3c0ef626 | 57 | .Sh DESCRIPTION |
58 | .Nm | |
59 | (SSH Daemon) is the daemon program for | |
60 | .Xr ssh 1 . | |
61 | Together these programs replace rlogin and rsh, and | |
62 | provide secure encrypted communications between two untrusted hosts | |
63 | over an insecure network. | |
64 | The programs are intended to be as easy to | |
65 | install and use as possible. | |
66 | .Pp | |
67 | .Nm | |
68 | is the daemon that listens for connections from clients. | |
69 | It is normally started at boot from | |
70 | .Pa /etc/rc . | |
71 | It forks a new | |
72 | daemon for each incoming connection. | |
73 | The forked daemons handle | |
74 | key exchange, encryption, authentication, command execution, | |
75 | and data exchange. | |
76 | This implementation of | |
77 | .Nm | |
78 | supports both SSH protocol version 1 and 2 simultaneously. | |
79 | .Nm | |
6a9b3198 | 80 | works as follows: |
9cb1827b | 81 | .Pp |
3c0ef626 | 82 | .Ss SSH protocol version 1 |
9cb1827b | 83 | .Pp |
3c0ef626 | 84 | Each host has a host-specific RSA key |
85 | (normally 1024 bits) used to identify the host. | |
86 | Additionally, when | |
87 | the daemon starts, it generates a server RSA key (normally 768 bits). | |
88 | This key is normally regenerated every hour if it has been used, and | |
89 | is never stored on disk. | |
90 | .Pp | |
6a9b3198 | 91 | Whenever a client connects, the daemon responds with its public |
3c0ef626 | 92 | host and server keys. |
93 | The client compares the | |
94 | RSA host key against its own database to verify that it has not changed. | |
9cb1827b | 95 | The client then generates a 256 bit random number. |
3c0ef626 | 96 | It encrypts this |
97 | random number using both the host key and the server key, and sends | |
98 | the encrypted number to the server. | |
99 | Both sides then use this | |
100 | random number as a session key which is used to encrypt all further | |
101 | communications in the session. | |
102 | The rest of the session is encrypted | |
103 | using a conventional cipher, currently Blowfish or 3DES, with 3DES | |
104 | being used by default. | |
105 | The client selects the encryption algorithm | |
106 | to use from those offered by the server. | |
107 | .Pp | |
108 | Next, the server and the client enter an authentication dialog. | |
109 | The client tries to authenticate itself using | |
9cb1827b | 110 | .Pa .rhosts |
3c0ef626 | 111 | authentication, |
9cb1827b | 112 | .Pa .rhosts |
3c0ef626 | 113 | authentication combined with RSA host |
114 | authentication, RSA challenge-response authentication, or password | |
115 | based authentication. | |
116 | .Pp | |
0fff78ff | 117 | Regardless of the authentication type, the account is checked to |
118 | ensure that it is accessible. An account is not accessible if it is | |
119 | locked, listed in | |
120 | .Cm DenyUsers | |
121 | or its group is listed in | |
122 | .Cm DenyGroups | |
123 | \&. The definition of a locked account is system dependant. Some platforms | |
124 | have their own account database (eg AIX) and some modify the passwd field ( | |
125 | .Ql \&*LK\&* | |
126 | on Solaris, | |
127 | .Ql \&* | |
128 | on HP-UX, containing | |
129 | .Ql Nologin | |
130 | on Tru64 and a leading | |
131 | .Ql \&!! | |
132 | on Linux). If there is a requirement to disable password authentication | |
133 | for the account while allowing still public-key, then the passwd field | |
134 | should be set to something other than these values (eg | |
135 | .Ql NP | |
136 | or | |
137 | .Ql \&*NP\&* | |
138 | ). | |
139 | .Pp | |
9cb1827b | 140 | Rhosts authentication is normally disabled |
3c0ef626 | 141 | because it is fundamentally insecure, but can be enabled in the server |
142 | configuration file if desired. | |
143 | System security is not improved unless | |
700318f3 | 144 | .Nm rshd , |
145 | .Nm rlogind , | |
3c0ef626 | 146 | and |
6a9b3198 | 147 | .Nm rexecd |
3c0ef626 | 148 | are disabled (thus completely disabling |
700318f3 | 149 | .Xr rlogin |
3c0ef626 | 150 | and |
700318f3 | 151 | .Xr rsh |
3c0ef626 | 152 | into the machine). |
9cb1827b | 153 | .Pp |
3c0ef626 | 154 | .Ss SSH protocol version 2 |
9cb1827b | 155 | .Pp |
3c0ef626 | 156 | Version 2 works similarly: |
157 | Each host has a host-specific key (RSA or DSA) used to identify the host. | |
158 | However, when the daemon starts, it does not generate a server key. | |
159 | Forward security is provided through a Diffie-Hellman key agreement. | |
160 | This key agreement results in a shared session key. | |
161 | .Pp | |
162 | The rest of the session is encrypted using a symmetric cipher, currently | |
9cb1827b | 163 | 128 bit AES, Blowfish, 3DES, CAST128, Arcfour, 192 bit AES, or 256 bit AES. |
3c0ef626 | 164 | The client selects the encryption algorithm |
165 | to use from those offered by the server. | |
166 | Additionally, session integrity is provided | |
167 | through a cryptographic message authentication code | |
168 | (hmac-sha1 or hmac-md5). | |
169 | .Pp | |
170 | Protocol version 2 provides a public key based | |
171 | user (PubkeyAuthentication) or | |
172 | client host (HostbasedAuthentication) authentication method, | |
173 | conventional password authentication and challenge response based methods. | |
9cb1827b | 174 | .Pp |
3c0ef626 | 175 | .Ss Command execution and data forwarding |
9cb1827b | 176 | .Pp |
3c0ef626 | 177 | If the client successfully authenticates itself, a dialog for |
178 | preparing the session is entered. | |
179 | At this time the client may request | |
180 | things like allocating a pseudo-tty, forwarding X11 connections, | |
181 | forwarding TCP/IP connections, or forwarding the authentication agent | |
182 | connection over the secure channel. | |
183 | .Pp | |
184 | Finally, the client either requests a shell or execution of a command. | |
185 | The sides then enter session mode. | |
186 | In this mode, either side may send | |
187 | data at any time, and such data is forwarded to/from the shell or | |
188 | command on the server side, and the user terminal in the client side. | |
189 | .Pp | |
190 | When the user program terminates and all forwarded X11 and other | |
191 | connections have been closed, the server sends command exit status to | |
192 | the client, and both sides exit. | |
193 | .Pp | |
194 | .Nm | |
9cb1827b | 195 | can be configured using command-line options or a configuration |
196 | file. | |
3c0ef626 | 197 | Command-line options override values specified in the |
198 | configuration file. | |
199 | .Pp | |
200 | .Nm | |
201 | rereads its configuration file when it receives a hangup signal, | |
202 | .Dv SIGHUP , | |
203 | by executing itself with the name it was started as, i.e., | |
204 | .Pa /usr/sbin/sshd . | |
205 | .Pp | |
206 | The options are as follows: | |
207 | .Bl -tag -width Ds | |
208 | .It Fl b Ar bits | |
209 | Specifies the number of bits in the ephemeral protocol version 1 | |
210 | server key (default 768). | |
211 | .It Fl d | |
212 | Debug mode. | |
213 | The server sends verbose debug output to the system | |
214 | log, and does not put itself in the background. | |
215 | The server also will not fork and will only process one connection. | |
216 | This option is only intended for debugging for the server. | |
6a9b3198 | 217 | Multiple |
218 | .Fl d | |
219 | options increase the debugging level. | |
3c0ef626 | 220 | Maximum is 3. |
221 | .It Fl e | |
222 | When this option is specified, | |
223 | .Nm | |
224 | will send the output to the standard error instead of the system log. | |
225 | .It Fl f Ar configuration_file | |
226 | Specifies the name of the configuration file. | |
227 | The default is | |
e9a17296 | 228 | .Pa /etc/ssh/sshd_config . |
3c0ef626 | 229 | .Nm |
230 | refuses to start if there is no configuration file. | |
231 | .It Fl g Ar login_grace_time | |
232 | Gives the grace time for clients to authenticate themselves (default | |
41b2f314 | 233 | 120 seconds). |
3c0ef626 | 234 | If the client fails to authenticate the user within |
235 | this many seconds, the server disconnects and exits. | |
236 | A value of zero indicates no limit. | |
237 | .It Fl h Ar host_key_file | |
e9a17296 | 238 | Specifies a file from which a host key is read. |
3c0ef626 | 239 | This option must be given if |
240 | .Nm | |
241 | is not run as root (as the normal | |
e9a17296 | 242 | host key files are normally not readable by anyone but root). |
243 | The default is | |
244 | .Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key | |
245 | for protocol version 1, and | |
246 | .Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key | |
247 | and | |
248 | .Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key | |
249 | for protocol version 2. | |
3c0ef626 | 250 | It is possible to have multiple host key files for |
251 | the different protocol versions and host key algorithms. | |
252 | .It Fl i | |
253 | Specifies that | |
254 | .Nm | |
6a9b3198 | 255 | is being run from |
256 | .Xr inetd 8 . | |
3c0ef626 | 257 | .Nm |
258 | is normally not run | |
259 | from inetd because it needs to generate the server key before it can | |
260 | respond to the client, and this may take tens of seconds. | |
261 | Clients would have to wait too long if the key was regenerated every time. | |
262 | However, with small key sizes (e.g., 512) using | |
263 | .Nm | |
264 | from inetd may | |
265 | be feasible. | |
266 | .It Fl k Ar key_gen_time | |
267 | Specifies how often the ephemeral protocol version 1 server key is | |
268 | regenerated (default 3600 seconds, or one hour). | |
269 | The motivation for regenerating the key fairly | |
9cb1827b | 270 | often is that the key is not stored anywhere, and after about an hour, |
3c0ef626 | 271 | it becomes impossible to recover the key for decrypting intercepted |
272 | communications even if the machine is cracked into or physically | |
273 | seized. | |
274 | A value of zero indicates that the key will never be regenerated. | |
e9a17296 | 275 | .It Fl o Ar option |
276 | Can be used to give options in the format used in the configuration file. | |
277 | This is useful for specifying options for which there is no separate | |
278 | command-line flag. | |
3c0ef626 | 279 | .It Fl p Ar port |
280 | Specifies the port on which the server listens for connections | |
281 | (default 22). | |
e9a17296 | 282 | Multiple port options are permitted. |
283 | Ports specified in the configuration file are ignored when a | |
284 | command-line port is specified. | |
3c0ef626 | 285 | .It Fl q |
286 | Quiet mode. | |
287 | Nothing is sent to the system log. | |
288 | Normally the beginning, | |
289 | authentication, and termination of each connection is logged. | |
290 | .It Fl t | |
291 | Test mode. | |
292 | Only check the validity of the configuration file and sanity of the keys. | |
e9a17296 | 293 | This is useful for updating |
3c0ef626 | 294 | .Nm |
295 | reliably as configuration options may change. | |
296 | .It Fl u Ar len | |
297 | This option is used to specify the size of the field | |
298 | in the | |
299 | .Li utmp | |
300 | structure that holds the remote host name. | |
301 | If the resolved host name is longer than | |
302 | .Ar len , | |
303 | the dotted decimal value will be used instead. | |
304 | This allows hosts with very long host names that | |
305 | overflow this field to still be uniquely identified. | |
306 | Specifying | |
307 | .Fl u0 | |
308 | indicates that only dotted decimal addresses | |
309 | should be put into the | |
310 | .Pa utmp | |
311 | file. | |
312 | .Fl u0 | |
6a9b3198 | 313 | may also be used to prevent |
3c0ef626 | 314 | .Nm |
315 | from making DNS requests unless the authentication | |
316 | mechanism or configuration requires it. | |
317 | Authentication mechanisms that may require DNS include | |
3c0ef626 | 318 | .Cm RhostsRSAAuthentication , |
319 | .Cm HostbasedAuthentication | |
320 | and using a | |
321 | .Cm from="pattern-list" | |
322 | option in a key file. | |
e9a17296 | 323 | Configuration options that require DNS include using a |
324 | USER@HOST pattern in | |
325 | .Cm AllowUsers | |
326 | or | |
327 | .Cm DenyUsers . | |
9cb1827b | 328 | .It Fl D |
329 | When this option is specified | |
330 | .Nm | |
331 | will not detach and does not become a daemon. | |
332 | This allows easy monitoring of | |
333 | .Nm sshd . | |
334 | .It Fl 4 | |
335 | Forces | |
336 | .Nm | |
337 | to use IPv4 addresses only. | |
338 | .It Fl 6 | |
339 | Forces | |
340 | .Nm | |
341 | to use IPv6 addresses only. | |
3c0ef626 | 342 | .El |
343 | .Sh CONFIGURATION FILE | |
344 | .Nm | |
345 | reads configuration data from | |
e9a17296 | 346 | .Pa /etc/ssh/sshd_config |
3c0ef626 | 347 | (or the file specified with |
348 | .Fl f | |
349 | on the command line). | |
f5799ae1 | 350 | The file format and configuration options are described in |
351 | .Xr sshd_config 5 . | |
3c0ef626 | 352 | .Sh LOGIN PROCESS |
353 | When a user successfully logs in, | |
354 | .Nm | |
355 | does the following: | |
356 | .Bl -enum -offset indent | |
357 | .It | |
358 | If the login is on a tty, and no command has been specified, | |
359 | prints last login time and | |
360 | .Pa /etc/motd | |
361 | (unless prevented in the configuration file or by | |
362 | .Pa $HOME/.hushlogin ; | |
363 | see the | |
364 | .Sx FILES | |
365 | section). | |
366 | .It | |
367 | If the login is on a tty, records login time. | |
368 | .It | |
369 | Checks | |
370 | .Pa /etc/nologin ; | |
371 | if it exists, prints contents and quits | |
372 | (unless root). | |
373 | .It | |
374 | Changes to run with normal user privileges. | |
375 | .It | |
376 | Sets up basic environment. | |
377 | .It | |
9cb1827b | 378 | Reads |
379 | .Pa $HOME/.ssh/environment | |
380 | if it exists and users are allowed to change their environment. | |
41b2f314 | 381 | See the |
382 | .Cm PermitUserEnvironment | |
383 | option in | |
384 | .Xr sshd_config 5 . | |
3c0ef626 | 385 | .It |
386 | Changes to user's home directory. | |
387 | .It | |
388 | If | |
389 | .Pa $HOME/.ssh/rc | |
390 | exists, runs it; else if | |
e9a17296 | 391 | .Pa /etc/ssh/sshrc |
3c0ef626 | 392 | exists, runs |
393 | it; otherwise runs xauth. | |
394 | The | |
395 | .Dq rc | |
396 | files are given the X11 | |
397 | authentication protocol and cookie in standard input. | |
398 | .It | |
399 | Runs user's shell or command. | |
400 | .El | |
401 | .Sh AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT | |
402 | .Pa $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys | |
403 | is the default file that lists the public keys that are | |
404 | permitted for RSA authentication in protocol version 1 | |
405 | and for public key authentication (PubkeyAuthentication) | |
406 | in protocol version 2. | |
407 | .Cm AuthorizedKeysFile | |
408 | may be used to specify an alternative file. | |
409 | .Pp | |
410 | Each line of the file contains one | |
411 | key (empty lines and lines starting with a | |
412 | .Ql # | |
413 | are ignored as | |
414 | comments). | |
415 | Each RSA public key consists of the following fields, separated by | |
416 | spaces: options, bits, exponent, modulus, comment. | |
417 | Each protocol version 2 public key consists of: | |
418 | options, keytype, base64 encoded key, comment. | |
41b2f314 | 419 | The options field |
420 | is optional; its presence is determined by whether the line starts | |
421 | with a number or not (the options field never starts with a number). | |
3c0ef626 | 422 | The bits, exponent, modulus and comment fields give the RSA key for |
423 | protocol version 1; the | |
424 | comment field is not used for anything (but may be convenient for the | |
425 | user to identify the key). | |
426 | For protocol version 2 the keytype is | |
427 | .Dq ssh-dss | |
428 | or | |
429 | .Dq ssh-rsa . | |
430 | .Pp | |
431 | Note that lines in this file are usually several hundred bytes long | |
41b2f314 | 432 | (because of the size of the public key encoding). |
3c0ef626 | 433 | You don't want to type them in; instead, copy the |
434 | .Pa identity.pub , | |
435 | .Pa id_dsa.pub | |
436 | or the | |
437 | .Pa id_rsa.pub | |
438 | file and edit it. | |
439 | .Pp | |
700318f3 | 440 | .Nm |
441 | enforces a minimum RSA key modulus size for protocol 1 | |
442 | and protocol 2 keys of 768 bits. | |
443 | .Pp | |
3c0ef626 | 444 | The options (if present) consist of comma-separated option |
445 | specifications. | |
446 | No spaces are permitted, except within double quotes. | |
447 | The following option specifications are supported (note | |
448 | that option keywords are case-insensitive): | |
449 | .Bl -tag -width Ds | |
450 | .It Cm from="pattern-list" | |
41b2f314 | 451 | Specifies that in addition to public key authentication, the canonical name |
3c0ef626 | 452 | of the remote host must be present in the comma-separated list of |
453 | patterns | |
0fff78ff | 454 | .Pf ( Ql \&* |
3c0ef626 | 455 | and |
0fff78ff | 456 | .Ql \&? |
3c0ef626 | 457 | serve as wildcards). |
458 | The list may also contain | |
459 | patterns negated by prefixing them with | |
0fff78ff | 460 | .Ql \&! ; |
3c0ef626 | 461 | if the canonical host name matches a negated pattern, the key is not accepted. |
462 | The purpose | |
41b2f314 | 463 | of this option is to optionally increase security: public key authentication |
3c0ef626 | 464 | by itself does not trust the network or name servers or anything (but |
465 | the key); however, if somebody somehow steals the key, the key | |
466 | permits an intruder to log in from anywhere in the world. | |
467 | This additional option makes using a stolen key more difficult (name | |
468 | servers and/or routers would have to be compromised in addition to | |
469 | just the key). | |
470 | .It Cm command="command" | |
471 | Specifies that the command is executed whenever this key is used for | |
472 | authentication. | |
473 | The command supplied by the user (if any) is ignored. | |
474 | The command is run on a pty if the client requests a pty; | |
475 | otherwise it is run without a tty. | |
6a9b3198 | 476 | If an 8-bit clean channel is required, |
3c0ef626 | 477 | one must not request a pty or should specify |
478 | .Cm no-pty . | |
479 | A quote may be included in the command by quoting it with a backslash. | |
480 | This option might be useful | |
41b2f314 | 481 | to restrict certain public keys to perform just a specific operation. |
3c0ef626 | 482 | An example might be a key that permits remote backups but nothing else. |
483 | Note that the client may specify TCP/IP and/or X11 | |
484 | forwarding unless they are explicitly prohibited. | |
485 | Note that this option applies to shell, command or subsystem execution. | |
486 | .It Cm environment="NAME=value" | |
487 | Specifies that the string is to be added to the environment when | |
488 | logging in using this key. | |
489 | Environment variables set this way | |
490 | override other default environment values. | |
491 | Multiple options of this type are permitted. | |
41b2f314 | 492 | Environment processing is disabled by default and is |
493 | controlled via the | |
494 | .Cm PermitUserEnvironment | |
495 | option. | |
3c0ef626 | 496 | This option is automatically disabled if |
497 | .Cm UseLogin | |
498 | is enabled. | |
499 | .It Cm no-port-forwarding | |
500 | Forbids TCP/IP forwarding when this key is used for authentication. | |
501 | Any port forward requests by the client will return an error. | |
502 | This might be used, e.g., in connection with the | |
503 | .Cm command | |
504 | option. | |
505 | .It Cm no-X11-forwarding | |
506 | Forbids X11 forwarding when this key is used for authentication. | |
507 | Any X11 forward requests by the client will return an error. | |
508 | .It Cm no-agent-forwarding | |
509 | Forbids authentication agent forwarding when this key is used for | |
510 | authentication. | |
511 | .It Cm no-pty | |
512 | Prevents tty allocation (a request to allocate a pty will fail). | |
513 | .It Cm permitopen="host:port" | |
514 | Limit local | |
515 | .Li ``ssh -L'' | |
516 | port forwarding such that it may only connect to the specified host and | |
517 | port. | |
518 | IPv6 addresses can be specified with an alternative syntax: | |
9cb1827b | 519 | .Ar host/port . |
3c0ef626 | 520 | Multiple |
521 | .Cm permitopen | |
0fff78ff | 522 | options may be applied separated by commas. |
523 | No pattern matching is performed on the specified hostnames, | |
524 | they must be literal domains or addresses. | |

3c0ef626 | 534 | .Sh SSH_KNOWN_HOSTS FILE FORMAT |
535 | The | |
6a9b3198 | 536 | .Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts |
3c0ef626 | 537 | and |
538 | .Pa $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts | |
539 | files contain host public keys for all known hosts. | |
540 | The global file should | |
541 | be prepared by the administrator (optional), and the per-user file is | |
542 | maintained automatically: whenever the user connects from an unknown host | |
543 | its key is added to the per-user file. | |
544 | .Pp | |
545 | Each line in these files contains the following fields: hostnames, | |
546 | bits, exponent, modulus, comment. | |
547 | The fields are separated by spaces. | |
548 | .Pp | |
0fff78ff | 549 | Hostnames is a comma-separated list of patterns |
550 | .Pf ( Ql \&* | |
551 | and | |
552 | .Ql \&? | |
553 | act as | |
3c0ef626 | 554 | wildcards); each pattern in turn is matched against the canonical host |
555 | name (when authenticating a client) or against the user-supplied | |
556 | name (when authenticating a server). | |
557 | A pattern may also be preceded by | |
0fff78ff | 558 | .Ql \&! |
3c0ef626 | 559 | to indicate negation: if the host name matches a negated |
560 | pattern, it is not accepted (by that line) even if it matched another | |
561 | pattern on the line. | |
562 | .Pp | |
563 | Bits, exponent, and modulus are taken directly from the RSA host key; they | |
564 | can be obtained, e.g., from | |
e9a17296 | 565 | .Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.pub . |
3c0ef626 | 566 | The optional comment field continues to the end of the line, and is not used. |
567 | .Pp | |
568 | Lines starting with | |
569 | .Ql # | |
570 | and empty lines are ignored as comments. | |
571 | .Pp | |
572 | When performing host authentication, authentication is accepted if any | |
573 | matching line has the proper key. | |
574 | It is thus permissible (but not | |
575 | recommended) to have several lines or different host keys for the same | |
576 | names. | |
577 | This will inevitably happen when short forms of host names | |
578 | from different domains are put in the file. | |
579 | It is possible | |
580 | that the files contain conflicting information; authentication is | |
581 | accepted if valid information can be found from either file. | |
582 | .Pp | |
583 | Note that the lines in these files are typically hundreds of characters | |
584 | long, and you definitely don't want to type in the host keys by hand. | |
585 | Rather, generate them by a script | |
586 | or by taking | |
e9a17296 | 587 | .Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.pub |
3c0ef626 | 588 | and adding the host names at the front. |

695 | This file is used during | |
9cb1827b | 696 | .Pa .rhosts |
3c0ef626 | 697 | authentication. |
698 | In the simplest form, this file contains host names, one per line. | |
699 | Users on | |
700 | those hosts are permitted to log in without a password, provided they | |
701 | have the same user name on both machines. | |
702 | The host name may also be | |
703 | followed by a user name; such users are permitted to log in as | |
704 | .Em any | |
705 | user on this machine (except root). | |
706 | Additionally, the syntax | |

730 | .It Pa /etc/shosts.equiv | |
731 | This is processed exactly as | |
732 | .Pa /etc/hosts.equiv . | |
733 | However, this file may be useful in environments that want to run both | |
734 | rsh/rlogin and ssh. | |
735 | .It Pa $HOME/.ssh/environment | |
