1
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.Dq 2 .
|
|
|
|
Multiple versions must be comma-separated.
|
|
|
|
The default is
|
|
|
|
.Dq 1,2 .
|
|
|
|
This means that
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
tries version 1 and falls back to version 2
|
|
|
|
if version 1 is not available.
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00

|
.Pa /bin/sh .
|
|
|
|
In the command string,
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
.Ql %h
|
2000-03-10 11:48:49 +00:00
|
|
|
will be substituted by the host name to
|
|
|
|
connect and
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
.Ql %p
|
|
|
|
by the port.
|
|
|
|
The command can be basically anything,
|
|
|
|
and should read from its standard input and write to its standard output.
|
|
|
|
It should eventually connect an
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
|
|
server running on some machine, or execute
|
|
|
|
.Ic sshd -i
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
somewhere.
|
|
|
|
Host key management will be done using the
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
HostName of the host being connected (defaulting to the name typed by
|
|
|
|
the user).
|
|
|
|
Note that
|
|
|
|
.Cm CheckHostIP
|
|
|

|
|
.It Cm RemoteForward
|
|
|
|
Specifies that a TCP/IP port on the remote machine be forwarded over
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
the secure channel to given host:port from the local machine.
|
|
|
|
The first argument must be a port number, and the second must be
|
|
|
|
host:port.
|
|
|
|
Multiple forwardings may be specified, and additional
|
|
|
|
forwardings can be given on the command line.
|

|
|
|
|
Note that this
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
declaration only affects the client side and has no effect whatsoever
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
on security.
|
|
|
|
Disabling rhosts authentication may reduce
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
authentication time on slow connections when rhosts authentication is
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
not used.
|
|
|
|
Most servers do not permit RhostsAuthentication because it
|
|
|
|
is not secure (see RhostsRSAAuthentication).
|

or
|
|
|
|
.Dq no .
|
|
|
|
RSA authentication will only be
|
|
|
|
attempted if the identity file exists, or an authentication agent is
|
|
|
|
running.
|
2000-05-15 05:24:25 +00:00
|
|
|
Note that this option applies to protocol version 1 only.

|
|
|
|
files, and refuses to connect hosts whose host key has changed.
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
This provides maximum protection against trojan horse attacks.
|
|
|
|
However, it can be somewhat annoying if you don't have good

|
|
connect new hosts.
|
|
|
|
Basically this option forces the user to manually
|
|
|
|
add any new hosts.
|
|
|
|
Normally this option is disabled, and new hosts
|
|
|
|
will automatically be added to the known host files.

.It Cm User
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
Specifies the user to log in as.
|
|
|
|
This can be useful if you have a different user name on different machines.
|
|
|
|
This saves the trouble of
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
having to remember to give the user name on the command line.
|
|
|

2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
the host where the shell runs, and n is an integer \*(>= 1.
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
uses this special value to forward X11 connections over the secure
|
|
|
|
channel.
|
|
|
|
The user should normally not set DISPLAY explicitly, as that
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
will render the X11 connection insecure (and will require the user to
|
|
|
|
manually copy any required authorization cookies).
|
|
|
|
.It Ev HOME
|
|
|
|
Set to the path of the user's home directory.

This file contains

2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
public keys, one per line, in the following format (fields separated

by spaces): system name, number of bits in modulus, public exponent,
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|

modulus, and optional comment field.
|

|
|
When different names are used
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
for the same machine, all such names should be listed, separated by
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|

commas.

The canonical system name (as returned by name servers) is used by
|
|
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
|
|
to verify the client host when logging in; other names are needed because
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
does not convert the user-supplied name to a canonical name before
|
|
|
|
checking the key, because someone with access to the name servers
|
|
|
|
would then be able to fool host authentication.

authentication to list the

|
|
(Note that this file is
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
also used by rlogin and rsh, which makes using this file insecure.)
|
|
|

Each line of the file contains a host name (in the canonical form
|

returned by name servers), and then a user name on that host,

2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00

separated by a space.

world-readable if the user's home directory is on a NFS partition,

because
|
|
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
reads it as root.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, this file must be owned by the user,
|
|
|
|
and must not have write permissions for anyone else.
|
|
|
|
The recommended
|
2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
permission for most machines is read/write for the user, and not
|
|
|

accessible by others.

|
|
|
|
Note that by default
|
|
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
|
|
will be installed so that it requires successful RSA host
|
2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00
|
|
|
authentication before permitting \s+2.\s0rhosts authentication.

you can store it in

|
.Pa $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts .
|
|
|

The easiest way to do this is to
|
|
|
|
connect back to the client from the server machine using ssh; this
|
2000-05-15 05:24:25 +00:00

OpenSSH

is a derivative of the original (free) ssh 1.2.12 release by Tatu Ylonen,

2000-03-26 07:37:48 +00:00

but with bugs removed and newer features re-added.

Rapidly after the

2000-02-24 14:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
1.2.12 release, newer versions of the original ssh bore successively
|
|
|
|
more restrictive licenses, and thus demand for a free version was born.
