1.1 stevesk 38: .Dt SSHD_CONFIG 5
39: .Os
40: .Sh NAME
41: .Nm sshd_config
42: .Nd OpenSSH SSH daemon configuration file
43: .Sh DESCRIPTION
1.53 jmc 44: .Xr sshd 8
1.1 stevesk 45: reads configuration data from
46: .Pa /etc/ssh/sshd_config
47: (or the file specified with
48: .Fl f
49: on the command line).
50: The file contains keyword-argument pairs, one per line.
1.254 benno 51: For each keyword, the first obtained value will be used.
1.1 stevesk 52: Lines starting with
53: .Ql #
54: and empty lines are interpreted as comments.
1.56 dtucker 55: Arguments may optionally be enclosed in double quotes
56: .Pq \&"
57: in order to represent arguments containing spaces.
1.1 stevesk 58: .Pp
59: The possible
60: keywords and their meanings are as follows (note that
61: keywords are case-insensitive and arguments are case-sensitive):
62: .Bl -tag -width Ds
1.30 djm 63: .It Cm AcceptEnv
64: Specifies what environment variables sent by the client will be copied into
65: the session's
66: .Xr environ 7 .
67: See
68: .Cm SendEnv
1.273 djm 69: and
70: .Cm SetEnv
1.30 djm 71: in
72: .Xr ssh_config 5
73: for how to configure the client.
1.219 jmc 74: The
1.197 dtucker 75: .Ev TERM
1.275 djm 76: environment variable is always accepted whenever the client
1.204 djm 77: requests a pseudo-terminal as it is required by the protocol.
1.30 djm 78: Variables are specified by name, which may contain the wildcard characters
1.51 jmc 79: .Ql *
1.30 djm 80: and
81: .Ql \&? .
1.31 djm 82: Multiple environment variables may be separated by whitespace or spread
1.30 djm 83: across multiple
84: .Cm AcceptEnv
85: directives.
1.31 djm 86: Be warned that some environment variables could be used to bypass restricted
1.30 djm 87: user environments.
88: For this reason, care should be taken in the use of this directive.
89: The default is not to accept any environment variables.
1.37 djm 90: .It Cm AddressFamily
91: Specifies which address family should be used by
1.53 jmc 92: .Xr sshd 8 .
1.37 djm 93: Valid arguments are
1.237 jmc 94: .Cm any
95: (the default),
96: .Cm inet
1.52 jmc 97: (use IPv4 only), or
1.237 jmc 98: .Cm inet6
1.37 djm 99: (use IPv6 only).
1.89 jmc 100: .It Cm AllowAgentForwarding
101: Specifies whether
102: .Xr ssh-agent 1
103: forwarding is permitted.
104: The default is
1.237 jmc 105: .Cm yes .
1.89 jmc 106: Note that disabling agent forwarding does not improve security
107: unless users are also denied shell access, as they can always install
108: their own forwarders.
1.1 stevesk 109: .It Cm AllowGroups
110: This keyword can be followed by a list of group name patterns, separated
111: by spaces.
112: If specified, login is allowed only for users whose primary
113: group or supplementary group list matches one of the patterns.
114: Only group names are valid; a numerical group ID is not recognized.
115: By default, login is allowed for all groups.
1.54 jmc 116: The allow/deny directives are processed in the following order:
117: .Cm DenyUsers ,
118: .Cm AllowUsers ,
119: .Cm DenyGroups ,
120: and finally
121: .Cm AllowGroups .
1.49 jmc 122: .Pp
1.161 jmc 123: See PATTERNS in
1.49 jmc 124: .Xr ssh_config 5
125: for more information on patterns.
1.231 jmc 126: .It Cm AllowStreamLocalForwarding
127: Specifies whether StreamLocal (Unix-domain socket) forwarding is permitted.
1.150 djm 128: The available options are
1.237 jmc 129: .Cm yes
130: (the default)
1.150 djm 131: or
1.237 jmc 132: .Cm all
1.231 jmc 133: to allow StreamLocal forwarding,
1.237 jmc 134: .Cm no
1.231 jmc 135: to prevent all StreamLocal forwarding,
1.237 jmc 136: .Cm local
1.150 djm 137: to allow local (from the perspective of
1.151 jmc 138: .Xr ssh 1 )
139: forwarding only or
1.237 jmc 140: .Cm remote
1.150 djm 141: to allow remote forwarding only.
1.231 jmc 142: Note that disabling StreamLocal forwarding does not improve security unless
1.1 stevesk 143: users are also denied shell access, as they can always install their
144: own forwarders.
1.231 jmc 145: .It Cm AllowTcpForwarding
146: Specifies whether TCP forwarding is permitted.
1.175 millert 147: The available options are
1.237 jmc 148: .Cm yes
149: (the default)
1.175 millert 150: or
1.237 jmc 151: .Cm all
1.231 jmc 152: to allow TCP forwarding,
1.237 jmc 153: .Cm no
1.231 jmc 154: to prevent all TCP forwarding,
1.237 jmc 155: .Cm local
1.175 millert 156: to allow local (from the perspective of
157: .Xr ssh 1 )
158: forwarding only or
1.237 jmc 159: .Cm remote
1.175 millert 160: to allow remote forwarding only.
1.231 jmc 161: Note that disabling TCP forwarding does not improve security unless
1.175 millert 162: users are also denied shell access, as they can always install their
163: own forwarders.
1.1 stevesk 164: .It Cm AllowUsers
165: This keyword can be followed by a list of user name patterns, separated
166: by spaces.
1.14 jmc 167: If specified, login is allowed only for user names that
1.1 stevesk 168: match one of the patterns.
169: Only user names are valid; a numerical user ID is not recognized.
170: By default, login is allowed for all users.
171: If the pattern takes the form USER@HOST then USER and HOST
172: are separately checked, restricting logins to particular
173: users from particular hosts.
1.222 jmc 174: HOST criteria may additionally contain addresses to match in CIDR
175: address/masklen format.
1.54 jmc 176: The allow/deny directives are processed in the following order:
177: .Cm DenyUsers ,
178: .Cm AllowUsers ,
179: .Cm DenyGroups ,
180: and finally
181: .Cm AllowGroups .
1.49 jmc 182: .Pp
1.161 jmc 183: See PATTERNS in
1.49 jmc 184: .Xr ssh_config 5
185: for more information on patterns.
1.149 djm 186: .It Cm AuthenticationMethods
187: Specifies the authentication methods that must be successfully completed
188: for a user to be granted access.
1.281 djm 189: This option must be followed by one or more lists of comma-separated
1.224 djm 190: authentication method names, or by the single string
1.237 jmc 191: .Cm any
1.224 djm 192: to indicate the default behaviour of accepting any single authentication
1.225 jmc 193: method.
1.237 jmc 194: If the default is overridden, then successful authentication requires
1.224 djm 195: completion of every method in at least one of these lists.
1.149 djm 196: .Pp
1.237 jmc 197: For example,
198: .Qq publickey,password publickey,keyboard-interactive
1.149 djm 199: would require the user to complete public key authentication, followed by
200: either password or keyboard interactive authentication.
201: Only methods that are next in one or more lists are offered at each stage,
1.237 jmc 202: so for this example it would not be possible to attempt password or
1.149 djm 203: keyboard-interactive authentication before public key.
1.157 markus 204: .Pp
205: For keyboard interactive authentication it is also possible to
206: restrict authentication to a specific device by appending a
207: colon followed by the device identifier
1.237 jmc 208: .Cm bsdauth ,
209: .Cm pam ,
1.157 markus 210: or
1.237 jmc 211: .Cm skey ,
1.157 markus 212: depending on the server configuration.
213: For example,
1.237 jmc 214: .Qq keyboard-interactive:bsdauth
1.157 markus 215: would restrict keyboard interactive authentication to the
1.237 jmc 216: .Cm bsdauth
1.157 markus 217: device.
1.185 djm 218: .Pp
1.237 jmc 219: If the publickey method is listed more than once,
1.185 djm 220: .Xr sshd 8
221: verifies that keys that have been used successfully are not reused for
222: subsequent authentications.
1.237 jmc 223: For example,
224: .Qq publickey,publickey
225: requires successful authentication using two different public keys.
1.181 djm 226: .Pp
1.149 djm 227: Note that each authentication method listed should also be explicitly enabled
228: in the configuration.
1.251 djm 229: .Pp
230: The available authentication methods are:
231: .Qq gssapi-with-mic ,
232: .Qq hostbased ,
233: .Qq keyboard-interactive ,
234: .Qq none
235: (used for access to password-less accounts when
1.266 jmc 236: .Cm PermitEmptyPasswords
1.251 djm 237: is enabled),
238: .Qq password
239: and
240: .Qq publickey .
1.146 djm 241: .It Cm AuthorizedKeysCommand
1.147 jmc 242: Specifies a program to be used to look up the user's public keys.
1.201 djm 243: The program must be owned by root, not writable by group or others and
244: specified by an absolute path.
245: Arguments to
246: .Cm AuthorizedKeysCommand
1.235 jmc 247: accept the tokens described in the
248: .Sx TOKENS
249: section.
250: If no arguments are specified then the username of the target user is used.
1.201 djm 251: .Pp
252: The program should produce on standard output zero or
1.235 jmc 253: more lines of authorized_keys output (see
254: .Sx AUTHORIZED_KEYS
255: in
1.147 jmc 256: .Xr sshd 8 ) .
1.235 jmc 257: If a key supplied by
258: .Cm AuthorizedKeysCommand
259: does not successfully authenticate
1.146 djm 260: and authorize the user then public key authentication continues using the usual
261: .Cm AuthorizedKeysFile
262: files.
1.237 jmc 263: By default, no
264: .Cm AuthorizedKeysCommand
265: is run.
1.146 djm 266: .It Cm AuthorizedKeysCommandUser
1.237 jmc 267: Specifies the user under whose account the
268: .Cm AuthorizedKeysCommand
269: is run.
1.146 djm 270: It is recommended to use a dedicated user that has no other role on the host
271: than running authorized keys commands.
1.186 djm 272: If
1.181 djm 273: .Cm AuthorizedKeysCommand
1.186 djm 274: is specified but
275: .Cm AuthorizedKeysCommandUser
276: is not, then
277: .Xr sshd 8
278: will refuse to start.
1.1 stevesk 279: .It Cm AuthorizedKeysFile
1.235 jmc 280: Specifies the file that contains the public keys used for user authentication.
1.285 schwarze 281: The format is described in the AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT section of
1.124 djm 282: .Xr sshd 8 .
1.235 jmc 283: Arguments to
1.1 stevesk 284: .Cm AuthorizedKeysFile
1.235 jmc 285: accept the tokens described in the
286: .Sx TOKENS
287: section.
1.1 stevesk 288: After expansion,
289: .Cm AuthorizedKeysFile
290: is taken to be an absolute path or one relative to the user's home
291: directory.
1.133 jmc 292: Multiple files may be listed, separated by whitespace.
1.212 djm 293: Alternately this option may be set to
1.237 jmc 294: .Cm none
1.212 djm 295: to skip checking for user keys in files.
1.133 jmc 296: The default is
1.237 jmc 297: .Qq .ssh/authorized_keys .ssh/authorized_keys2 .
1.202 djm 298: .It Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand
299: Specifies a program to be used to generate the list of allowed
300: certificate principals as per
301: .Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsFile .
302: The program must be owned by root, not writable by group or others and
303: specified by an absolute path.
304: Arguments to
305: .Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand
1.235 jmc 306: accept the tokens described in the
307: .Sx TOKENS
308: section.
309: If no arguments are specified then the username of the target user is used.
1.202 djm 310: .Pp
311: The program should produce on standard output zero or
312: more lines of
313: .Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsFile
314: output.
315: If either
316: .Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand
317: or
318: .Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsFile
319: is specified, then certificates offered by the client for authentication
320: must contain a principal that is listed.
1.235 jmc 321: By default, no
322: .Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand
323: is run.
1.202 djm 324: .It Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsCommandUser
1.235 jmc 325: Specifies the user under whose account the
326: .Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand
327: is run.
1.202 djm 328: It is recommended to use a dedicated user that has no other role on the host
329: than running authorized principals commands.
330: If
331: .Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand
332: is specified but
333: .Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsCommandUser
334: is not, then
335: .Xr sshd 8
336: will refuse to start.
1.121 djm 337: .It Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsFile
338: Specifies a file that lists principal names that are accepted for
339: certificate authentication.
340: When using certificates signed by a key listed in
341: .Cm TrustedUserCAKeys ,
342: this file lists names, one of which must appear in the certificate for it
343: to be accepted for authentication.
1.235 jmc 344: Names are listed one per line preceded by key options (as described in
345: .Sx AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT
346: in
1.125 jmc 347: .Xr sshd 8 ) .
1.124 djm 348: Empty lines and comments starting with
1.121 djm 349: .Ql #
350: are ignored.
351: .Pp
1.235 jmc 352: Arguments to
1.121 djm 353: .Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsFile
1.235 jmc 354: accept the tokens described in the
355: .Sx TOKENS
356: section.
1.121 djm 357: After expansion,
358: .Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsFile
1.235 jmc 359: is taken to be an absolute path or one relative to the user's home directory.
1.138 djm 360: The default is
1.237 jmc 361: .Cm none ,
1.138 djm 362: i.e. not to use a principals file \(en in this case, the username
1.121 djm 363: of the user must appear in a certificate's principals list for it to be
364: accepted.
1.235 jmc 365: .Pp
1.121 djm 366: Note that
367: .Cm AuthorizedPrincipalsFile
368: is only used when authentication proceeds using a CA listed in
369: .Cm TrustedUserCAKeys
370: and is not consulted for certification authorities trusted via
371: .Pa ~/.ssh/authorized_keys ,
372: though the
373: .Cm principals=
374: key option offers a similar facility (see
375: .Xr sshd 8
376: for details).
1.1 stevesk 377: .It Cm Banner
378: The contents of the specified file are sent to the remote user before
379: authentication is allowed.
1.78 djm 380: If the argument is
1.237 jmc 381: .Cm none
1.78 djm 382: then no banner is displayed.
1.1 stevesk 383: By default, no banner is displayed.

405: to after authentication.
1.190 deraadt 406: At session startup
407: .Xr sshd 8
408: checks that all components of the pathname are root-owned directories
409: which are not writable by any other user or group.
1.106 stevesk 410: After the chroot,
411: .Xr sshd 8
412: changes the working directory to the user's home directory.
1.235 jmc 413: Arguments to
414: .Cm ChrootDirectory
415: accept the tokens described in the
416: .Sx TOKENS
417: section.
1.80 djm 418: .Pp
419: The
420: .Cm ChrootDirectory
421: must contain the necessary files and directories to support the
1.103 stevesk 422: user's session.
1.80 djm 423: For an interactive session this requires at least a shell, typically
424: .Xr sh 1 ,
425: and basic
426: .Pa /dev
427: nodes such as
428: .Xr null 4 ,
429: .Xr zero 4 ,
430: .Xr stdin 4 ,
431: .Xr stdout 4 ,
432: .Xr stderr 4 ,

1.80 djm 434: .Xr tty 4
435: devices.
1.237 jmc 436: For file transfer sessions using SFTP
437: no additional configuration of the environment is necessary if the in-process
438: sftp-server is used,
1.176 schwarze 439: though sessions which use logging may require
1.104 stevesk 440: .Pa /dev/log
1.176 schwarze 441: inside the chroot directory on some operating systems (see
1.104 stevesk 442: .Xr sftp-server 8
1.81 jmc 443: for details).
1.190 deraadt 444: .Pp
1.191 jmc 445: For safety, it is very important that the directory hierarchy be
1.190 deraadt 446: prevented from modification by other processes on the system (especially
447: those outside the jail).
448: Misconfiguration can lead to unsafe environments which
449: .Xr sshd 8
450: cannot detect.
1.80 djm 451: .Pp
1.215 djm 452: The default is
1.237 jmc 453: .Cm none ,
1.215 djm 454: indicating not to
1.80 djm 455: .Xr chroot 2 .
1.1 stevesk 456: .It Cm Ciphers
1.219 jmc 457: Specifies the ciphers allowed.

1.289 naddy 459: If the specified list begins with a
1.208 djm 460: .Sq +
461: character, then the specified ciphers will be appended to the default set
462: instead of replacing them.
1.289 naddy 463: If the specified list begins with a
1.242 djm 464: .Sq -
465: character, then the specified ciphers (including wildcards) will be removed
466: from the default set instead of replacing them.
1.290 ! naddy 467: If the specified list begins with a
! 468: .Sq ^
! 469: character, then the specified ciphers will be placed at the head of the
! 470: default set.
1.208 djm 471: .Pp
1.167 djm 472: The supported ciphers are:
473: .Pp
1.173 naddy 474: .Bl -item -compact -offset indent
475: .It

1.52 jmc 1536: .Xr sshd 8
1.1 stevesk 1537: should check file modes and ownership of the
1538: user's files and home directory before accepting login.
1539: This is normally desirable because novices sometimes accidentally leave their
1540: directory or files world-writable.
1541: The default is
1.237 jmc 1542: .Cm yes .
1.112 djm 1543: Note that this does not apply to

1568: The default is AUTH.
1.27 markus 1569: .It Cm TCPKeepAlive
1570: Specifies whether the system should send TCP keepalive messages to the
1571: other side.
1572: If they are sent, death of the connection or crash of one
1573: of the machines will be properly noticed.
1574: However, this means that
1575: connections will die if the route is down temporarily, and some people
1576: find it annoying.
1577: On the other hand, if TCP keepalives are not sent,
1578: sessions may hang indefinitely on the server, leaving
1.237 jmc 1579: .Qq ghost
1.27 markus 1580: users and consuming server resources.
1581: .Pp
1582: The default is
1.237 jmc 1583: .Cm yes
1.27 markus 1584: (to send TCP keepalive messages), and the server will notice
1585: if the network goes down or the client host crashes.
1586: This avoids infinitely hanging sessions.
1587: .Pp
1588: To disable TCP keepalive messages, the value should be set to

1.119 jmc 1595: Keys are listed one per line; empty lines and comments starting with
1.118 djm 1596: .Ql #
1597: are allowed.
1598: If a certificate is presented for authentication and has its signing CA key
1599: listed in this file, then it may be used for authentication for any user
1600: listed in the certificate's principals list.
1601: Note that certificates that lack a list of principals will not be permitted
1602: for authentication using
1603: .Cm TrustedUserCAKeys .
1.161 jmc 1604: For more details on certificates, see the CERTIFICATES section in
1.118 djm 1605: .Xr ssh-keygen 1 .
1.18 markus 1606: .It Cm UseDNS
1607: Specifies whether
1.52 jmc 1608: .Xr sshd 8
1.207 djm 1609: should look up the remote host name, and to check that

1611: very same IP address.
1.207 djm 1612: .Pp
1613: If this option is set to
1.237 jmc 1614: .Cm no
1.207 djm 1615: (the default) then only addresses and not host names may be used in
1.221 djm 1616: .Pa ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
1.207 djm 1617: .Cm from
1618: and
1.211 jmc 1619: .Nm

1622: directives.
1.137 djm 1623: .It Cm VersionAddendum
1624: Optionally specifies additional text to append to the SSH protocol banner
1625: sent by the server upon connection.

1.237 jmc 1627: .Cm none .
1.1 stevesk 1628: .It Cm X11DisplayOffset
1629: Specifies the first display number available for
1.52 jmc 1630: .Xr sshd 8 Ns 's
1.1 stevesk 1631: X11 forwarding.
1.52 jmc 1632: This prevents sshd from interfering with real X11 servers.
1.1 stevesk 1633: The default is 10.
1634: .It Cm X11Forwarding
1635: Specifies whether X11 forwarding is permitted.

1.237 jmc 1639: .Cm no .
1.1 stevesk 1640: The default is
1.237 jmc 1641: .Cm no .
1.13 stevesk 1642: .Pp
1643: When X11 forwarding is enabled, there may be additional exposure to
1644: the server and to client displays if the
1.52 jmc 1645: .Xr sshd 8
1.13 stevesk 1646: proxy display is configured to listen on the wildcard address (see
1.237 jmc 1647: .Cm X11UseLocalhost ) ,
1648: though this is not the default.
1.13 stevesk 1649: Additionally, the authentication spoofing and authentication data
1650: verification and substitution occur on the client side.
1651: The security risk of using X11 forwarding is that the client's X11
1.52 jmc 1652: display server may be exposed to attack when the SSH client requests
1.13 stevesk 1653: forwarding (see the warnings for
1654: .Cm ForwardX11
1655: in
1.19 jmc 1656: .Xr ssh_config 5 ) .
1.13 stevesk 1657: A system administrator may have a stance in which they want to
1658: protect clients that may expose themselves to attack by unwittingly
1659: requesting X11 forwarding, which can warrant a
1.237 jmc 1660: .Cm no
1.13 stevesk 1661: setting.
1662: .Pp
1663: Note that disabling X11 forwarding does not prevent users from
1664: forwarding X11 traffic, as users can always install their own forwarders.
1.1 stevesk 1665: .It Cm X11UseLocalhost
1666: Specifies whether
1.52 jmc 1667: .Xr sshd 8
1.1 stevesk 1668: should bind the X11 forwarding server to the loopback address or to
1.15 jmc 1669: the wildcard address.
1670: By default,
1.52 jmc 1671: sshd binds the forwarding server to the loopback address and sets the
1.1 stevesk 1672: hostname part of the
1673: .Ev DISPLAY
1674: environment variable to
1.237 jmc 1675: .Cm localhost .
1.8 stevesk 1676: This prevents remote hosts from connecting to the proxy display.
1.1 stevesk 1677: However, some older X11 clients may not function with this
1678: configuration.
1679: .Cm X11UseLocalhost
1680: may be set to
1.237 jmc 1681: .Cm no
1.1 stevesk 1682: to specify that the forwarding server should be bound to the wildcard
1683: address.
1684: The argument must be
