-SSHD_CONFIG(5) OpenBSD Programmer's Manual SSHD_CONFIG(5)
-
-NAME
- sshd_config - OpenSSH SSH daemon configuration file
-
-SYNOPSIS
- /etc/ssh/sshd_config
-
-DESCRIPTION
- sshd(8) reads configuration data from /etc/ssh/sshd_config (or the file
- specified with -f on the command line). The file contains keyword-
- argument pairs, one per line. Lines starting with `#' and empty lines
- are interpreted as comments. Arguments may optionally be enclosed in
- double quotes (") in order to represent arguments containing spaces.
-
- The possible keywords and their meanings are as follows (note that
- keywords are case-insensitive and arguments are case-sensitive):
-
- AcceptEnv
- Specifies what environment variables sent by the client will be
- copied into the session's environ(7). See SendEnv in
- ssh_config(5) for how to configure the client. Note that
- environment passing is only supported for protocol 2. Variables
- are specified by name, which may contain the wildcard characters
- `*' and `?'. Multiple environment variables may be separated by
- whitespace or spread across multiple AcceptEnv directives. Be
- warned that some environment variables could be used to bypass
- restricted user environments. For this reason, care should be
- taken in the use of this directive. The default is not to accept
- any environment variables.
-
- AddressFamily
- Specifies which address family should be used by sshd(8). Valid
- arguments are ``any'', ``inet'' (use IPv4 only), or ``inet6''
- (use IPv6 only). The default is ``any''.
-
- AllowAgentForwarding
- Specifies whether ssh-agent(1) forwarding is permitted. The
- default is ``yes''. Note that disabling agent forwarding does
- not improve security unless users are also denied shell access,
- as they can always install their own forwarders.
-
- AllowGroups
- This keyword can be followed by a list of group name patterns,
- separated by spaces. If specified, login is allowed only for
- users whose primary group or supplementary group list matches one
- of the patterns. Only group names are valid; a numerical group
- ID is not recognized. By default, login is allowed for all
- groups. The allow/deny directives are processed in the following
- order: DenyUsers, AllowUsers, DenyGroups, and finally
- AllowGroups.
-
- See PATTERNS in ssh_config(5) for more information on patterns.
-
- AllowTcpForwarding
- Specifies whether TCP forwarding is permitted. The available
- options are ``yes'' or ``all'' to allow TCP forwarding, ``no'' to
- prevent all TCP forwarding, ``local'' to allow local (from the
- perspective of ssh(1)) forwarding only or ``remote'' to allow
- remote forwarding only. The default is ``yes''. Note that
- disabling TCP forwarding does not improve security unless users
- are also denied shell access, as they can always install their
- own forwarders.
-
- AllowUsers
- This keyword can be followed by a list of user name patterns,
- separated by spaces. If specified, login is allowed only for
- user names that match one of the patterns. Only user names are
- valid; a numerical user ID is not recognized. By default, login
- is allowed for all users. If the pattern takes the form
- USER@HOST then USER and HOST are separately checked, restricting
- logins to particular users from particular hosts. The allow/deny
- directives are processed in the following order: DenyUsers,
- AllowUsers, DenyGroups, and finally AllowGroups.
-
- See PATTERNS in ssh_config(5) for more information on patterns.
-
- AuthenticationMethods
- Specifies the authentication methods that must be successfully
- completed for a user to be granted access. This option must be
- followed by one or more comma-separated lists of authentication
- method names. Successful authentication requires completion of
- every method in at least one of these lists.
-
- For example, an argument of ``publickey,password
- publickey,keyboard-interactive'' would require the user to
- complete public key authentication, followed by either password
- or keyboard interactive authentication. Only methods that are
- next in one or more lists are offered at each stage, so for this
- example, it would not be possible to attempt password or
- keyboard-interactive authentication before public key.
-
- For keyboard interactive authentication it is also possible to
- restrict authentication to a specific device by appending a colon
- followed by the device identifier ``bsdauth'', ``pam'', or
- ``skey'', depending on the server configuration. For example,
- ``keyboard-interactive:bsdauth'' would restrict keyboard
- interactive authentication to the ``bsdauth'' device.
-
- This option is only available for SSH protocol 2 and will yield a
- fatal error if enabled if protocol 1 is also enabled. Note that
- each authentication method listed should also be explicitly
- enabled in the configuration. The default is not to require
- multiple authentication; successful completion of a single
- authentication method is sufficient.
-
- AuthorizedKeysCommand
- Specifies a program to be used to look up the user's public keys.
- The program must be owned by root and not writable by group or
- others. It will be invoked with a single argument of the
- username being authenticated, and should produce on standard
- output zero or more lines of authorized_keys output (see
- AUTHORIZED_KEYS in sshd(8)). If a key supplied by
- AuthorizedKeysCommand does not successfully authenticate and
- authorize the user then public key authentication continues using
- the usual AuthorizedKeysFile files. By default, no
- AuthorizedKeysCommand is run.
-
- AuthorizedKeysCommandUser
- Specifies the user under whose account the AuthorizedKeysCommand
- is run. It is recommended to use a dedicated user that has no
- other role on the host than running authorized keys commands.
-
- AuthorizedKeysFile
- Specifies the file that contains the public keys that can be used
- for user authentication. The format is described in the
- AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT section of sshd(8).
- AuthorizedKeysFile may contain tokens of the form %T which are
- substituted during connection setup. The following tokens are
- defined: %% is replaced by a literal '%', %h is replaced by the
- home directory of the user being authenticated, and %u is
- replaced by the username of that user. After expansion,
- AuthorizedKeysFile is taken to be an absolute path or one
- relative to the user's home directory. Multiple files may be
- listed, separated by whitespace. The default is
- ``.ssh/authorized_keys .ssh/authorized_keys2''.
-
- AuthorizedPrincipalsFile
- Specifies a file that lists principal names that are accepted for
- certificate authentication. When using certificates signed by a
- key listed in TrustedUserCAKeys, this file lists names, one of
- which must appear in the certificate for it to be accepted for
- authentication. Names are listed one per line preceded by key
- options (as described in AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT in sshd(8)).
- Empty lines and comments starting with `#' are ignored.
-
- AuthorizedPrincipalsFile may contain tokens of the form %T which
- are substituted during connection setup. The following tokens
- are defined: %% is replaced by a literal '%', %h is replaced by
- the home directory of the user being authenticated, and %u is
- replaced by the username of that user. After expansion,
- AuthorizedPrincipalsFile is taken to be an absolute path or one
- relative to the user's home directory.
-
- The default is ``none'', i.e. not to use a principals file - in
- this case, the username of the user must appear in a
- certificate's principals list for it to be accepted. Note that
- AuthorizedPrincipalsFile is only used when authentication
- proceeds using a CA listed in TrustedUserCAKeys and is not
- consulted for certification authorities trusted via
- ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, though the principals= key option offers
- a similar facility (see sshd(8) for details).
-
- Banner The contents of the specified file are sent to the remote user
- before authentication is allowed. If the argument is ``none''
- then no banner is displayed. This option is only available for
- protocol version 2. By default, no banner is displayed.
-
- ChallengeResponseAuthentication
- Specifies whether challenge-response authentication is allowed
- (e.g. via PAM or though authentication styles supported in
- login.conf(5)) The default is ``yes''.
-
- ChrootDirectory
- Specifies the pathname of a directory to chroot(2) to after
- authentication. All components of the pathname must be root-
- owned directories that are not writable by any other user or
- group. After the chroot, sshd(8) changes the working directory
- to the user's home directory.
-
- The pathname may contain the following tokens that are expanded
- at runtime once the connecting user has been authenticated: %% is
- replaced by a literal '%', %h is replaced by the home directory
- of the user being authenticated, and %u is replaced by the
- username of that user.
-
- The ChrootDirectory must contain the necessary files and
- directories to support the user's session. For an interactive
- session this requires at least a shell, typically sh(1), and
- basic /dev nodes such as null(4), zero(4), stdin(4), stdout(4),
- stderr(4), arandom(4) and tty(4) devices. For file transfer
- sessions using ``sftp'', no additional configuration of the
- environment is necessary if the in-process sftp server is used,
- though sessions which use logging do require /dev/log inside the
- chroot directory (see sftp-server(8) for details).
-
- The default is not to chroot(2).
-
- Ciphers
- Specifies the ciphers allowed for protocol version 2. Multiple
- ciphers must be comma-separated. The supported ciphers are:
-
- ``3des-cbc'', ``aes128-cbc'', ``aes192-cbc'', ``aes256-cbc'',
- ``aes128-ctr'', ``aes192-ctr'', ``aes256-ctr'',
- ``aes128-gcm@openssh.com'', ``aes256-gcm@openssh.com'',
- ``arcfour128'', ``arcfour256'', ``arcfour'', ``blowfish-cbc'',
- ``cast128-cbc'', and ``chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com''.
-
- The default is:
-
- aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,arcfour256,arcfour128,
- aes128-gcm@openssh.com,aes256-gcm@openssh.com,
- chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com,
- aes128-cbc,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,cast128-cbc,aes192-cbc,
- aes256-cbc,arcfour
-
- The list of available ciphers may also be obtained using the -Q
- option of ssh(1).
-
- ClientAliveCountMax
- Sets the number of client alive messages (see below) which may be
- sent without sshd(8) receiving any messages back from the client.
- If this threshold is reached while client alive messages are
- being sent, sshd will disconnect the client, terminating the
- session. It is important to note that the use of client alive
- messages is very different from TCPKeepAlive (below). The client
- alive messages are sent through the encrypted channel and
- therefore will not be spoofable. The TCP keepalive option
- enabled by TCPKeepAlive is spoofable. The client alive mechanism
- is valuable when the client or server depend on knowing when a
- connection has become inactive.
-
- The default value is 3. If ClientAliveInterval (see below) is
- set to 15, and ClientAliveCountMax is left at the default,
- unresponsive SSH clients will be disconnected after approximately
- 45 seconds. This option applies to protocol version 2 only.
-
- ClientAliveInterval
- Sets a timeout interval in seconds after which if no data has
- been received from the client, sshd(8) will send a message
- through the encrypted channel to request a response from the
- client. The default is 0, indicating that these messages will
- not be sent to the client. This option applies to protocol
- version 2 only.
-
- Compression
- Specifies whether compression is allowed, or delayed until the
- user has authenticated successfully. The argument must be
- ``yes'', ``delayed'', or ``no''. The default is ``delayed''.
-
- DenyGroups
- This keyword can be followed by a list of group name patterns,
- separated by spaces. Login is disallowed for users whose primary
- group or supplementary group list matches one of the patterns.
- Only group names are valid; a numerical group ID is not
- recognized. By default, login is allowed for all groups. The
- allow/deny directives are processed in the following order:
- DenyUsers, AllowUsers, DenyGroups, and finally AllowGroups.
-
- See PATTERNS in ssh_config(5) for more information on patterns.
-
- DenyUsers
- This keyword can be followed by a list of user name patterns,
- separated by spaces. Login is disallowed for user names that
- match one of the patterns. Only user names are valid; a
- numerical user ID is not recognized. By default, login is
- allowed for all users. If the pattern takes the form USER@HOST
- then USER and HOST are separately checked, restricting logins to
- particular users from particular hosts. The allow/deny
- directives are processed in the following order: DenyUsers,
- AllowUsers, DenyGroups, and finally AllowGroups.
-
- See PATTERNS in ssh_config(5) for more information on patterns.
-
- ForceCommand
- Forces the execution of the command specified by ForceCommand,
- ignoring any command supplied by the client and ~/.ssh/rc if
- present. The command is invoked by using the user's login shell
- with the -c option. This applies to shell, command, or subsystem
- execution. It is most useful inside a Match block. The command
- originally supplied by the client is available in the
- SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND environment variable. Specifying a command
- of ``internal-sftp'' will force the use of an in-process sftp
- server that requires no support files when used with
- ChrootDirectory.
-
- GatewayPorts
- Specifies whether remote hosts are allowed to connect to ports
- forwarded for the client. By default, sshd(8) binds remote port
- forwardings to the loopback address. This prevents other remote
- hosts from connecting to forwarded ports. GatewayPorts can be
- used to specify that sshd should allow remote port forwardings to
- bind to non-loopback addresses, thus allowing other hosts to
- connect. The argument may be ``no'' to force remote port
- forwardings to be available to the local host only, ``yes'' to
- force remote port forwardings to bind to the wildcard address, or
- ``clientspecified'' to allow the client to select the address to
- which the forwarding is bound. The default is ``no''.
-
- GSSAPIAuthentication
- Specifies whether user authentication based on GSSAPI is allowed.
- The default is ``no''. Note that this option applies to protocol
- version 2 only.
-
- GSSAPICleanupCredentials
- Specifies whether to automatically destroy the user's credentials
- cache on logout. The default is ``yes''. Note that this option
- applies to protocol version 2 only.
-
- HostbasedAuthentication
- Specifies whether rhosts or /etc/hosts.equiv authentication
- together with successful public key client host authentication is
- allowed (host-based authentication). This option is similar to
- RhostsRSAAuthentication and applies to protocol version 2 only.
- The default is ``no''.
-
- HostbasedUsesNameFromPacketOnly
- Specifies whether or not the server will attempt to perform a
- reverse name lookup when matching the name in the ~/.shosts,
- ~/.rhosts, and /etc/hosts.equiv files during
- HostbasedAuthentication. A setting of ``yes'' means that sshd(8)
- uses the name supplied by the client rather than attempting to
- resolve the name from the TCP connection itself. The default is
- ``no''.
-
- HostCertificate
- Specifies a file containing a public host certificate. The
- certificate's public key must match a private host key already
- specified by HostKey. The default behaviour of sshd(8) is not to
- load any certificates.
-
- HostKey
- Specifies a file containing a private host key used by SSH. 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. Note that sshd(8) will refuse to use a file
- if it is group/world-accessible. It is possible to have multiple
- host key files. ``rsa1'' keys are used for version 1 and
- ``dsa'', ``ecdsa'', ``ed25519'' or ``rsa'' are used for version 2
- of the SSH protocol. It is also possible to specify public host
- key files instead. In this case operations on the private key
- will be delegated to an ssh-agent(1).
-
- HostKeyAgent
- Identifies the UNIX-domain socket used to communicate with an
- agent that has access to the private host keys. If
- ``SSH_AUTH_SOCK'' is specified, the location of the socket will
- be read from the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable.
-
- IgnoreRhosts
- Specifies that .rhosts and .shosts files will not be used in
- RhostsRSAAuthentication or HostbasedAuthentication.
-
- /etc/hosts.equiv and /etc/shosts.equiv are still used. The
- default is ``yes''.
-
- IgnoreUserKnownHosts
- Specifies whether sshd(8) should ignore the user's
- ~/.ssh/known_hosts during RhostsRSAAuthentication or
- HostbasedAuthentication. The default is ``no''.
-
- IPQoS Specifies the IPv4 type-of-service or DSCP class for the
- connection. Accepted values are ``af11'', ``af12'', ``af13'',
- ``af21'', ``af22'', ``af23'', ``af31'', ``af32'', ``af33'',
- ``af41'', ``af42'', ``af43'', ``cs0'', ``cs1'', ``cs2'', ``cs3'',
- ``cs4'', ``cs5'', ``cs6'', ``cs7'', ``ef'', ``lowdelay'',
- ``throughput'', ``reliability'', or a numeric value. This option
- may take one or two arguments, separated by whitespace. If one
- argument is specified, it is used as the packet class
- unconditionally. If two values are specified, the first is
- automatically selected for interactive sessions and the second
- for non-interactive sessions. The default is ``lowdelay'' for
- interactive sessions and ``throughput'' for non-interactive
- sessions.
-
- KbdInteractiveAuthentication
- Specifies whether to allow keyboard-interactive authentication.
- The argument to this keyword must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The
- default is to use whatever value ChallengeResponseAuthentication
- is set to (by default ``yes'').
-
- KerberosAuthentication
- Specifies whether the password provided by the user for
- PasswordAuthentication will be validated through the Kerberos
- KDC. To use this option, the server needs a Kerberos servtab
- which allows the verification of the KDC's identity. The default
- is ``no''.
-
- KerberosGetAFSToken
- If AFS is active and the user has a Kerberos 5 TGT, attempt to
- acquire an AFS token before accessing the user's home directory.
- The default is ``no''.
-
- KerberosOrLocalPasswd
- If password authentication through Kerberos fails then the
- password will be validated via any additional local mechanism
- such as /etc/passwd. The default is ``yes''.
-
- KerberosTicketCleanup
- Specifies whether to automatically destroy the user's ticket
- cache file on logout. The default is ``yes''.
-
- KexAlgorithms
- Specifies the available KEX (Key Exchange) algorithms. Multiple
- algorithms must be comma-separated. The default is
-
- curve25519-sha256@libssh.org,
- ecdh-sha2-nistp256,ecdh-sha2-nistp384,ecdh-sha2-nistp521,
- diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256,
- diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1,
- diffie-hellman-group14-sha1,
- diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
-
- KeyRegenerationInterval
- In protocol version 1, the ephemeral server key is automatically
- regenerated after this many seconds (if it has been used). The
- purpose of regeneration is to prevent decrypting captured
- sessions by later breaking into the machine and stealing the
- keys. The key is never stored anywhere. If the value is 0, the
- key is never regenerated. The default is 3600 (seconds).
-
- ListenAddress
- Specifies the local addresses sshd(8) should listen on. The
- following forms may be used:
-
- ListenAddress host|IPv4_addr|IPv6_addr
- ListenAddress host|IPv4_addr:port
- ListenAddress [host|IPv6_addr]:port
-
- If port is not specified, sshd will listen on the address and all
- prior Port options specified. The default is to listen on all
- local addresses. Multiple ListenAddress options are permitted.
- Additionally, any Port options must precede this option for non-
- port qualified addresses.
-
- LoginGraceTime
- The server disconnects after this time if the user has not
- successfully logged in. If the value is 0, there is no time
- limit. The default is 120 seconds.
-
- LogLevel
- Gives the verbosity level that is used when logging messages from
- sshd(8). The possible values are: QUIET, FATAL, ERROR, INFO,
- VERBOSE, DEBUG, DEBUG1, DEBUG2, and DEBUG3. The default is INFO.
- DEBUG and DEBUG1 are equivalent. DEBUG2 and DEBUG3 each specify
- higher levels of debugging output. Logging with a DEBUG level
- violates the privacy of users and is not recommended.
-
- MACs Specifies the available MAC (message authentication code)
- algorithms. The MAC algorithm is used in protocol version 2 for
- data integrity protection. Multiple algorithms must be comma-
- separated. The algorithms that contain ``-etm'' calculate the
- MAC after encryption (encrypt-then-mac). These are considered
- safer and their use recommended. The default is:
-
- hmac-md5-etm@openssh.com,hmac-sha1-etm@openssh.com,
- umac-64-etm@openssh.com,umac-128-etm@openssh.com,
- hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com,hmac-sha2-512-etm@openssh.com,
- hmac-ripemd160-etm@openssh.com,hmac-sha1-96-etm@openssh.com,
- hmac-md5-96-etm@openssh.com,
- hmac-md5,hmac-sha1,umac-64@openssh.com,umac-128@openssh.com,
- hmac-sha2-256,hmac-sha2-512,hmac-ripemd160,
- hmac-sha1-96,hmac-md5-96
-
- Match Introduces a conditional block. If all of the criteria on the
- Match line are satisfied, the keywords on the following lines
- override those set in the global section of the config file,
- until either another Match line or the end of the file. If a
- keyword appears in multiple Match blocks that are satisified,
- only the first instance of the keyword is applied.
-
- The arguments to Match are one or more criteria-pattern pairs or
- the single token All which matches all criteria. The available
- criteria are User, Group, Host, LocalAddress, LocalPort, and
- Address. The match patterns may consist of single entries or
- comma-separated lists and may use the wildcard and negation
- operators described in the PATTERNS section of ssh_config(5).
-
- The patterns in an Address criteria may additionally contain
- addresses to match in CIDR address/masklen format, e.g.
- ``192.0.2.0/24'' or ``3ffe:ffff::/32''. Note that the mask
- length provided must be consistent with the address - it is an
- error to specify a mask length that is too long for the address
- or one with bits set in this host portion of the address. For
- example, ``192.0.2.0/33'' and ``192.0.2.0/8'' respectively.
-
- Only a subset of keywords may be used on the lines following a
- Match keyword. Available keywords are AcceptEnv,
- AllowAgentForwarding, AllowGroups, AllowTcpForwarding,
- AllowUsers, AuthenticationMethods, AuthorizedKeysCommand,
- AuthorizedKeysCommandUser, AuthorizedKeysFile,
- AuthorizedPrincipalsFile, Banner, ChrootDirectory, DenyGroups,
- DenyUsers, ForceCommand, GatewayPorts, GSSAPIAuthentication,
- HostbasedAuthentication, HostbasedUsesNameFromPacketOnly,
- KbdInteractiveAuthentication, KerberosAuthentication,
- MaxAuthTries, MaxSessions, PasswordAuthentication,
- PermitEmptyPasswords, PermitOpen, PermitRootLogin, PermitTTY,
- PermitTunnel, PubkeyAuthentication, RekeyLimit,
- RhostsRSAAuthentication, RSAAuthentication, X11DisplayOffset,
- X11Forwarding and X11UseLocalHost.
-
- MaxAuthTries
- Specifies the maximum number of authentication attempts permitted
- per connection. Once the number of failures reaches half this
- value, additional failures are logged. The default is 6.
-
- MaxSessions
- Specifies the maximum number of open sessions permitted per
- network connection. The default is 10.
-
- MaxStartups
- Specifies the maximum number of concurrent unauthenticated
- connections to the SSH daemon. Additional connections will be
- dropped until authentication succeeds or the LoginGraceTime
- expires for a connection. The default is 10:30:100.
-
- Alternatively, random early drop can be enabled by specifying the
- three colon separated values ``start:rate:full'' (e.g.
- "10:30:60"). sshd(8) will refuse connection attempts with a
- probability of ``rate/100'' (30%) if there are currently
- ``start'' (10) unauthenticated connections. The probability
- increases linearly and all connection attempts are refused if the
- number of unauthenticated connections reaches ``full'' (60).
-
- PasswordAuthentication
- Specifies whether password authentication is allowed. The
- default is ``yes''.
-
- PermitEmptyPasswords
- When password authentication is allowed, it specifies whether the
- server allows login to accounts with empty password strings. The
- default is ``no''.
-
- PermitOpen
- Specifies the destinations to which TCP port forwarding is
- permitted. The forwarding specification must be one of the
- following forms:
-
- PermitOpen host:port
- PermitOpen IPv4_addr:port
- PermitOpen [IPv6_addr]:port
-
- Multiple forwards may be specified by separating them with
- whitespace. An argument of ``any'' can be used to remove all
- restrictions and permit any forwarding requests. An argument of
- ``none'' can be used to prohibit all forwarding requests. By
- default all port forwarding requests are permitted.
-
- PermitRootLogin
- Specifies whether root can log in using ssh(1). The argument
- must be ``yes'', ``without-password'', ``forced-commands-only'',
- or ``no''. The default is ``yes''.
-
- If this option is set to ``without-password'', password
- authentication is disabled for root.
-
- If this option is set to ``forced-commands-only'', root login
- with public key authentication will be allowed, but only if the
- command option has been specified (which may be useful for taking
- remote backups even if root login is normally not allowed). All
- other authentication methods are disabled for root.
-
- If this option is set to ``no'', root is not allowed to log in.
-
- PermitTunnel
- Specifies whether tun(4) device forwarding is allowed. The
- argument must be ``yes'', ``point-to-point'' (layer 3),
- ``ethernet'' (layer 2), or ``no''. Specifying ``yes'' permits
- both ``point-to-point'' and ``ethernet''. The default is ``no''.
-
- PermitTTY
- Specifies whether pty(4) allocation is permitted. The default is
- ``yes''.
-
- PermitUserEnvironment
- Specifies whether ~/.ssh/environment and environment= options in
- ~/.ssh/authorized_keys are processed by sshd(8). The default is
- ``no''. Enabling environment processing may enable users to
- bypass access restrictions in some configurations using
- mechanisms such as LD_PRELOAD.
-
- PidFile
- Specifies the file that contains the process ID of the SSH
- daemon. The default is /var/run/sshd.pid.
-
- Port Specifies the port number that sshd(8) listens on. The default
- is 22. Multiple options of this type are permitted. See also
- ListenAddress.
-
- PrintLastLog
- Specifies whether sshd(8) should print the date and time of the
- last user login when a user logs in interactively. The default
- is ``yes''.
-
- PrintMotd
- Specifies whether sshd(8) should print /etc/motd when a user logs
- in interactively. (On some systems it is also printed by the
- shell, /etc/profile, or equivalent.) The default is ``yes''.
-
- Protocol
- Specifies the protocol versions sshd(8) supports. The possible
- values are `1' and `2'. Multiple versions must be comma-
- separated. The default is `2'. Note that the order of the
- protocol list does not indicate preference, because the client
- selects among multiple protocol versions offered by the server.
- Specifying ``2,1'' is identical to ``1,2''.
-
- PubkeyAuthentication
- Specifies whether public key authentication is allowed. The
- default is ``yes''. Note that this option applies to protocol
- version 2 only.
-
- RekeyLimit
- Specifies the maximum amount of data that may be transmitted
- before the session key is renegotiated, optionally followed a
- maximum amount of time that may pass before the session key is
- renegotiated. The first argument is specified in bytes and may
- have a suffix of `K', `M', or `G' to indicate Kilobytes,
- Megabytes, or Gigabytes, respectively. The default is between
- `1G' and `4G', depending on the cipher. The optional second
- value is specified in seconds and may use any of the units
- documented in the TIME FORMATS section. The default value for
- RekeyLimit is ``default none'', which means that rekeying is
- performed after the cipher's default amount of data has been sent
- or received and no time based rekeying is done. This option
- applies to protocol version 2 only.
-
- RevokedKeys
- Specifies revoked public keys. Keys listed in this file will be
- refused for public key authentication. Note that if this file is
- not readable, then public key authentication will be refused for
- all users. Keys may be specified as a text file, listing one
- public key per line, or as an OpenSSH Key Revocation List (KRL)
- as generated by ssh-keygen(1). For more information on KRLs, see
- the KEY REVOCATION LISTS section in ssh-keygen(1).
-
- RhostsRSAAuthentication
- Specifies whether rhosts or /etc/hosts.equiv authentication
- together with successful RSA host authentication is allowed. The
- default is ``no''. This option applies to protocol version 1
- only.
-
- RSAAuthentication
- Specifies whether pure RSA authentication is allowed. The
- default is ``yes''. This option applies to protocol version 1
- only.
-
- ServerKeyBits
- Defines the number of bits in the ephemeral protocol version 1
- server key. The minimum value is 512, and the default is 1024.
-
- StrictModes
- Specifies whether sshd(8) should check file modes and ownership
- of the user's files and home directory before accepting login.
- This is normally desirable because novices sometimes accidentally
- leave their directory or files world-writable. The default is
- ``yes''. Note that this does not apply to ChrootDirectory, whose
- permissions and ownership are checked unconditionally.
-
- Subsystem
- Configures an external subsystem (e.g. file transfer daemon).
- Arguments should be a subsystem name and a command (with optional
- arguments) to execute upon subsystem request.
-
- The command sftp-server(8) implements the ``sftp'' file transfer
- subsystem.
-
- Alternately the name ``internal-sftp'' implements an in-process
- ``sftp'' server. This may simplify configurations using
- ChrootDirectory to force a different filesystem root on clients.
-
- By default no subsystems are defined. Note that this option
- applies to protocol version 2 only.
-
- SyslogFacility
- Gives the facility code that is used when logging messages from
- sshd(8). The possible values are: DAEMON, USER, AUTH, LOCAL0,
- LOCAL1, LOCAL2, LOCAL3, LOCAL4, LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7. The
- default is AUTH.
-
- TCPKeepAlive
- Specifies whether the system should send TCP keepalive messages
- to the other side. If they are sent, death of the connection or
- crash of one of the machines will be properly noticed. However,
- this means that connections will die if the route is down
- temporarily, and some people find it annoying. On the other
- hand, if TCP keepalives are not sent, sessions may hang
- indefinitely on the server, leaving ``ghost'' users and consuming
- server resources.
-
- The default is ``yes'' (to send TCP keepalive messages), and the
- server will notice if the network goes down or the client host
- crashes. This avoids infinitely hanging sessions.
-
- To disable TCP keepalive messages, the value should be set to
- ``no''.
-
- TrustedUserCAKeys
- Specifies a file containing public keys of certificate
- authorities that are trusted to sign user certificates for
- authentication. Keys are listed one per line; empty lines and
- comments starting with `#' are allowed. If a certificate is
- presented for authentication and has its signing CA key listed in
- this file, then it may be used for authentication for any user
- listed in the certificate's principals list. Note that
- certificates that lack a list of principals will not be permitted
- for authentication using TrustedUserCAKeys. For more details on
- certificates, see the CERTIFICATES section in ssh-keygen(1).
-
- UseDNS Specifies whether sshd(8) should look up the remote host name and
- check that the resolved host name for the remote IP address maps
- back to the very same IP address. The default is ``yes''.
-
- UseLogin
- Specifies whether login(1) is used for interactive login
- sessions. The default is ``no''. Note that login(1) is never
- used for remote command execution. Note also, that if this is
- enabled, X11Forwarding will be disabled because login(1) does not
- know how to handle xauth(1) cookies. If UsePrivilegeSeparation
- is specified, it will be disabled after authentication.
-
- UsePAM Enables the Pluggable Authentication Module interface. If set to
- ``yes'' this will enable PAM authentication using
- ChallengeResponseAuthentication and PasswordAuthentication in
- addition to PAM account and session module processing for all
- authentication types.
-
- Because PAM challenge-response authentication usually serves an
- equivalent role to password authentication, you should disable
- either PasswordAuthentication or ChallengeResponseAuthentication.
-
- If UsePAM is enabled, you will not be able to run sshd(8) as a
- non-root user. The default is ``no''.
-
- UsePrivilegeSeparation
- Specifies whether sshd(8) separates privileges by creating an
- unprivileged child process to deal with incoming network traffic.
- After successful authentication, another process will be created
- that has the privilege of the authenticated user. The goal of
- privilege separation is to prevent privilege escalation by
- containing any corruption within the unprivileged processes. The
- default is ``yes''. If UsePrivilegeSeparation is set to
- ``sandbox'' then the pre-authentication unprivileged process is
- subject to additional restrictions.
-
- VersionAddendum
- Optionally specifies additional text to append to the SSH
- protocol banner sent by the server upon connection. The default
- is ``none''.
-
- X11DisplayOffset
- Specifies the first display number available for sshd(8)'s X11
- forwarding. This prevents sshd from interfering with real X11
- servers. The default is 10.
-
- X11Forwarding
- Specifies whether X11 forwarding is permitted. The argument must
- be ``yes'' or ``no''. The default is ``no''.
-
- When X11 forwarding is enabled, there may be additional exposure
- to the server and to client displays if the sshd(8) proxy display
- is configured to listen on the wildcard address (see
- X11UseLocalhost below), though this is not the default.
- Additionally, the authentication spoofing and authentication data
- verification and substitution occur on the client side. The
- security risk of using X11 forwarding is that the client's X11
- display server may be exposed to attack when the SSH client
- requests forwarding (see the warnings for ForwardX11 in
- ssh_config(5)). A system administrator may have a stance in
- which they want to protect clients that may expose themselves to
- attack by unwittingly requesting X11 forwarding, which can
- warrant a ``no'' setting.
-
- Note that disabling X11 forwarding does not prevent users from
- forwarding X11 traffic, as users can always install their own
- forwarders. X11 forwarding is automatically disabled if UseLogin
- is enabled.
-
- X11UseLocalhost
- Specifies whether sshd(8) should bind the X11 forwarding server
- to the loopback address or to the wildcard address. By default,
- sshd binds the forwarding server to the loopback address and sets
- the hostname part of the DISPLAY environment variable to
- ``localhost''. This prevents remote hosts from connecting to the
- proxy display. However, some older X11 clients may not function
- with this configuration. X11UseLocalhost may be set to ``no'' to
- specify that the forwarding server should be bound to the
- wildcard address. The argument must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The
- default is ``yes''.
-
- XAuthLocation
- Specifies the full pathname of the xauth(1) program. The default
- is /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth.
-
-TIME FORMATS
- sshd(8) command-line arguments and configuration file options that
- specify time may be expressed using a sequence of the form:
- time[qualifier], where time is a positive integer value and qualifier is
- one of the following:
-
- <none> seconds
- s | S seconds
- m | M minutes
- h | H hours
- d | D days
- w | W weeks
-
- Each member of the sequence is added together to calculate the total time
- value.
-
- Time format examples:
-
- 600 600 seconds (10 minutes)
- 10m 10 minutes
- 1h30m 1 hour 30 minutes (90 minutes)
-
-FILES
- /etc/ssh/sshd_config
- Contains configuration data for sshd(8). This file should be
- writable by root only, but it is recommended (though not
- necessary) that it be world-readable.
