1.2 deraadt 81: .Nm
1.96 deraadt 82: (SSH client) is a program for logging into a remote machine and for
1.40 aaron 83: executing commands on a remote machine.
1.175.2.1 brad 84: It is intended to replace rlogin and rsh,
85: and provide secure encrypted communications between
1.40 aaron 86: two untrusted hosts over an insecure network.
1.175.2.1 brad 87: X11 connections and arbitrary TCP/IP ports
88: can also be forwarded over the secure channel.
1.2 deraadt 89: .Pp
90: .Nm
1.44 aaron 91: connects and logs into the specified
1.175.2.1 brad 92: .Ar hostname
93: (with optional
94: .Ar user
95: name).
1.1 deraadt 96: The user must prove
1.49 markus 97: his/her identity to the remote machine using one of several methods
1.175.2.1 brad 98: depending on the protocol version used.
1.49 markus 99: .Pp
1.175.2.1 brad 100: If
101: .Ar command
102: is specified,
103: .Ar command
104: is executed on the remote host instead of a login shell.
1.49 markus 105: .Ss SSH protocol version 1
1.1 deraadt 106: First, if the machine the user logs in from is listed in
1.2 deraadt 107: .Pa /etc/hosts.equiv
1.1 deraadt 108: or
1.2 deraadt 109: .Pa /etc/shosts.equiv
1.1 deraadt 110: on the remote machine, and the user names are
111: the same on both sides, the user is immediately permitted to log in.
1.44 aaron 112: Second, if
1.175.2.1 brad 113: .Pa .rhosts
1.1 deraadt 114: or
1.175.2.1 brad 115: .Pa .shosts
1.1 deraadt 116: exists in the user's home directory on the
117: remote machine and contains a line containing the name of the client
118: machine and the name of the user on that machine, the user is
1.40 aaron 119: permitted to log in.
120: This form of authentication alone is normally not
1.1 deraadt 121: allowed by the server because it is not secure.
1.2 deraadt 122: .Pp
1.107 markus 123: The second authentication method is the
1.175.2.1 brad 124: .Em rhosts
1.1 deraadt 125: or
1.175.2.1 brad 126: .Em hosts.equiv
1.40 aaron 127: method combined with RSA-based host authentication.
128: It means that if the login would be permitted by
1.49 markus 129: .Pa $HOME/.rhosts ,
130: .Pa $HOME/.shosts ,
1.2 deraadt 131: .Pa /etc/hosts.equiv ,
1.1 deraadt 132: or
1.2 deraadt 133: .Pa /etc/shosts.equiv ,
1.11 deraadt 134: and if additionally the server can verify the client's
1.44 aaron 135: host key (see
1.147 deraadt 136: .Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
1.23 markus 137: and
138: .Pa $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts
1.1 deraadt 139: in the
1.2 deraadt 140: .Sx FILES
1.175.2.1 brad 141: section), only then is login permitted.
1.40 aaron 142: This authentication method closes security holes due to IP
143: spoofing, DNS spoofing and routing spoofing.
144: [Note to the administrator:
1.2 deraadt 145: .Pa /etc/hosts.equiv ,
1.49 markus 146: .Pa $HOME/.rhosts ,
1.1 deraadt 147: and the rlogin/rsh protocol in general, are inherently insecure and should be
148: disabled if security is desired.]
1.2 deraadt 149: .Pp
1.44 aaron 150: As a third authentication method,
1.2 deraadt 151: .Nm
1.1 deraadt 152: supports RSA based authentication.
153: The scheme is based on public-key cryptography: there are cryptosystems
154: where encryption and decryption are done using separate keys, and it
155: is not possible to derive the decryption key from the encryption key.
1.40 aaron 156: RSA is one such system.
1.44 aaron 157: The idea is that each user creates a public/private
1.40 aaron 158: key pair for authentication purposes.
159: The server knows the public key, and only the user knows the private key.
1.175.2.1 brad 160: .Pp
1.44 aaron 161: The file
1.2 deraadt 162: .Pa $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
1.175.2.1 brad 163: lists the public keys that are permitted for logging in.
1.40 aaron 164: When the user logs in, the
1.2 deraadt 165: .Nm
1.1 deraadt 166: program tells the server which key pair it would like to use for
1.40 aaron 167: authentication.
1.175.2.1 brad 168: The server checks if this key is permitted, and if so,
169: sends the user (actually the
1.2 deraadt 170: .Nm
1.1 deraadt 171: program running on behalf of the user) a challenge, a random number,
1.40 aaron 172: encrypted by the user's public key.
1.175.2.1 brad 173: The challenge can only be decrypted using the proper private key.
174: The user's client then decrypts the challenge using the private key,
175: proving that he/she knows the private key
176: but without disclosing it to the server.
1.2 deraadt 177: .Pp
178: .Nm
1.40 aaron 179: implements the RSA authentication protocol automatically.
180: The user creates his/her RSA key pair by running
1.2 deraadt 181: .Xr ssh-keygen 1 .
1.44 aaron 182: This stores the private key in
1.49 markus 183: .Pa $HOME/.ssh/identity
1.175.2.1 brad 184: and stores the public key in
1.49 markus 185: .Pa $HOME/.ssh/identity.pub
1.40 aaron 186: in the user's home directory.
187: The user should then copy the
1.2 deraadt 188: .Pa identity.pub
1.44 aaron 189: to
1.49 markus 190: .Pa $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
1.44 aaron 191: in his/her home directory on the remote machine (the
1.2 deraadt 192: .Pa authorized_keys
1.44 aaron 193: file corresponds to the conventional
1.49 markus 194: .Pa $HOME/.rhosts
1.1 deraadt 195: file, and has one key
1.40 aaron 196: per line, though the lines can be very long).
197: After this, the user can log in without giving the password.
1.175.2.1 brad 198: RSA authentication is much more secure than
199: .Em rhosts
200: authentication.
1.2 deraadt 201: .Pp
1.1 deraadt 202: The most convenient way to use RSA authentication may be with an
1.40 aaron 203: authentication agent.
204: See
1.2 deraadt 205: .Xr ssh-agent 1
1.1 deraadt 206: for more information.
1.2 deraadt 207: .Pp
1.44 aaron 208: If other authentication methods fail,
1.2 deraadt 209: .Nm
1.40 aaron 210: prompts the user for a password.
211: The password is sent to the remote
1.1 deraadt 212: host for checking; however, since all communications are encrypted,
213: the password cannot be seen by someone listening on the network.
1.49 markus 214: .Ss SSH protocol version 2
1.175.2.1 brad 215: When a user connects using protocol version 2,
1.145 markus 216: similar authentication methods are available.
1.107 markus 217: Using the default values for
218: .Cm PreferredAuthentications ,
1.123 markus 219: the client will try to authenticate first using the hostbased method;
1.175.2.1 brad 220: if this method fails, public key authentication is attempted,
221: and finally if this method fails, keyboard-interactive and
1.123 markus 222: password authentication are tried.
1.49 markus 223: .Pp
224: The public key method is similar to RSA authentication described
1.107 markus 225: in the previous section and allows the RSA or DSA algorithm to be used:
1.102 itojun 226: The client uses his private key,
1.49 markus 227: .Pa $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa
1.102 itojun 228: or
229: .Pa $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa ,
1.49 markus 230: to sign the session identifier and sends the result to the server.
231: The server checks whether the matching public key is listed in
1.115 markus 232: .Pa $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
1.49 markus 233: and grants access if both the key is found and the signature is correct.
234: The session identifier is derived from a shared Diffie-Hellman value
235: and is only known to the client and the server.
236: .Pp
1.175.2.1 brad 237: If public key authentication fails or is not available, a password
238: can be sent encrypted to the remote host to prove the user's identity.
1.107 markus 239: .Pp
240: Additionally,
241: .Nm
242: supports hostbased or challenge response authentication.
1.49 markus 243: .Pp
244: Protocol 2 provides additional mechanisms for confidentiality
1.175.2.2! brad 245: (the traffic is encrypted using AES, 3DES, Blowfish, CAST128 or Arcfour)
! 246: and integrity (hmac-md5, hmac-sha1, hmac-ripemd160).
1.49 markus 247: Note that protocol 1 lacks a strong mechanism for ensuring the
248: integrity of the connection.
249: .Ss Login session and remote execution
1.1 deraadt 250: When the user's identity has been accepted by the server, the server
251: either executes the given command, or logs into the machine and gives
1.40 aaron 252: the user a normal shell on the remote machine.
253: All communication with
1.1 deraadt 254: the remote command or shell will be automatically encrypted.
1.2 deraadt 255: .Pp
1.1 deraadt 256: If a pseudo-terminal has been allocated (normal login session), the
1.104 djm 257: user may use the escape characters noted below.
1.2 deraadt 258: .Pp
1.175.2.1 brad 259: If no pseudo-tty has been allocated,
260: the session is transparent and can be used to reliably transfer binary data.
1.40 aaron 261: On most systems, setting the escape character to
1.2 deraadt 262: .Dq none
263: will also make the session transparent even if a tty is used.
264: .Pp
1.71 djm 265: The session terminates when the command or shell on the remote
1.92 markus 266: machine exits and all X11 and TCP/IP connections have been closed.
1.175.2.1 brad 267: The exit status of the remote program is returned as the exit status of
1.2 deraadt 268: .Nm ssh .
1.104 djm 269: .Ss Escape Characters
1.175.2.1 brad 270: When a pseudo-terminal has been requested,
271: .Nm
272: supports a number of functions through the use of an escape character.
1.104 djm 273: .Pp
274: A single tilde character can be sent as
275: .Ic ~~
1.119 stevesk 276: or by following the tilde by a character other than those described below.
1.104 djm 277: The escape character must always follow a newline to be interpreted as
278: special.
279: The escape character can be changed in configuration files using the
280: .Cm EscapeChar
1.117 itojun 281: configuration directive or on the command line by the
1.104 djm 282: .Fl e
283: option.
284: .Pp
285: The supported escapes (assuming the default
286: .Ql ~ )
287: are:
288: .Bl -tag -width Ds
289: .It Cm ~.
1.175.2.1 brad 290: Disconnect.

1.110 deraadt 323: If the
324: .Cm ForwardX11
325: variable is set to

1.175.2.1 brad 327: (or see the description of the
1.110 deraadt 328: .Fl X
329: and
330: .Fl x
331: options described later)
332: and the user is using X11 (the
1.2 deraadt 333: .Ev DISPLAY
1.1 deraadt 334: environment variable is set), the connection to the X11 display is
335: automatically forwarded to the remote side in such a way that any X11
336: programs started from the shell (or command) will go through the
337: encrypted channel, and the connection to the real X server will be made
1.40 aaron 338: from the local machine.
339: The user should not manually set
1.2 deraadt 340: .Ev DISPLAY .
1.1 deraadt 341: Forwarding of X11 connections can be
342: configured on the command line or in configuration files.
1.2 deraadt 343: .Pp
344: The
1.44 aaron 345: .Ev DISPLAY
1.2 deraadt 346: value set by
347: .Nm
1.175.2.1 brad 348: will point to the server machine, but with a display number greater than zero.
1.40 aaron 349: This is normal, and happens because
1.2 deraadt 350: .Nm
351: creates a
352: .Dq proxy
353: X server on the server machine for forwarding the
1.1 deraadt 354: connections over the encrypted channel.
1.2 deraadt 355: .Pp
356: .Nm
1.1 deraadt 357: will also automatically set up Xauthority data on the server machine.
358: For this purpose, it will generate a random authorization cookie,
359: store it in Xauthority on the server, and verify that any forwarded
360: connections carry this cookie and replace it by the real cookie when
1.40 aaron 361: the connection is opened.
362: The real authentication cookie is never
1.1 deraadt 363: sent to the server machine (and no cookies are sent in the plain).
1.2 deraadt 364: .Pp
1.163 stevesk 365: If the
366: .Cm ForwardAgent
367: variable is set to
368: .Dq yes
1.175.2.1 brad 369: (or see the description of the
1.163 stevesk 370: .Fl A
371: and
372: .Fl a
1.168 jmc 373: options described later) and
1.163 stevesk 374: the user is using an authentication agent, the connection to the agent
375: is automatically forwarded to the remote side.
1.2 deraadt 376: .Pp
1.1 deraadt 377: Forwarding of arbitrary TCP/IP connections over the secure channel can
1.120 stevesk 378: be specified either on the command line or in a configuration file.
1.40 aaron 379: One possible application of TCP/IP forwarding is a secure connection to an
1.92 markus 380: electronic purse; another is going through firewalls.
1.49 markus 381: .Ss Server authentication
1.2 deraadt 382: .Nm
1.49 markus 383: automatically maintains and checks a database containing
1.40 aaron 384: identifications for all hosts it has ever been used with.
1.116 markus 385: Host keys are stored in
1.49 markus 386: .Pa $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts
1.40 aaron 387: in the user's home directory.
1.116 markus 388: Additionally, the file
1.147 deraadt 389: .Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
1.116 markus 390: is automatically checked for known hosts.
1.40 aaron 391: Any new hosts are automatically added to the user's file.
1.175.2.1 brad 392: If a host's identification ever changes,
1.2 deraadt 393: .Nm
1.1 deraadt 394: warns about this and disables password authentication to prevent a
1.40 aaron 395: trojan horse from getting the user's password.
1.175.2.1 brad 396: Another purpose of this mechanism is to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks
397: which could otherwise be used to circumvent the encryption.
1.40 aaron 398: The
1.2 deraadt 399: .Cm StrictHostKeyChecking
1.158 stevesk 400: option can be used to prevent logins to machines whose
1.1 deraadt 401: host key is not known or has changed.
1.65 aaron 402: .Pp
1.175.2.2! brad 403: .Nm

! 405: records (SSHFP) published in DNS.
! 406: The
! 407: .Cm VerifyHostKeyDNS
! 408: option can be used to control how DNS lookups are performed.
! 409: SSHFP resource records can be generated using
! 410: .Xr ssh-keygen 1 .

590: This works by allocating a socket to listen to
591: .Ar port
592: on the local side, and whenever a connection is made to this port, the

636: (actually, prevents reading from stdin).
1.1 deraadt 637: This must be used when
1.2 deraadt 638: .Nm
1.40 aaron 639: is run in the background.
640: A common trick is to use this to run X11 programs on a remote machine.
641: For example,
1.2 deraadt 642: .Ic ssh -n shadows.cs.hut.fi emacs &
643: will start an emacs on shadows.cs.hut.fi, and the X11
1.1 deraadt 644: connection will be automatically forwarded over an encrypted channel.

1.102 itojun 936: and
937: .Pa $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
1.48 markus 938: file should be added to
1.115 markus 939: .Pa $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
1.48 markus 940: on all machines
1.137 deraadt 941: where the user wishes to log in using protocol version 2 DSA/RSA authentication.
1.48 markus 942: These files are not
1.40 aaron 943: sensitive and can (but need not) be readable by anyone.
1.48 markus 944: These files are
1.84 markus 945: never used automatically and are not necessary; they are only provided for
1.1 deraadt 946: the convenience of the user.
1.2 deraadt 947: .It Pa $HOME/.ssh/config
1.40 aaron 948: This is the per-user configuration file.
1.158 stevesk 949: The file format and configuration options are described in
950: .Xr ssh_config 5 .
1.175.2.2! brad 951: Because of the potential for abuse, this file must have strict permissions:
! 952: read/write for the user, and not accessible by others.
1.2 deraadt 953: .It Pa $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
1.115 markus 954: Lists the public keys (RSA/DSA) that can be used for logging in as this user.
1.40 aaron 955: The format of this file is described in the
1.2 deraadt 956: .Xr sshd 8
1.40 aaron 957: manual page.
1.175.2.1 brad 958: In the simplest form the format is the same as the
959: .Pa .pub
1.116 markus 960: identity files.
1.48 markus 961: This file is not highly sensitive, but the recommended
962: permissions are read/write for the user, and not accessible by others.
1.147 deraadt 963: .It Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
1.40 aaron 964: Systemwide list of known host keys.
1.116 markus 965: This file should be prepared by the
1.1 deraadt 966: system administrator to contain the public host keys of all machines in the
1.40 aaron 967: organization.
968: This file should be world-readable.
969: This file contains
1.1 deraadt 970: public keys, one per line, in the following format (fields separated
1.116 markus 971: by spaces): system name, public key and optional comment field.
1.40 aaron 972: When different names are used
1.1 deraadt 973: for the same machine, all such names should be listed, separated by
1.40 aaron 974: commas.
1.175.2.1 brad 975: The format is described in the
1.2 deraadt 976: .Xr sshd 8
1.1 deraadt 977: manual page.
1.2 deraadt 978: .Pp
1.1 deraadt 979: The canonical system name (as returned by name servers) is used by
1.2 deraadt 980: .Xr sshd 8
1.1 deraadt 981: to verify the client host when logging in; other names are needed because
1.2 deraadt 982: .Nm
1.1 deraadt 983: does not convert the user-supplied name to a canonical name before
984: checking the key, because someone with access to the name servers
985: would then be able to fool host authentication.
1.147 deraadt 986: .It Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_config
1.40 aaron 987: Systemwide configuration file.
1.158 stevesk 988: The file format and configuration options are described in
989: .Xr ssh_config 5 .
1.147 deraadt 990: .It Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key, /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key, /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
1.141 markus 991: These three files contain the private parts of the host keys
992: and are used for
993: .Cm RhostsRSAAuthentication
994: and
995: .Cm HostbasedAuthentication .
1.155 stevesk 996: If the protocol version 1
997: .Cm RhostsRSAAuthentication
1.157 deraadt 998: method is used,
1.155 stevesk 999: .Nm
1000: must be setuid root, since the host key is readable only by root.
1001: For protocol version 2,
1002: .Nm
1003: uses
1004: .Xr ssh-keysign 8
1005: to access the host keys for
1006: .Cm HostbasedAuthentication .
1007: This eliminates the requirement that
1008: .Nm
1009: be setuid root when that authentication method is used.
1010: By default
1.141 markus 1011: .Nm
1.155 stevesk 1012: is not setuid root.
1.2 deraadt 1013: .It Pa $HOME/.rhosts
1014: This file is used in
1.175.2.1 brad 1015: .Em rhosts
1.2 deraadt 1016: authentication to list the
1.40 aaron 1017: host/user pairs that are permitted to log in.
1018: (Note that this file is
1.1 deraadt 1019: also used by rlogin and rsh, which makes using this file insecure.)
1020: Each line of the file contains a host name (in the canonical form
1021: returned by name servers), and then a user name on that host,
1.40 aaron 1022: separated by a space.
1.92 markus 1023: On some machines this file may need to be
1.1 deraadt 1024: world-readable if the user's home directory is on a NFS partition,
1025: because
1.2 deraadt 1026: .Xr sshd 8
1.40 aaron 1027: reads it as root.
1028: Additionally, this file must be owned by the user,
1029: and must not have write permissions for anyone else.
1030: The recommended
1.1 deraadt 1031: permission for most machines is read/write for the user, and not
1032: accessible by others.
1.2 deraadt 1033: .Pp
1.1 deraadt 1034: Note that by default
1.2 deraadt 1035: .Xr sshd 8
1.1 deraadt 1036: will be installed so that it requires successful RSA host
1.175.2.1 brad 1037: authentication before permitting
1038: .Em rhosts
1039: authentication.
1.137 deraadt 1040: If the server machine does not have the client's host key in
1.147 deraadt 1041: .Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts ,
1.137 deraadt 1042: it can be stored in
1.2 deraadt 1043: .Pa $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts .
1044: The easiest way to do this is to
1.1 deraadt 1045: connect back to the client from the server machine using ssh; this
1.48 markus 1046: will automatically add the host key to
1.2 deraadt 1047: .Pa $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts .
1048: .It Pa $HOME/.shosts
1049: This file is used exactly the same way as
1.175.2.1 brad 1050: .Pa .rhosts .
1.2 deraadt 1051: The purpose for
1.1 deraadt 1052: having this file is to be able to use rhosts authentication with
1.2 deraadt 1053: .Nm
1054: without permitting login with
1.175.2.1 brad 1055: .Xr rlogin
1.2 deraadt 1056: or
1057: .Xr rsh 1 .
1058: .It Pa /etc/hosts.equiv
1059: This file is used during
1.175.2.1 brad 1060: .Em rhosts
1.173 jmc 1061: authentication.
1.40 aaron 1062: It contains
1.175.2.1 brad 1063: canonical hosts names, one per line (the full format is described in the
1.2 deraadt 1064: .Xr sshd 8
1.40 aaron 1065: manual page).
1066: If the client host is found in this file, login is
1.1 deraadt 1067: automatically permitted provided client and server user names are the
1.40 aaron 1068: same.
1069: Additionally, successful RSA host authentication is normally
1070: required.
1071: This file should only be writable by root.
1.2 deraadt 1072: .It Pa /etc/shosts.equiv
1.44 aaron 1073: This file is processed exactly as
1.2 deraadt 1074: .Pa /etc/hosts.equiv .
1.1 deraadt 1075: This file may be useful to permit logins using
1.2 deraadt 1076: .Nm
1.1 deraadt 1077: but not using rsh/rlogin.
1.147 deraadt 1078: .It Pa /etc/ssh/sshrc
1.1 deraadt 1079: Commands in this file are executed by
