-NAME
- sshd - OpenSSH SSH daemon
-
-SYNOPSIS
- sshd [-46DdeiqTt] [-b bits] [-C connection_spec]
- [-c host_certificate_file] [-E log_file] [-f config_file]
- [-g login_grace_time] [-h host_key_file] [-k key_gen_time]
- [-o option] [-p port] [-u len]
-
-DESCRIPTION
- sshd (OpenSSH Daemon) is the daemon program for ssh(1). Together these
- programs replace rlogin(1) and rsh(1), and provide secure encrypted
- communications between two untrusted hosts over an insecure network.
-
- sshd listens for connections from clients. It is normally started at
- boot from /etc/rc. It forks a new daemon for each incoming connection.
- The forked daemons handle key exchange, encryption, authentication,
- command execution, and data exchange.
-
- sshd can be configured using command-line options or a configuration file
- (by default sshd_config(5)); command-line options override values
- specified in the configuration file. sshd rereads its configuration file
- when it receives a hangup signal, SIGHUP, by executing itself with the
- name and options it was started with, e.g. /usr/sbin/sshd.
-
- The options are as follows:
-
- -4 Forces sshd to use IPv4 addresses only.
-
- -6 Forces sshd to use IPv6 addresses only.
-
- -b bits
- Specifies the number of bits in the ephemeral protocol version 1
- server key (default 1024).
-
- -C connection_spec
- Specify the connection parameters to use for the -T extended test
- mode. If provided, any 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 ``user'', ``host'', ``laddr'',
- ``lport'', and ``addr''. All are required and may be supplied in
- any order, either with multiple -C options or as a comma-
- separated list.
-
- -c host_certificate_file
- Specifies a path to a certificate file to identify sshd during
- key exchange. The certificate file must match a host key file
- specified using the -h option or the HostKey configuration
- directive.
-
- -D When this option is specified, sshd will not detach and does not
- become a daemon. This allows easy monitoring of sshd.
-
- -d Debug mode. The server sends verbose debug output to standard
- error, 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
- -d options increase the debugging level. Maximum is 3.
-
- -E log_file
- Append debug logs to log_file instead of the system log.
-
- -e Write debug logs to standard error instead of the system log.
-
- -f config_file
- Specifies the name of the configuration file. The default is
- /etc/ssh/sshd_config. sshd refuses to start if there is no
- configuration file.
-
- -g 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.
-
- -h host_key_file
- Specifies a file from which a host key is read. This option must
- be given if sshd is not run as root (as the normal host key files
- are normally not readable by anyone but root). The default is
- /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key for protocol version 1, and
- /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key, /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key.
- /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key and /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key for
- protocol version 2. It is possible to have multiple host key
- files for the different protocol versions and host key
- algorithms.
-
- -i Specifies that sshd is being run from inetd(8). sshd 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 sshd from inetd may be feasible.
-
- -k 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.
-
- -o 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 sshd_config(5).
-
- -p port
- Specifies the port on which the server listens for connections
- (default 22). Multiple port options are permitted. Ports
- specified in the configuration file with the Port option are
- ignored when a command-line port is specified. Ports specified
- using the ListenAddress option override command-line ports.
-
- -q Quiet mode. Nothing is sent to the system log. Normally the
- beginning, authentication, and termination of each connection is
- logged.
-
- -T Extended test mode. Check the validity of the configuration
- file, output the effective configuration to stdout and then exit.
- Optionally, Match rules may be applied by specifying the
- connection parameters using one or more -C options.
-
- -t Test mode. Only check the validity of the configuration file and
- sanity of the keys. This is useful for updating sshd reliably as
- configuration options may change.
-
- -u len This option is used to specify the size of the field in the utmp
- structure that holds the remote host name. If the resolved host
- name is longer than 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
- -u0 indicates that only dotted decimal addresses should be put
- into the utmp file. -u0 may also be used to prevent sshd from
- making DNS requests unless the authentication mechanism or
- configuration requires it. Authentication mechanisms that may
- require DNS include RhostsRSAAuthentication,
- HostbasedAuthentication, and using a from="pattern-list" option
- in a key file. Configuration options that require DNS include
- using a USER@HOST pattern in AllowUsers or DenyUsers.
-
-AUTHENTICATION
- The OpenSSH SSH daemon supports SSH protocols 1 and 2. The default is to
- use protocol 2 only, though this can be changed via the Protocol option
- in sshd_config(5). Protocol 2 supports DSA, ECDSA, ED25519 and RSA keys;
- protocol 1 only supports RSA keys. For both protocols, each host has a
- host-specific key, normally 2048 bits, used to identify the host.
-
- 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.
-
- 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 (hmac-md5, hmac-sha1, umac-64,
- umac-128, hmac-ripemd160, hmac-sha2-256 or hmac-sha2-512).
-
- 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.
-
- 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 DenyUsers or its group is listed in 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 (
- `*LK*' on Solaris and UnixWare, `*' on HP-UX, containing `Nologin' on
- Tru64, a leading `*LOCKED*' on FreeBSD and a leading `!' on most
- Linuxes). 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 `NP' or `*NP*' ).
-
- 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.
-
- After this, 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.
-
- 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.
-
-LOGIN PROCESS
- When a user successfully logs in, sshd does the following:
-
- 1. If the login is on a tty, and no command has been specified,
- prints last login time and /etc/motd (unless prevented in the
- configuration file or by ~/.hushlogin; see the FILES section).
-
- 2. If the login is on a tty, records login time.
-
- 3. Checks /etc/nologin; if it exists, prints contents and quits
- (unless root).
-
- 4. Changes to run with normal user privileges.
-
- 5. Sets up basic environment.
-
- 6. Reads the file ~/.ssh/environment, if it exists, and users are
- allowed to change their environment. See the
- PermitUserEnvironment option in sshd_config(5).
-
- 7. Changes to user's home directory.
-
- 8. If ~/.ssh/rc exists, runs it; else if /etc/ssh/sshrc exists,
- runs it; otherwise runs xauth. The ``rc'' files are given the
- X11 authentication protocol and cookie in standard input. See
- SSHRC, below.
-
- 9. Runs user's shell or command.
-
-SSHRC
- If the file ~/.ssh/rc exists, sh(1) runs it 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 DISPLAY in its environment). The script must call
- xauth(1) because sshd will not run xauth automatically to add X11
- cookies.
-
- 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.
-
- This file will probably contain some initialization code followed by
- something similar to:
-
- 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
-
- If this file does not exist, /etc/ssh/sshrc is run, and if that does not
- exist either, xauth is used to add the cookie.
-
-AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT
- AuthorizedKeysFile specifies the files containing public keys for public
- key authentication; if none is specified, the default is
- ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2. Each line of the
- file contains one key (empty lines and lines starting with a `#' are
- ignored as comments). Protocol 1 public keys consist of the following
- space-separated fields: options, bits, exponent, modulus, comment.
- Protocol 2 public key consist 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 ``ecdsa-sha2-nistp256'',
- ``ecdsa-sha2-nistp384'', ``ecdsa-sha2-nistp521'', ``ssh-ed25519'',
- ``ssh-dss'' or ``ssh-rsa''.
-
- Note that lines in this file are usually several hundred bytes long
- (because of the size of the public key encoding) up to a limit of 8
- kilobytes, which permits DSA keys up to 8 kilobits and RSA keys up to 16
- kilobits. You don't want to type them in; instead, copy the
- identity.pub, id_dsa.pub, id_ecdsa.pub, id_ed25519.pub, or the id_rsa.pub
- file and edit it.
-
- sshd enforces a minimum RSA key modulus size for protocol 1 and protocol
- 2 keys of 768 bits.
-
- 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):
-
- cert-authority
- Specifies that the listed key is a certification authority (CA)
- that is trusted to validate signed certificates for user
- authentication.
-
- Certificates may encode access restrictions similar to these key
- options. If both certificate restrictions and key options are
- present, the most restrictive union of the two is applied.
-
- 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
- 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 and/or X11 forwarding
- unless they are explicitly prohibited. The command originally
- supplied by the client is available in the SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND
- environment variable. Note that this option applies to shell,
- command or subsystem execution. Also note that this command may
- be superseded by either a sshd_config(5) ForceCommand directive
- or a command embedded in a certificate.
-
- 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 PermitUserEnvironment option.
- This option is automatically disabled if UseLogin is enabled.
-
- from="pattern-list"
- 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. See PATTERNS in
- ssh_config(5) for more information on patterns.
-
- In addition to the wildcard matching that may be applied to
- hostnames or addresses, a from stanza may match IP addresses
- using CIDR address/masklen notation.
-
- 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).
-
- no-agent-forwarding
- Forbids authentication agent forwarding when this key is used for
- authentication.
-
- no-port-forwarding
- Forbids TCP 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 command option.
-
- no-pty Prevents tty allocation (a request to allocate a pty will fail).
-
- no-user-rc
- Disables execution of ~/.ssh/rc.
-
- no-X11-forwarding
- Forbids X11 forwarding when this key is used for authentication.
- Any X11 forward requests by the client will return an error.
-
- permitopen="host:port"
- Limit local ``ssh -L'' port forwarding such that it may only
- connect to the specified host and port. IPv6 addresses can be
- specified by enclosing the address in square brackets. Multiple
- permitopen options may be applied separated by commas. No
- pattern matching is performed on the specified hostnames, they
- must be literal domains or addresses. A port specification of *
- matches any port.
-
- principals="principals"
- On a cert-authority line, specifies allowed principals for
- certificate authentication as a comma-separated list. At least
- one name from the list must appear in the certificate's list of
- principals for the certificate to be accepted. This option is
- ignored for keys that are not marked as trusted certificate
- signers using the cert-authority option.
-
- tunnel="n"
- Force a tun(4) device on the server. Without this option, the
- next available device will be used if the client requests a
- tunnel.
-
- An example authorized_keys file:
-
- # Comments allowed at start of line
- ssh-rsa AAAAB3Nza...LiPk== user@example.net
- from="*.sales.example.net,!pc.sales.example.net" ssh-rsa
- AAAAB2...19Q== john@example.net
- command="dump /home",no-pty,no-port-forwarding ssh-dss
- AAAAC3...51R== example.net
- permitopen="192.0.2.1:80",permitopen="192.0.2.2:25" ssh-dss
- AAAAB5...21S==
- tunnel="0",command="sh /etc/netstart tun0" ssh-rsa AAAA...==
- jane@example.net
-
-SSH_KNOWN_HOSTS FILE FORMAT
- The /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts and ~/.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.
-
- Each line in these files contains the following fields: markers
- (optional), hostnames, bits, exponent, modulus, comment. The fields are
- separated by spaces.
-
- The marker is optional, but if it is present then it must be one of
- ``@cert-authority'', to indicate that the line contains a certification
- authority (CA) key, or ``@revoked'', to indicate that the key contained
- on the line is revoked and must not ever be accepted. Only one marker
- should be used on a key line.
-
- Hostnames is a comma-separated list of patterns (`*' and `?' 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 `!' 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.
- A hostname or address may optionally be enclosed within `[' and `]'
- brackets then followed by `:' and a non-standard port number.
-
- 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 `|' character. Only one hashed hostname may
- appear on a single line and none of the above negation or wildcard
- operators may be applied.
-
- Bits, exponent, and modulus are taken directly from the RSA host key;
- they can be obtained, for example, from /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.pub. The
- optional comment field continues to the end of the line, and is not used.
-
- Lines starting with `#' and empty lines are ignored as comments.
-
- When performing host authentication, authentication is accepted if any
- 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 ``@cert-authority''
- marker described above.
-
- 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 ``@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 ssh(1) when they are encountered.
-
- It is 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.
-
- 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, ssh-keyscan(1) or by taking
- /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.pub and adding the host names at the front.
- ssh-keygen(1) also offers some basic automated editing for
- ~/.ssh/known_hosts including removing hosts matching a host name and
- converting all host names to their hashed representations.
-
- An example ssh_known_hosts file:
-
- # Comments allowed at start of line
- closenet,...,192.0.2.53 1024 37 159...93 closenet.example.net
- cvs.example.net,192.0.2.10 ssh-rsa AAAA1234.....=
- # A hashed hostname
- |1|JfKTdBh7rNbXkVAQCRp4OQoPfmI=|USECr3SWf1JUPsms5AqfD5QfxkM= ssh-rsa
- AAAA1234.....=
- # A revoked key
- @revoked * ssh-rsa AAAAB5W...
- # A CA key, accepted for any host in *.mydomain.com or *.mydomain.org
- @cert-authority *.mydomain.org,*.mydomain.com ssh-rsa AAAAB5W...
-
-FILES
- ~/.hushlogin
- This file is used to suppress printing the last login time and
- /etc/motd, if PrintLastLog and PrintMotd, respectively, are
- enabled. It does not suppress printing of the banner specified
- by Banner.
-
- ~/.rhosts
- This file is used for host-based authentication (see ssh(1) for
- more information). On some machines this file may need to be
- world-readable if the user's home directory is on an NFS
- partition, because sshd reads it as root. Additionally, this
- file must be owned by the user, and must not have write
- permissions for anyone else. The recommended permission for most
- machines is read/write for the user, and not accessible by
- others.
-
- ~/.shosts
- This file is used in exactly the same way as .rhosts, but allows
- host-based authentication without permitting login with
- rlogin/rsh.
-
- ~/.ssh/
- This directory is the default location for all user-specific
- configuration and authentication information. There is no
- general requirement to keep the entire contents of this directory
- secret, but the recommended permissions are read/write/execute
- for the user, and not accessible by others.
-
- ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
- Lists the public keys (DSA, ECDSA, ED25519, RSA) that can be used
- for logging in as this user. The format of this file is
- described above. The content of the file is not highly
- sensitive, but the recommended permissions are read/write for the
- user, and not accessible by others.
-
- If this file, the ~/.ssh directory, or the user's home directory
- are writable by other users, then the file could be modified or
- replaced by unauthorized users. In this case, sshd will not
- allow it to be used unless the StrictModes option has been set to
- ``no''.
-
- ~/.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
- `#'), 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 PermitUserEnvironment option.
-
- ~/.ssh/known_hosts
- Contains a list of host keys for all hosts the user has logged
- into that are not already in the systemwide list of known host
- keys. The format of this file is described above. This file
- should be writable only by root/the owner and can, but need not
- be, world-readable.
-
- ~/.ssh/rc
- Contains initialization routines to be run before the user's home
- directory becomes accessible. This file should be writable only
- by the user, and need not be readable by anyone else.
-
- /etc/hosts.allow
- /etc/hosts.deny
- Access controls that should be enforced by tcp-wrappers are
- defined here. Further details are described in hosts_access(5).
-
- /etc/hosts.equiv
- This file is for host-based authentication (see ssh(1)). It
- should only be writable by root.
-
- /etc/moduli
- Contains Diffie-Hellman groups used for the "Diffie-Hellman Group
- Exchange". The file format is described in moduli(5).
-
- /etc/motd
- See motd(5).
-
- /etc/nologin
- If this file exists, sshd 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.
-
- /etc/shosts.equiv
- This file is used in exactly the same way as hosts.equiv, but
- allows host-based authentication without permitting login with
- rlogin/rsh.
-
- /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
- /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
- /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
- /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key
- /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
- These 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 sshd does not start if these
- files are group/world-accessible.
-
- /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.pub
- /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub
- /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key.pub
- /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub
- /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
- These 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 ssh-keygen(1).
-
- /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
- Systemwide list of known host keys. This file should be prepared
- by the system administrator to contain the public host keys of
- all machines in the organization. The format of this file is
- described above. This file should be writable only by root/the
- owner and should be world-readable.
-
- /etc/ssh/sshd_config
- Contains configuration data for sshd. The file format and
- configuration options are described in sshd_config(5).

- /etc/ssh/sshrc
- Similar to ~/.ssh/rc, it can be used to specify machine-specific
- login-time initializations globally. This file should be
- writable only by root, and should be world-readable.
-
- /var/empty
- chroot(2) directory used by sshd during privilege separation in
- the pre-authentication phase. The directory should not contain
- any files and must be owned by root and not group or world-
- writable.
-
- /var/run/sshd.pid
- Contains the process ID of the sshd listening for connections (if
- there are several daemons running 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.

-AUTHORS
- OpenSSH is a derivative of the original and free ssh 1.2.12 release by
- Tatu Ylonen. Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo
- de Raadt and Dug Song removed many bugs, re-added newer features and
- created OpenSSH. Markus Friedl contributed the support for SSH protocol
- versions 1.5 and 2.0. Niels Provos and Markus Friedl contributed support
- for privilege separation.
-
-CAVEATS
- System security is not improved unless rshd, rlogind, and rexecd are
- disabled (thus completely disabling rlogin and rsh into the machine).
