65 The configuration files contain sections separated by
67 specifications, and that section is only applied for hosts that
68 match one of the patterns given in the specification.
69 The matched host name is the one given on the command line.
71 Since the first obtained value for each parameter is used, more
72 host-specific declarations should be given near the beginning of the
73 file, and general defaults at the end.
75 The configuration file has the following format:
77 Empty lines and lines starting with
80 Otherwise a line is of the format

82 Configuration options may be separated by whitespace or
83 optional whitespace and exactly one

114 a canonicalized host name before matching).
118 for more information on patterns.
120 Specifies which address family to use when connecting.
130 passphrase/password querying will be disabled.
131 This option is useful in scripts and other batch jobs where no user
132 is present to supply the password.

236 .It Cm CompressionLevel
237 Specifies the compression level to use if compression is enabled.
238 The argument must be an integer from 1 (fast) to 9 (slow, best).

310 will be substituted by the local host name,
312 will be substituted by the target host name,
316 by the remote login username.
317 It is recommended that any
319 used for opportunistic connection sharing include
320 at least %h, %p, and %r.
321 This ensures that shared connections are uniquely identified.
322 .It Cm DynamicForward
323 Specifies that a TCP port on the local machine be forwarded
324 over the secure channel, and the application
325 protocol is then used to determine where to connect to from the

408 Agent forwarding should be enabled with caution.
409 Users with the ability to bypass file permissions on the remote host
410 (for the agent's Unix-domain socket)
411 can access the local agent through the forwarded connection.

413 however they can perform operations on the keys that enable them to
414 authenticate using the identities loaded into the agent.
416 Specifies whether X11 connections will be automatically redirected
417 over the secure channel and
427 X11 forwarding should be enabled with caution.
428 Users with the ability to bypass file permissions on the remote host

443 from stealing or tampering with data belonging to trusted X11
447 token used for the session will be set to expire after 20 minutes.

453 See the X11 SECURITY extension specification for full details on
454 the restrictions imposed on untrusted clients.
456 Specifies whether remote hosts are allowed to connect to local
460 binds local port forwardings to the loopback address.
461 This prevents other remote hosts from connecting to forwarded ports.

501 credentials to a session on the server.
504 .It Cm GSSAPITrustDns
506 .Dq yes to indicate that the DNS is trusted to securely canonicalize
507 the name of the host being connected to. If

512 This option only applies to protocol version 2 connections using GSSAPI.
513 .It Cm HashKnownHosts
516 should hash host names and addresses when they are added to
517 .Pa ~/.ssh/known_hosts .
518 These hashed names may be used normally by

917 If this threshold is reached while server alive messages are being sent,
918 ssh will disconnect from the server, terminating the session.
919 It is important to note that the use of server alive messages is very
923 The server alive messages are sent through the encrypted channel
924 and therefore will not be spoofable.
925 The TCP keepalive option enabled by
928 The server alive mechanism is valuable when the client or
929 server depend on knowing when a connection has become inactive.
931 The default value is 3.

959 will never automatically add host keys to the
960 .Pa ~/.ssh/known_hosts
961 file, and refuses to connect to hosts whose host key has changed.
962 This provides maximum protection against trojan horse attacks,
963 though it can be annoying when the
964 .Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
965 file is poorly maintained or when connections to new hosts are
967 This option forces the user to manually
969 If this flag is set to
971 ssh will automatically add new host keys to the
972 user known hosts files.
973 If this flag is set to
976 will be added to the user known host files only after the user
977 has confirmed that is what they really want to do, and

980 known hosts will be verified automatically in all cases.
989 Specifies whether the system should send TCP keepalive messages to the
991 If they are sent, death of the connection or crash of one
992 of the machines will be properly noticed.
993 However, this means that
994 connections will die if the route is down temporarily, and some people
999 (to send TCP keepalive messages), and the client will notice
1000 if the network goes down or the remote host dies.
1001 This is important in scripts, and many users want it too.
