.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
(SSH Daemon) is the daemon program for
|
|
.Xr ssh 1 .
|
|
Together these programs replace rlogin and rsh, and
|
|
provide secure encrypted communications between two untrusted hosts
|
|
over an insecure network.
|
|
The programs are intended to be as easy to
|
|
install and use as possible.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is the daemon that listens for connections from clients.
|
|
It is normally started at boot from
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.d/sshd .
|
|
It forks a new
|
|
daemon for each incoming connection.
|
|
The forked daemons handle
|
|
key exchange, encryption, authentication, command execution,
|
|
and data exchange.
|
|
This implementation of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
supports both SSH protocol version 1 and 2 simultaneously.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
works as follows:
|
|
.Ss SSH protocol version 1
|
|
Each host has a host-specific RSA key
|
|
(normally 1024 bits) used to identify the host.
|
|
Additionally, when
|
|
the daemon starts, it generates a server RSA key (normally 768 bits).
|
|
This key is normally regenerated every hour if it has been used, and
|
|
is never stored on disk.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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
|
|
Next, the server and the client enter an authentication dialog.
|
|
The client tries to authenticate itself using
|
|
.Em .rhosts
|
|
authentication,
|
|
.Em .rhosts
|
|
authentication combined with RSA host
|
|
authentication, RSA challenge-response authentication, or password
|
|
based 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,
|
|
.Ql \&*
|
|
on HP-UX, containing
|
|
.Ql Nologin
|
|
on Tru64 and a leading
|
|
.Ql \&!!
|
|
on Linux). If there is a requirement to disable password authentication
|
|
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
|
|
.Em rhosts
|
|
authentication is normally disabled
|
|
because it is fundamentally insecure, but can be enabled in the server
|
|
configuration file if desired.
|
|
System security is not improved unless
|
|
.Nm rshd ,
|
|
.Nm rlogind ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Nm rexecd
|
|
are disabled (thus completely disabling
|
|
.Xr rlogin
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr rsh
|
|
into the machine).
|
|
.Ss SSH protocol version 2
|
|
Version 2 works similarly:
|
|
Each host has a host-specific key (RSA or DSA) used to identify the host.
|
|
However, when the daemon starts, it does not generate a server key.
|
|
Forward security is provided through a Diffie-Hellman key agreement.
|
|
This key agreement results in a shared session key.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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
|
|
(hmac-sha1 or hmac-md5).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Protocol version 2 provides a public key based
|
|
user (PubkeyAuthentication) or
|
|
client host (HostbasedAuthentication) authentication method,
|
|
conventional password authentication and challenge response based methods.
|
|
.Ss Command execution and data forwarding
|
|
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/IP connections, or forwarding the authentication agent
|
|
connection over the secure channel.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Finally, the client either requests a shell or execution of a command.
|
|
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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
can be configured using command-line options or a configuration file
|
|
(by default
|
|
.Xr sshd_config 5 ) .
|
|
Command-line options override values specified in the
|
|
configuration file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
rereads its configuration file when it receives a hangup signal,
|
|
.Dv SIGHUP ,
|
|
by executing itself with the name it was started as, i.e.,
|
|
.Pa /usr/sbin/sshd .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl 4
|
|
Forces
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to use IPv4 addresses only.
|
|
.It Fl 6
|
|
Forces
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to use IPv6 addresses only.
|
|
.It Fl b Ar bits
|
|
Specifies the number of bits in the ephemeral protocol version 1
|
|
server key (default 768).
|
|
.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 .
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Debug mode.
|
|
The server sends verbose debug output to the system
|
|
log, and does not put itself in the background.
|
|
The server also will not fork and will only process one connection.
|
|
This option is only intended for debugging for the server.
|
|
Multiple
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
options increase the debugging level.
|
|
Maximum is 3.
|
|
.It Fl e
|
|
When this option is specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will send the output to the standard error instead of the system log.
|
|
.It Fl f Ar configuration_file
|
|
Specifies the name of the configuration file.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/sshd_config .
|
|
.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
|
|
120 seconds).
|
|
If the client fails to authenticate the user within
|
|
this many seconds, the server disconnects and exits.
|
|
A value of zero indicates no limit.
|
|
.It Fl h Ar host_key_file
|
|
Specifies a file from which a host key is read.
|
|
This option must be given if
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is not run as root (as the normal
|
|
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
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
|
|
for protocol version 2.
|
|
It is possible to have multiple host key files for
|
|
the different protocol versions and host key algorithms.
|
|
.It Fl i
|
|
Specifies that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is being run from
|
|
.Xr inetd 8 .
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is normally not run
|
|
from inetd because it needs to generate the server key before it can
|
|
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.
|
|
However, with small key sizes (e.g., 512) using
|
|
.Nm
|
|
from inetd may
|
|
be feasible.
|
|
.It Fl k Ar key_gen_time
|
|
Specifies how often the ephemeral protocol version 1 server key is
|
|
regenerated (default 3600 seconds, or one hour).
|
|
The motivation for regenerating the key fairly
|
|
often is that the key is not stored anywhere, and after about an hour
|
|
it becomes impossible to recover the key for decrypting intercepted
|
|
communications even if the machine is cracked into or physically
|
|
seized.
|
|
A value of zero indicates that the key will never be regenerated.
|
|
.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.
|
|
For full details of the options, and their values, see
|
|
.Xr sshd_config 5 .
|
|
.It Fl p Ar port
|
|
Specifies the port on which the server listens for connections
|
|
(default 22).
|
|
Multiple port options are permitted.
|
|
Ports specified in the configuration file are ignored when a
|
|
command-line port is specified.
|
|
.It Fl q
|
|
Quiet mode.
|
|
Nothing is sent to the system log.
|
|
Normally the beginning,
|
|
authentication, and termination of each connection is logged.
|
|
.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.
|
|
.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.
|
|
If the resolved host name is longer than
|
|
.Ar len ,
|
|
the dotted decimal value will be used instead.
|
|
This allows hosts with very long host names that
|
|
overflow this field to still be uniquely identified.
|
|
Specifying
|
|
.Fl u0
|
|
indicates that only dotted decimal addresses
|
|
should be put into the
|
|
.Pa utmp
|
|
file.
|
|
.Fl u0
|
|
may also be used to prevent
|
|
.Nm
|
|
from making DNS requests unless the authentication
|
|
mechanism or configuration requires it.
|
|
Authentication mechanisms that may require DNS include
|
|
.Cm RhostsRSAAuthentication ,
|
|
.Cm HostbasedAuthentication
|
|
and using a
|
|
.Cm from="pattern-list"
|
|
option in a key file.
|
|
Configuration options that require DNS include using a
|
|
USER@HOST pattern in
|
|
.Cm AllowUsers
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm DenyUsers .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh CONFIGURATION FILE
|
|
.Nm
|
|
reads configuration data from
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/sshd_config
|
|
(or the file specified with
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
on the command line).
|
|
The file format and configuration options are described in
|
|
.Xr sshd_config 5 .
|
|
.Sh LOGIN PROCESS
|
|
When a user successfully logs in,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
does the following:
|
|
.Bl -enum -offset indent
|
|
.It
|
|
If the login is on a tty, and no command has been specified,
|
|
prints last login time and
|
|
.Pa /etc/motd
|
|
(unless prevented in the configuration file or by
|
|
.Pa $HOME/.hushlogin ;
|
|
see the
|
|
.Sx FILES
|
|
section).
|
|
.It
|
|
If the login is on a tty, records login time.
|
|
.It
|
|
Checks
|
|
.Pa /etc/nologin and
|
|
.Pa /var/run/nologin ;
|
|
if one exists, it prints the contents and quits
|
|
(unless root).
|
|
.It
|
|
Changes to run with normal user privileges.
|
|
.It
|
|
Sets up basic environment.
|
|
.It
|
|
Reads the file
|
|
.Pa $HOME/.ssh/environment ,
|
|
if it exists, and users are allowed to change their environment.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Cm PermitUserEnvironment
|
|
option in
|
|
.Xr sshd_config 5 .
|
|
.It
|
|
Changes to user's home directory.
|
|
.It
|
|
If
|
|
.Pa $HOME/.ssh/rc
|
|
exists, runs it; else if
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/sshrc
|
|
exists, runs
|
|
it; otherwise runs
|
|
.Xr xauth 1 .
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq rc
|
|
files are given the X11
|
|
authentication protocol and cookie (if applicable) in standard input.
|
|
.It
|
|
Runs user's shell or command.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT
|
|
.Pa $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
|
|
is the default file that lists the public keys that are
|
|
permitted for RSA authentication in protocol version 1
|
|
and for public key authentication (PubkeyAuthentication)
|
|
in protocol version 2.
|
|
.Cm AuthorizedKeysFile
|
|
may be used to specify an alternative file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each line of the file contains one
|
|
key (empty lines and lines starting with a
|
|
.Ql #
|
|
are ignored as
|
|
comments).
|
|
Each RSA public key consists of the following fields, separated by
|
|
spaces: options, bits, exponent, modulus, comment.
|
|
Each protocol version 2 public key consists of:
|
|
options, keytype, base64 encoded key, comment.
|
|
The options field
|
|
is optional; its presence is determined by whether the line starts
|
|
with a number or not (the options field never starts with a number).
|
|
The bits, exponent, modulus and comment fields give the RSA key for
|
|
protocol version 1; the
|
|
comment field is not used for anything (but may be convenient for the
|
|
user to identify the key).
|
|
For protocol version 2 the keytype is
|
|
.Dq ssh-dss
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq ssh-rsa .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that lines in this file are usually several hundred bytes long
|
|
(because of the size of the public key encoding).
|
|
You don't want to type them in; instead, copy the
|
|
.Pa identity.pub ,
|
|
.Pa id_dsa.pub
|
|
or the
|
|
.Pa id_rsa.pub
|
|
file and edit it.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
enforces a minimum RSA key modulus size for protocol 1
|
|
and protocol 2 keys of 768 bits.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options (if present) consist of comma-separated option
|
|
specifications.
|
|
No spaces are permitted, except within double quotes.
|
|
The following option specifications are supported (note
|
|
that option keywords are case-insensitive):
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Cm from="pattern-list"
|
|
Specifies that in addition to public key authentication, the canonical name
|
|
of the remote host must be present in the comma-separated list of
|
|
patterns
|
|
.Pf ( Ql \&*
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql \&?
|
|
serve as wildcards).
|
|
The list may also contain
|
|
patterns negated by prefixing them with
|
|
.Ql \&! ;
|
|
if the canonical host name matches a negated pattern, the key is not accepted.
|
|
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).
|
|
.It Cm command="command"
|
|
Specifies that the command is executed whenever this key is used for
|
|
authentication.
|
|
The command supplied by the user (if any) is ignored.
|
|
The command is run on a pty if the client requests a pty;
|
|
otherwise it is run without a tty.
|
|
If an 8-bit clean channel is required,
|
|
one must not request a pty or should specify
|
|
.Cm no-pty .
|
|
A quote may be included in the command by quoting it with a backslash.
|
|
This option might be useful
|
|
to restrict certain public keys to perform just a specific operation.
|
|
An example might be a key that permits remote backups but nothing else.
|
|
Note that the client may specify TCP/IP and/or X11
|
|
forwarding unless they are explicitly prohibited.
|
|
Note that this option applies to shell, command or subsystem execution.
|
|
.It Cm environment="NAME=value"
|
|
Specifies that the string is to be added to the environment when
|
|
logging in using this key.
|
|
Environment variables set this way
|
|
override other default environment values.
|
|
Multiple options of this type are permitted.
|
|
Environment processing is disabled by default and is
|
|
controlled via the
|
|
.Cm PermitUserEnvironment
|
|
option.
|
|
This option is automatically disabled if
|
|
.Cm UseLogin
|
|
is enabled.
|
|
.It Cm no-port-forwarding
|
|
Forbids TCP/IP forwarding when this key is used for authentication.
|
|
Any port forward requests by the client will return an error.
|
|
This might be used, e.g., in connection with the
|
|
.Cm command
|
|
option.
|
|
.It Cm no-X11-forwarding
|
|
Forbids X11 forwarding when this key is used for authentication.
|
|
Any X11 forward requests by the client will return an error.
|
|
.It Cm no-agent-forwarding
|
|
Forbids authentication agent forwarding when this key is used for
|
|
authentication.
|
|
.It Cm no-pty
|
|
Prevents tty allocation (a request to allocate a pty will fail).
|
|
.It Cm permitopen="host:port"
|
|
Limit local
|
|
.Li ``ssh -L''
|
|
port forwarding such that it may only connect to the specified host and
|
|
port.
|
|
IPv6 addresses can be specified with an alternative syntax:
|
|
.Ar host Ns / Ns Ar port .
|
|

.Sh SSH_KNOWN_HOSTS FILE FORMAT
|
|
The
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts
|
|
files contain host public keys for all known hosts.
|
|
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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each line in these files contains the following fields: hostnames,
|
|
bits, exponent, modulus, comment.
|
|
The fields are separated by spaces.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Hostnames is a comma-separated list of patterns
|
|
.Pf ( Ql \&*
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql \&?
|
|
act as
|
|
wildcards); each pattern in turn is matched against the canonical host
|
|
name (when authenticating a client) or against the user-supplied
|
|
name (when authenticating a server).
|
|
A pattern may also be preceded by
|
|
.Ql \&!
|
|
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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Bits, exponent, and modulus are taken directly from the RSA host key; they
|
|
can be obtained, e.g., from
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.pub .
|
|
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
|
|
matching line has the proper key.
|
|
It is thus permissible (but not
|
|
recommended) to have several lines or different host keys for the same
|
|
names.
|
|
This will inevitably happen when short forms of host names
|
|
from different domains are put in the file.
|
|
It is possible
|
|
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.
|
|
Rather, generate them by a script
|
|
or by taking
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.pub
|
|
and adding the host names at the front.

|
.Xr sshd_config 5 .
|
|
.It Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key, /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
|
|
These two files contain the private parts of the host keys.
|

These files should only be owned by root, readable only by root, and not
|
|
accessible to others.
|
|
Note that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
does not start if this file is group/world-accessible.
|
|
.It Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.pub, /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub
|
|
These two files contain the public parts of the host keys.
|
|
These files should be world-readable but writable only by
|
|
root.
|
|
Their contents should match the respective private parts.
|
|
These files are not
|
|
really used for anything; they are provided for the convenience of
|
|
the user so their contents can be copied to known hosts files.
|
|
These files are created using
|
|
.Xr ssh-keygen 1 .
|
|
.It Pa /etc/ssh/moduli
|
|
Contains Diffie-Hellman groups used for the "Diffie-Hellman Group Exchange".

.Xr chroot 2
|
|
directory used by

|
The directory should not contain any files and must be owned by root
|
|
and not group or world-writable.
|
|
.It Pa /var/run/sshd.pid
|
|
Contains the process ID of the

|
|
concurrently for different ports, this contains the process ID of the one
|
|
started last).
|
|
The content of this file is not sensitive; it can be world-readable.
|
|
.It Pa $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
|
|
Lists the public keys (RSA or DSA) that can be used to log into the user's account.
|
|
This file must be readable by root (which may on some machines imply
|
|
it being world-readable if the user's home directory resides on an NFS
|
|
volume).
|
|
It is recommended that it not be accessible by others.
|
|
The format of this file is described above.
|
|
Users will place the contents of their
|
|
.Pa identity.pub ,
|
|
.Pa id_dsa.pub
|
|
and/or
|
|
.Pa id_rsa.pub
|
|
files into this file, as described in
|
|
.Xr ssh-keygen 1 .
|
|
.It Pa "/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts", "$HOME/.ssh/known_hosts"
|
|
These files are consulted when using rhosts with RSA host
|
|
authentication or protocol version 2 hostbased authentication
|
|
to check the public key of the host.
|
|
The key must be listed in one of these files to be accepted.
|
|
The client uses the same files
|
|
to verify that it is connecting to the correct remote host.
|
|
These files should be writable only by root/the owner.
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts

.It Pa /etc/nologin
|
|
If this file exists,

refuses to let anyone except root log in.
|
|
The contents of the file
|
|
are displayed to anyone trying to log in, and non-root connections are
|
|
refused.
|
|
The file should be world-readable.
|
|
.It Pa /etc/hosts.allow, /etc/hosts.deny
|
|
Access controls that should be enforced by tcp-wrappers are defined here.
|
|
Further details are described in
|
|
.Xr hosts_access 5 .
|
|
.It Pa $HOME/.rhosts
|
|
This file contains host-username pairs, separated by a space, one per
|
|
line.
|
|
The given user on the corresponding host is permitted to log in
|
|
without a password.
|
|
The same file is used by rlogind and rshd.
|
|
The file must
|
|
be writable only by the user; it is recommended that it not be
|
|
accessible by others.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is also possible to use netgroups in the file.
|
|
Either host or user
|
|
name may be of the form +@groupname to specify all hosts or all users
|
|
in the group.
|
|
.It Pa $HOME/.shosts
|
|
For ssh,
|
|
this file is exactly the same as for
|
|
.Pa .rhosts .
|
|
However, this file is
|
|
not used by rlogin and rshd, so using this permits access using SSH only.
|
|
.It Pa /etc/hosts.equiv
|
|
This file is used during
|
|
.Em rhosts
|
|
authentication.
|
|
In the simplest form, this file contains host names, one per line.
|
|
Users on
|
|
those hosts are permitted to log in without a password, provided they
|
|
have the same user name on both machines.
|
|
The host name may also be
|
|
followed by a user name; such users are permitted to log in as
|
|
.Em any
|
|
user on this machine (except root).
|
|
Additionally, the syntax
|
|
.Dq +@group
|
|
can be used to specify netgroups.
|
|
Negated entries start with
|
|
.Ql \&- .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the client host/user is successfully matched in this file, login is
|
|
automatically permitted provided the client and server user names are the
|
|
same.
|
|
Additionally, successful RSA host authentication is normally required.
|
|
This file must be writable only by root; it is recommended
|
|
that it be world-readable.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sy "Warning: It is almost never a good idea to use user names in"
|
|
.Pa hosts.equiv .
|
|
Beware that it really means that the named user(s) can log in as
|
|
.Em anybody ,
|
|
which includes bin, daemon, adm, and other accounts that own critical
|
|
binaries and directories.
|
|
Using a user name practically grants the user root access.
|
|
The only valid use for user names that I can think
|
|
of is in negative entries.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that this warning also applies to rsh/rlogin.
|
|
.It Pa /etc/ssh/shosts.equiv
|
|
This is processed exactly as
|
|
.Pa /etc/hosts.equiv .
|
|
However, this file may be useful in environments that want to run both
|
|
rsh/rlogin and ssh.
|
|
.It Pa $HOME/.ssh/environment
|
|
This file is read into the environment at login (if it exists).
|
|
It can only contain empty lines, comment lines (that start with
|
|
.Ql # ) ,
|
|
and assignment lines of the form name=value.
|
|
The file should be writable
|
|
only by the user; it need not be readable by anyone else.
|
|
Environment processing is disabled by default and is
|
|
controlled via the
|
|
.Cm PermitUserEnvironment
|
|
option.
|
|
.It Pa $HOME/.ssh/rc
|
|
If this file exists, it is run with
|
|
.Pa /bin/sh
|
|
after reading the
|
|
environment files but before starting the user's shell or command.
|
|
It must not produce any output on stdout; stderr must be used
|
|
instead.
|
|
If X11 forwarding is in use, it will receive the "proto cookie" pair in
|
|
its standard input (and
|
|
.Ev DISPLAY
|
|
in its environment).
|
|
The script must call
|
|
.Xr xauth 1
|
|
because
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will not run xauth automatically to add X11 cookies.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The primary purpose of this file is to run any initialization routines
|
|
which may be needed before the user's home directory becomes
|
|
accessible; AFS is a particular example of such an environment.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This file will probably contain some initialization code followed by
|
|
something similar to:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
if read proto cookie && [ -n "$DISPLAY" ]; then
|
|
if [ `echo $DISPLAY | cut -c1-10` = 'localhost:' ]; then
|
|
# X11UseLocalhost=yes
|
|
echo add unix:`echo $DISPLAY |
|
|
cut -c11-` $proto $cookie
|
|
else
|
|
# X11UseLocalhost=no
|
|
echo add $DISPLAY $proto $cookie
|
|
fi | xauth -q -
|
|
fi
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If this file does not exist,
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/sshrc
|
|
is run, and if that
|
|
does not exist either, xauth is used to add the cookie.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This file should be writable only by the user, and need not be
|
|
readable by anyone else.
|
|
.It Pa /etc/ssh/sshrc
|
|
Like
|
|
.Pa $HOME/.ssh/rc .
|
|
This can be used to specify
|
|
machine-specific login-time initializations globally.
|
|
This file should be writable only by root, and should be world-readable.
