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

1.170 markus 291: .It Cm ~B

1.149 jakob 294: .It Cm ~C
1.186 djm 295: Open command line.
296: Currently this allows the addition of port forwardings using the
1.149 jakob 297: .Fl L
298: and
299: .Fl R
1.186 djm 300: options (see below).
1.188 jmc 301: It also allows the cancellation of existing remote port-forwardings
1.186 djm 302: using
303: .Fl KR Ar hostport .
1.187 djm 304: Basic help is available, using the
305: .Fl h
1.186 djm 306: option.
1.104 djm 307: .It Cm ~R
1.176 jmc 308: Request rekeying of the connection
309: (only useful for SSH protocol version 2 and if the peer supports it).
1.104 djm 310: .El
1.49 markus 311: .Ss X11 and TCP forwarding
1.110 deraadt 312: If the
313: .Cm ForwardX11
314: variable is set to
315: .Dq yes
1.176 jmc 316: (or see the description of the
1.110 deraadt 317: .Fl X
318: and
319: .Fl x
320: options described later)
321: and the user is using X11 (the
1.2 deraadt 322: .Ev DISPLAY
1.1 deraadt 323: environment variable is set), the connection to the X11 display is
324: automatically forwarded to the remote side in such a way that any X11
325: programs started from the shell (or command) will go through the
326: encrypted channel, and the connection to the real X server will be made
1.40 aaron 327: from the local machine.
328: The user should not manually set
1.2 deraadt 329: .Ev DISPLAY .
1.1 deraadt 330: Forwarding of X11 connections can be
331: configured on the command line or in configuration files.
1.2 deraadt 332: .Pp
333: The
1.44 aaron 334: .Ev DISPLAY
1.2 deraadt 335: value set by
336: .Nm
1.176 jmc 337: will point to the server machine, but with a display number greater than zero.
1.40 aaron 338: This is normal, and happens because
1.2 deraadt 339: .Nm
340: creates a
341: .Dq proxy
342: X server on the server machine for forwarding the
1.1 deraadt 343: connections over the encrypted channel.
1.2 deraadt 344: .Pp
345: .Nm
1.1 deraadt 346: will also automatically set up Xauthority data on the server machine.
347: For this purpose, it will generate a random authorization cookie,
348: store it in Xauthority on the server, and verify that any forwarded
349: connections carry this cookie and replace it by the real cookie when
1.40 aaron 350: the connection is opened.
351: The real authentication cookie is never
1.1 deraadt 352: sent to the server machine (and no cookies are sent in the plain).
1.2 deraadt 353: .Pp
1.163 stevesk 354: If the
355: .Cm ForwardAgent
356: variable is set to
357: .Dq yes
1.176 jmc 358: (or see the description of the
1.163 stevesk 359: .Fl A
360: and
361: .Fl a
1.168 jmc 362: options described later) and
1.163 stevesk 363: the user is using an authentication agent, the connection to the agent
364: is automatically forwarded to the remote side.
1.2 deraadt 365: .Pp
1.1 deraadt 366: Forwarding of arbitrary TCP/IP connections over the secure channel can
1.120 stevesk 367: be specified either on the command line or in a configuration file.
1.40 aaron 368: One possible application of TCP/IP forwarding is a secure connection to an
1.92 markus 369: electronic purse; another is going through firewalls.
1.49 markus 370: .Ss Server authentication
1.2 deraadt 371: .Nm
1.49 markus 372: automatically maintains and checks a database containing
1.40 aaron 373: identifications for all hosts it has ever been used with.
1.116 markus 374: Host keys are stored in
1.49 markus 375: .Pa $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts
1.40 aaron 376: in the user's home directory.
1.116 markus 377: Additionally, the file
1.147 deraadt 378: .Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
1.116 markus 379: is automatically checked for known hosts.
1.40 aaron 380: Any new hosts are automatically added to the user's file.
1.176 jmc 381: If a host's identification ever changes,
1.2 deraadt 382: .Nm
1.1 deraadt 383: warns about this and disables password authentication to prevent a
1.40 aaron 384: trojan horse from getting the user's password.
1.176 jmc 385: Another purpose of this mechanism is to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks
386: which could otherwise be used to circumvent the encryption.
1.40 aaron 387: The
1.2 deraadt 388: .Cm StrictHostKeyChecking
1.158 stevesk 389: option can be used to prevent logins to machines whose
1.1 deraadt 390: host key is not known or has changed.
1.194 jakob 391: .Pp
392: .Nm
393: can be configured to verify host identification using fingerprint resource
394: records (SSHFP) published in DNS.
395: The
396: .Cm VerifyHostKeyDNS
397: option can be used to control how DNS lookups are performed.
398: SSHFP resource records can be generated using
399: .Xr ssh-keygen 1 .
1.65 aaron 400: .Pp

1.54 markus 419: .It Fl A
420: Enables forwarding of the authentication agent connection.
421: This can also be specified on a per-host basis in a configuration file.
1.165 stevesk 422: .Pp
1.168 jmc 423: Agent forwarding should be enabled with caution.
424: Users with the ability to bypass file permissions on the remote host
425: (for the agent's Unix-domain socket)
426: can access the local agent through the forwarded connection.
427: An attacker cannot obtain key material from the agent,
1.165 stevesk 428: however they can perform operations on the keys that enable them to
429: authenticate using the identities loaded into the agent.
1.176 jmc 430: .It Fl a
431: Disables forwarding of the authentication agent connection.
1.108 markus 432: .It Fl b Ar bind_address
433: Specify the interface to transmit from on machines with multiple
434: interfaces or aliased addresses.
1.176 jmc 435: .It Fl C
436: Requests compression of all data (including stdin, stdout, stderr, and
437: data for forwarded X11 and TCP/IP connections).
438: The compression algorithm is the same used by
439: .Xr gzip 1 ,
440: and the
441: .Dq level
442: can be controlled by the
443: .Cm CompressionLevel
444: option for protocol version 1.
445: Compression is desirable on modem lines and other
446: slow connections, but will only slow down things on fast networks.
447: The default value can be set on a host-by-host basis in the

459: .Dq des .
1.2 deraadt 460: .Ar 3des
1.189 dtucker 461: (triple-des) is an encrypt-decrypt-encrypt triple with three different keys.
1.44 aaron 462: It is believed to be secure.
1.5 deraadt 463: .Ar blowfish
1.176 jmc 464: is a fast block cipher; it appears very secure and is much faster than
1.40 aaron 465: .Ar 3des .
1.131 stevesk 466: .Ar des

497: .Ed
1.176 jmc 498: .It Fl D Ar port
499: Specifies a local
500: .Dq dynamic
501: application-level port forwarding.
502: This works by allocating a socket to listen to
503: .Ar port
504: on the local side, and whenever a connection is made to this port, the
505: connection is forwarded over the secure channel, and the application
506: protocol is then used to determine where to connect to from the
507: remote machine.
508: Currently the SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 protocols are supported, and
509: .Nm
510: will act as a SOCKS server.
511: Only root can forward privileged ports.
512: Dynamic port forwardings can also be specified in the configuration file.
513: .It Fl e Ar ch | ^ch | none
1.2 deraadt 514: Sets the escape character for sessions with a pty (default:
515: .Ql ~ ) .
1.40 aaron 516: The escape character is only recognized at the beginning of a line.
517: The escape character followed by a dot
1.2 deraadt 518: .Pq Ql \&.
1.176 jmc 519: closes the connection;
520: followed by control-Z suspends the connection;
521: and followed by itself sends the escape character once.
1.40 aaron 522: Setting the character to
1.2 deraadt 523: .Dq none
524: disables any escapes and makes the session fully transparent.
1.176 jmc 525: .It Fl F Ar configfile
526: Specifies an alternative per-user configuration file.
527: If a configuration file is given on the command line,
528: the system-wide configuration file

530: will be ignored.
531: The default for the per-user configuration file is
532: .Pa $HOME/.ssh/config .
1.2 deraadt 533: .It Fl f
534: Requests
535: .Nm
1.40 aaron 536: to go to background just before command execution.
537: This is useful if
1.2 deraadt 538: .Nm
539: is going to ask for passwords or passphrases, but the user
1.40 aaron 540: wants it in the background.
1.44 aaron 541: This implies
1.2 deraadt 542: .Fl n .
1.1 deraadt 543: The recommended way to start X11 programs at a remote site is with
1.2 deraadt 544: something like
545: .Ic ssh -f host xterm .
1.34 markus 546: .It Fl g
547: Allows remote hosts to connect to local forwarded ports.
1.176 jmc 548: .It Fl I Ar smartcard_device
549: Specifies which smartcard device to use.
550: The argument is the device
551: .Nm
552: should use to communicate with a smartcard used for storing the user's
553: private RSA key.
1.2 deraadt 554: .It Fl i Ar identity_file
1.144 stevesk 555: Selects a file from which the identity (private key) for
1.68 markus 556: RSA or DSA authentication is read.
1.144 stevesk 557: The default is
1.49 markus 558: .Pa $HOME/.ssh/identity
1.144 stevesk 559: for protocol version 1, and
560: .Pa $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa
561: and
562: .Pa $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa
563: for protocol version 2.
1.40 aaron 564: Identity files may also be specified on
565: a per-host basis in the configuration file.
566: It is possible to have multiple
1.2 deraadt 567: .Fl i
568: options (and multiple identities specified in
1.1 deraadt 569: configuration files).
1.2 deraadt 570: .It Fl k

1.200 djm 574: .Oo Ar bind_address : Oc
1.176 jmc 575: .Ar port : host : hostport
576: .Sm on
577: .Xc
578: Specifies that the given port on the local (client) host is to be
579: forwarded to the given host and port on the remote side.
580: This works by allocating a socket to listen to
581: .Ar port
1.200 djm 582: on the local side, optionally bound to the specified
583: .Ar bind_address .
584: Whenever a connection is made to this port, the
1.176 jmc 585: connection is forwarded over the secure channel, and a connection is
586: made to
587: .Ar host
588: port
589: .Ar hostport
590: from the remote machine.
591: Port forwardings can also be specified in the configuration file.
592: IPv6 addresses can be specified with an alternative syntax:
593: .Sm off
594: .Xo
1.200 djm 595: .Oo Ar bind_address / Oc
1.176 jmc 596: .Ar port No / Ar host No /
1.200 djm 597: .Ar hostport
1.176 jmc 598: .Xc
599: .Sm on
1.200 djm 600: or by enclosing the address in square brackets.
601: Only the superuser can forward privileged ports.
602: By default, the local port is bound in accordance with the
603: .Cm GatewayPorts
604: setting.
605: However, an explicit
606: .Ar bind_address
607: may be used to bind the connection to a specific address.
608: The
609: .Ar bind_address
610: of
611: .Dq localhost
612: indicates that the listening port be bound for local use only, while an
613: empty address or
614: .Dq *
615: indicates that the port should be available from all interfaces.
1.2 deraadt 616: .It Fl l Ar login_name
1.40 aaron 617: Specifies the user to log in as on the remote machine.
618: This also may be specified on a per-host basis in the configuration file.
1.190 djm 619: .It Fl M

632: (message authentication code) algorithms can
633: be specified in order of preference.
634: See the
635: .Cm MACs
636: keyword for more information.
1.176 jmc 637: .It Fl N
638: Do not execute a remote command.
639: This is useful for just forwarding ports
640: (protocol version 2 only).
1.2 deraadt 641: .It Fl n
642: Redirects stdin from
643: .Pa /dev/null
644: (actually, prevents reading from stdin).
1.1 deraadt 645: This must be used when
1.2 deraadt 646: .Nm
1.40 aaron 647: is run in the background.
648: A common trick is to use this to run X11 programs on a remote machine.
649: For example,
1.2 deraadt 650: .Ic ssh -n shadows.cs.hut.fi emacs &
651: will start an emacs on shadows.cs.hut.fi, and the X11
1.1 deraadt 652: connection will be automatically forwarded over an encrypted channel.
653: The
1.2 deraadt 654: .Nm
1.1 deraadt 655: program will be put in the background.
656: (This does not work if
1.2 deraadt 657: .Nm

671: .Dq exit
672: (request the master to exit).
1.2 deraadt 673: .It Fl o Ar option
1.127 stevesk 674: Can be used to give options in the format used in the configuration file.

1.102 itojun 954: .It Pa $HOME/.ssh/identity, $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa, $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa
955: Contains the authentication identity of the user.
956: They are for protocol 1 RSA, protocol 2 DSA, and protocol 2 RSA, respectively.
1.48 markus 957: These files
958: contain sensitive data and should be readable by the user but not
1.15 markus 959: accessible by others (read/write/execute).
960: Note that
961: .Nm
1.48 markus 962: ignores a private key file if it is accessible by others.
1.15 markus 963: It is possible to specify a passphrase when
1.1 deraadt 964: generating the key; the passphrase will be used to encrypt the
1.8 deraadt 965: sensitive part of this file using 3DES.
1.102 itojun 966: .It Pa $HOME/.ssh/identity.pub, $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa.pub, $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
1.1 deraadt 967: Contains the public key for authentication (public part of the
1.40 aaron 968: identity file in human-readable form).
1.48 markus 969: The contents of the
970: .Pa $HOME/.ssh/identity.pub
1.176 jmc 971: file should be added to the file
1.2 deraadt 972: .Pa $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
973: on all machines
1.137 deraadt 974: where the user wishes to log in using protocol version 1 RSA authentication.
1.48 markus 975: The contents of the
976: .Pa $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
1.102 itojun 977: and
978: .Pa $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
1.48 markus 979: file should be added to
1.115 markus 980: .Pa $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
1.48 markus 981: on all machines
1.137 deraadt 982: where the user wishes to log in using protocol version 2 DSA/RSA authentication.
1.48 markus 983: These files are not
1.40 aaron 984: sensitive and can (but need not) be readable by anyone.
1.48 markus 985: These files are
1.84 markus 986: never used automatically and are not necessary; they are only provided for
1.1 deraadt 987: the convenience of the user.
1.2 deraadt 988: .It Pa $HOME/.ssh/config
1.40 aaron 989: This is the per-user configuration file.
1.158 stevesk 990: The file format and configuration options are described in
991: .Xr ssh_config 5 .
1.183 djm 992: Because of the potential for abuse, this file must have strict permissions:
993: read/write for the user, and not accessible by others.
1.2 deraadt 994: .It Pa $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
1.115 markus 995: Lists the public keys (RSA/DSA) that can be used for logging in as this user.
1.40 aaron 996: The format of this file is described in the
1.2 deraadt 997: .Xr sshd 8
1.40 aaron 998: manual page.
1.176 jmc 999: In the simplest form the format is the same as the
1000: .Pa .pub
1.116 markus 1001: identity files.
1.48 markus 1002: This file is not highly sensitive, but the recommended
1003: permissions are read/write for the user, and not accessible by others.
1.147 deraadt 1004: .It Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
1.40 aaron 1005: Systemwide list of known host keys.
1.116 markus 1006: This file should be prepared by the
1.1 deraadt 1007: system administrator to contain the public host keys of all machines in the
1.40 aaron 1008: organization.
1009: This file should be world-readable.
1010: This file contains
1.1 deraadt 1011: public keys, one per line, in the following format (fields separated
1.116 markus 1012: by spaces): system name, public key and optional comment field.
1.40 aaron 1013: When different names are used
1.1 deraadt 1014: for the same machine, all such names should be listed, separated by
1.40 aaron 1015: commas.
1.176 jmc 1016: The format is described in the
1.2 deraadt 1017: .Xr sshd 8
1.1 deraadt 1018: manual page.
1.2 deraadt 1019: .Pp
1.1 deraadt 1020: The canonical system name (as returned by name servers) is used by
1.2 deraadt 1021: .Xr sshd 8
1.1 deraadt 1022: to verify the client host when logging in; other names are needed because
1.2 deraadt 1023: .Nm
1.1 deraadt 1024: does not convert the user-supplied name to a canonical name before
1025: checking the key, because someone with access to the name servers
1026: would then be able to fool host authentication.
1.147 deraadt 1027: .It Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_config
1.40 aaron 1028: Systemwide configuration file.
1.158 stevesk 1029: The file format and configuration options are described in
1030: .Xr ssh_config 5 .
1.147 deraadt 1031: .It Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key, /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key, /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
1.141 markus 1032: These three files contain the private parts of the host keys
1033: and are used for
1034: .Cm RhostsRSAAuthentication
1035: and
1036: .Cm HostbasedAuthentication .
1.155 stevesk 1037: If the protocol version 1
1038: .Cm RhostsRSAAuthentication
1.157 deraadt 1039: method is used,
1.155 stevesk 1040: .Nm
1041: must be setuid root, since the host key is readable only by root.
1042: For protocol version 2,
1043: .Nm
1044: uses
1045: .Xr ssh-keysign 8
1046: to access the host keys for
1047: .Cm HostbasedAuthentication .
1048: This eliminates the requirement that
1049: .Nm
1050: be setuid root when that authentication method is used.
1051: By default
1.141 markus 1052: .Nm
1.155 stevesk 1053: is not setuid root.
1.2 deraadt 1054: .It Pa $HOME/.rhosts
1055: This file is used in
1.195 markus 1056: .Cm RhostsRSAAuthentication
1057: and
1058: .Cm HostbasedAuthentication
1.2 deraadt 1059: authentication to list the
1.40 aaron 1060: host/user pairs that are permitted to log in.
1061: (Note that this file is
1.1 deraadt 1062: also used by rlogin and rsh, which makes using this file insecure.)
1063: Each line of the file contains a host name (in the canonical form
1064: returned by name servers), and then a user name on that host,
1.40 aaron 1065: separated by a space.
1.92 markus 1066: On some machines this file may need to be
1.1 deraadt 1067: world-readable if the user's home directory is on a NFS partition,
1068: because
1.2 deraadt 1069: .Xr sshd 8
1.40 aaron 1070: reads it as root.
1071: Additionally, this file must be owned by the user,
1072: and must not have write permissions for anyone else.
1073: The recommended
1.1 deraadt 1074: permission for most machines is read/write for the user, and not
1075: accessible by others.
1.2 deraadt 1076: .Pp
1.195 markus 1077: Note that
1.2 deraadt 1078: .Xr sshd 8
1.195 markus 1079: allows authentication only in combination with client host key
1080: authentication before permitting log in.
1.137 deraadt 1081: If the server machine does not have the client's host key in
1.147 deraadt 1082: .Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts ,
1.137 deraadt 1083: it can be stored in
1.2 deraadt 1084: .Pa $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts .
1085: The easiest way to do this is to
1.1 deraadt 1086: connect back to the client from the server machine using ssh; this
1.48 markus 1087: will automatically add the host key to
1.2 deraadt 1088: .Pa $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts .
1089: .It Pa $HOME/.shosts
1090: This file is used exactly the same way as
1.176 jmc 1091: .Pa .rhosts .
1.2 deraadt 1092: The purpose for
1.195 markus 1093: having this file is to be able to use
1094: .Cm RhostsRSAAuthentication
1095: and
1096: .Cm HostbasedAuthentication
1097: authentication without permitting login with
1.176 jmc 1098: .Xr rlogin
1.2 deraadt 1099: or
1100: .Xr rsh 1 .
1101: .It Pa /etc/hosts.equiv
1102: This file is used during
1.195 markus 1103: .Cm RhostsRSAAuthentication
1104: and
1105: .Cm HostbasedAuthentication
1.173 jmc 1106: authentication.
1.40 aaron 1107: It contains
1.176 jmc 1108: canonical hosts names, one per line (the full format is described in the
1.2 deraadt 1109: .Xr sshd 8
1.40 aaron 1110: manual page).
1111: If the client host is found in this file, login is
1.1 deraadt 1112: automatically permitted provided client and server user names are the
1.40 aaron 1113: same.
1.195 markus 1114: Additionally, successful client host key authentication is required.
1.40 aaron 1115: This file should only be writable by root.
1.2 deraadt 1116: .It Pa /etc/shosts.equiv
1.44 aaron 1117: This file is processed exactly as
1.2 deraadt 1118: .Pa /etc/hosts.equiv .
1.1 deraadt 1119: This file may be useful to permit logins using
1.2 deraadt 1120: .Nm
1.1 deraadt 1121: but not using rsh/rlogin.
1.147 deraadt 1122: .It Pa /etc/ssh/sshrc
1.1 deraadt 1123: Commands in this file are executed by
1.2 deraadt 1124: .Nm
1.1 deraadt 1125: when the user logs in just before the user's shell (or command) is started.
1126: See the
1.2 deraadt 1127: .Xr sshd 8
1.1 deraadt 1128: manual page for more information.

1.1 deraadt 1130: Commands in this file are executed by

1.1 deraadt 1132: when the user logs in just before the user's shell (or command) is
1133: started.
