1.2       deraadt    56: .Nm
1.40      aaron      57: (Secure Shell Daemon) is the daemon program for
1.2       deraadt    58: .Xr ssh 1 .
1.42      hugh       59: Together these programs replace rlogin and rsh, and
1.1       deraadt    60: provide secure encrypted communications between two untrusted hosts
1.36      aaron      61: over an insecure network.
                     62: The programs are intended to be as easy to
1.1       deraadt    63: install and use as possible.
1.2       deraadt    64: .Pp
                     65: .Nm
1.36      aaron      66: is the daemon that listens for connections from clients.
1.40      aaron      67: It is normally started at boot from
1.2       deraadt    68: .Pa /etc/rc .
                     69: It forks a new
1.36      aaron      70: daemon for each incoming connection.
                     71: The forked daemons handle
1.1       deraadt    72: key exchange, encryption, authentication, command execution,
                     73: and data exchange.
1.49      markus     74: This implementation of
                     75: .Nm
                     76: supports both SSH protocol version 1 and 2 simultaneously.
1.2       deraadt    77: .Nm
1.36      aaron      78: works as follows.
1.49      markus     79: .Pp
                     80: .Ss SSH protocol version 1
                     81: .Pp
1.36      aaron      82: Each host has a host-specific RSA key
                     83: (normally 1024 bits) used to identify the host.
                     84: Additionally, when
1.1       deraadt    85: the daemon starts, it generates a server RSA key (normally 768 bits).
                     86: This key is normally regenerated every hour if it has been used, and
                     87: is never stored on disk.
1.2       deraadt    88: .Pp
1.42      hugh       89: Whenever a client connects the daemon responds with its public
                     90: host and server keys.
1.36      aaron      91: The client compares the
1.49      markus     92: RSA host key against its own database to verify that it has not changed.
1.36      aaron      93: The client then generates a 256 bit random number.
                     94: It encrypts this
1.1       deraadt    95: random number using both the host key and the server key, and sends
1.36      aaron      96: the encrypted number to the server.
1.42      hugh       97: Both sides then use this
1.1       deraadt    98: random number as a session key which is used to encrypt all further
1.36      aaron      99: communications in the session.
                    100: The rest of the session is encrypted
1.42      hugh      101: using a conventional cipher, currently Blowfish or 3DES, with 3DES
1.39      deraadt   102: being used by default.
1.36      aaron     103: The client selects the encryption algorithm
1.5       deraadt   104: to use from those offered by the server.
1.2       deraadt   105: .Pp
1.36      aaron     106: Next, the server and the client enter an authentication dialog.
                    107: The client tries to authenticate itself using
1.2       deraadt   108: .Pa .rhosts
                    109: authentication,
                    110: .Pa .rhosts
                    111: authentication combined with RSA host
1.1       deraadt   112: authentication, RSA challenge-response authentication, or password
                    113: based authentication.
1.2       deraadt   114: .Pp
1.1       deraadt   115: Rhosts authentication is normally disabled
                    116: because it is fundamentally insecure, but can be enabled in the server
1.36      aaron     117: configuration file if desired.
                    118: System security is not improved unless
1.2       deraadt   119: .Xr rshd 8 ,
                    120: .Xr rlogind 8 ,
                    121: .Xr rexecd 8 ,
                    122: and
                    123: .Xr rexd 8
1.1       deraadt   124: are disabled (thus completely disabling
1.2       deraadt   125: .Xr rlogin 1
1.1       deraadt   126: and
1.2       deraadt   127: .Xr rsh 1
1.42      hugh      128: into the machine).
1.2       deraadt   129: .Pp
1.49      markus    130: .Ss SSH protocol version 2
                    131: .Pp
1.58      deraadt   132: Version 2 works similarly:
1.49      markus    133: Each host has a host-specific DSA key used to identify the host.
                    134: However, when the daemon starts, it does not generate a server key.
                    135: Forward security is provided through a Diffie-Hellman key agreement.
                    136: This key agreement results in a shared session key.
                    137: The rest of the session is encrypted
                    138: using a symmetric cipher, currently
                    139: Blowfish, 3DES or CAST128 in CBC mode or Arcfour.
                    140: The client selects the encryption algorithm
                    141: to use from those offered by the server.
                    142: Additionally, session integrity is provided
1.51      hugh      143: through a cryptographic message authentication code
1.49      markus    144: (hmac-sha1 or hmac-md5).
                    145: .Pp
                    146: Protocol version 2 provides a public key based
                    147: user authentication method (DSAAuthentication)
                    148: and conventional password authentication.
                    149: .Pp
                    150: .Ss Command execution and data forwarding
                    151: .Pp
1.1       deraadt   152: If the client successfully authenticates itself, a dialog for
1.36      aaron     153: preparing the session is entered.
                    154: At this time the client may request
1.1       deraadt   155: things like allocating a pseudo-tty, forwarding X11 connections,
                    156: forwarding TCP/IP connections, or forwarding the authentication agent
                    157: connection over the secure channel.
1.2       deraadt   158: .Pp
1.1       deraadt   159: Finally, the client either requests a shell or execution of a command.
1.36      aaron     160: The sides then enter session mode.
                    161: In this mode, either side may send
1.1       deraadt   162: data at any time, and such data is forwarded to/from the shell or
                    163: command on the server side, and the user terminal in the client side.
1.2       deraadt   164: .Pp
1.1       deraadt   165: When the user program terminates and all forwarded X11 and other
                    166: connections have been closed, the server sends command exit status to
                    167: the client, and both sides exit.
1.2       deraadt   168: .Pp
                    169: .Nm
1.1       deraadt   170: can be configured using command-line options or a configuration
1.36      aaron     171: file.
                    172: Command-line options override values specified in the
1.1       deraadt   173: configuration file.
1.25      markus    174: .Pp
                    175: .Nm
                    176: rereads its configuration file when it receives a hangup signal,

1.36      aaron     185: Debug mode.
                    186: The server sends verbose debug output to the system
                    187: log, and does not put itself in the background.
                    188: The server also will not fork and will only process one connection.
                    189: This option is only intended for debugging for the server.
1.67      aaron     190: Multiple -d options increases the debugging level.
                    191: Maximum is 3.
1.2       deraadt   192: .It Fl f Ar configuration_file
1.36      aaron     193: Specifies the name of the configuration file.
                    194: The default is
1.2       deraadt   195: .Pa /etc/sshd_config .
1.16      markus    196: .Nm
                    197: refuses to start if there is no configuration file.
1.2       deraadt   198: .It Fl g Ar login_grace_time
1.1       deraadt   199: Gives the grace time for clients to authenticate themselves (default
1.36      aaron     200: 300 seconds).
                    201: If the client fails to authenticate the user within
                    202: this many seconds, the server disconnects and exits.
                    203: A value of zero indicates no limit.
1.2       deraadt   204: .It Fl h Ar host_key_file
1.49      markus    205: Specifies the file from which the RSA host key is read (default
1.2       deraadt   206: .Pa /etc/ssh_host_key ) .
1.7       markus    207: This option must be given if
                    208: .Nm

1.2       deraadt   211: .It Fl i
1.7       markus    212: Specifies that

1.40      aaron     214: is being run from inetd.
1.7       markus    215: .Nm
                    216: is normally not run
1.1       deraadt   217: from inetd because it needs to generate the server key before it can
1.36      aaron     218: respond to the client, and this may take tens of seconds.
                    219: Clients would have to wait too long if the key was regenerated every time.
1.35      aaron     220: However, with small key sizes (e.g., 512) using
1.7       markus    221: .Nm
                    222: from inetd may

1.2       deraadt   224: .It Fl k Ar key_gen_time
1.1       deraadt   225: Specifies how often the server key is regenerated (default 3600
1.36      aaron     226: seconds, or one hour).
                    227: The motivation for regenerating the key fairly
1.1       deraadt   228: often is that the key is not stored anywhere, and after about an hour,
                    229: it becomes impossible to recover the key for decrypting intercepted
                    230: communications even if the machine is cracked into or physically
1.36      aaron     231: seized.
                    232: A value of zero indicates that the key will never be regenerated.
1.2       deraadt   233: .It Fl p Ar port
1.1       deraadt   234: Specifies the port on which the server listens for connections
                    235: (default 22).
1.2       deraadt   236: .It Fl q
1.36      aaron     237: Quiet mode.
                    238: Nothing is sent to the system log.
                    239: Normally the beginning,
1.1       deraadt   240: authentication, and termination of each connection is logged.
1.61      markus    241: .It Fl u Ar len
                    242: This option is used to specify the size of the field
                    243: in the
                    244: .Li utmp
                    245: structure that holds the remote host name.
                    246: If the resolved host name is longer than
                    247: .Ar len ,
                    248: the dotted decimal value will be used instead.
