39 | .Dt SSH_CONFIG 5 | |
40 | .Os | |
41 | .Sh NAME | |
42 | .Nm ssh_config | |
43 | .Nd OpenSSH SSH client configuration files | |
44 | .Sh SYNOPSIS | |
45 | .Bl -tag -width Ds -compact | |
46 | .It Pa $HOME/.ssh/config | |
47 | .It Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_config | |
48 | .El | |
49 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | |
50 | .Nm ssh | |
51 | obtains configuration data from the following sources in | |
52 | the following order: | |
53 | command line options, user's configuration file | |
54 | .Pq Pa $HOME/.ssh/config , | |
55 | and system-wide configuration file | |
56 | .Pq Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_config . | |
57 | .Pp | |
58 | For each parameter, the first obtained value | |
59 | will be used. | |
60 | The configuration files contain sections bracketed by | |
61 | .Dq Host | |
62 | specifications, and that section is only applied for hosts that | |
63 | match one of the patterns given in the specification. | |
64 | The matched host name is the one given on the command line. | |
65 | .Pp | |
66 | Since the first obtained value for each parameter is used, more | |
67 | host-specific declarations should be given near the beginning of the | |
68 | file, and general defaults at the end. | |
69 | .Pp | |
70 | The configuration file has the following format: | |
71 | .Pp | |
72 | Empty lines and lines starting with | |
73 | .Ql # | |
74 | are comments. | |
75 | .Pp | |
76 | Otherwise a line is of the format | |
77 | .Dq keyword arguments . | |
78 | Configuration options may be separated by whitespace or | |
79 | optional whitespace and exactly one | |
80 | .Ql = ; | |
81 | the latter format is useful to avoid the need to quote whitespace | |
82 | when specifying configuration options using the | |
83 | .Nm ssh , | |
84 | .Nm scp | |
85 | and | |
86 | .Nm sftp | |
87 | .Fl o | |
88 | option. | |
89 | .Pp | |
90 | The possible | |
91 | keywords and their meanings are as follows (note that | |
92 | keywords are case-insensitive and arguments are case-sensitive): | |
93 | .Bl -tag -width Ds | |
94 | .It Cm Host | |
95 | Restricts the following declarations (up to the next | |
96 | .Cm Host | |
97 | keyword) to be only for those hosts that match one of the patterns | |
98 | given after the keyword. | |
99 | .Ql \&* | |
100 | and | |
101 | .Ql ? | |
102 | can be used as wildcards in the | |
103 | patterns. | |
104 | A single | |
105 | .Ql \&* | |
106 | as a pattern can be used to provide global | |
107 | defaults for all hosts. | |
108 | The host is the | |
109 | .Ar hostname | |
110 | argument given on the command line (i.e., the name is not converted to | |
111 | a canonicalized host name before matching). | |
112 | .It Cm AFSTokenPassing | |
113 | Specifies whether to pass AFS tokens to remote host. | |
114 | The argument to this keyword must be | |
115 | .Dq yes | |
116 | or | |
117 | .Dq no . | |
118 | This option applies to protocol version 1 only. | |
119 | .It Cm BatchMode | |
120 | If set to | |
121 | .Dq yes , | |
122 | passphrase/password querying will be disabled. | |
123 | This option is useful in scripts and other batch jobs where no user | |
124 | is present to supply the password. | |
125 | The argument must be | |
126 | .Dq yes | |
127 | or | |
128 | .Dq no . | |
129 | The default is | |
130 | .Dq no . | |
131 | .It Cm BindAddress | |
132 | Specify the interface to transmit from on machines with multiple | |
133 | interfaces or aliased addresses. | |
134 | Note that this option does not work if | |
135 | .Cm UsePrivilegedPort | |
136 | is set to | |
137 | .Dq yes . | |
138 | .It Cm ChallengeResponseAuthentication | |
139 | Specifies whether to use challenge response authentication. | |
140 | The argument to this keyword must be | |
141 | .Dq yes | |
142 | or | |
143 | .Dq no . | |
144 | The default is | |
145 | .Dq yes . | |
146 | .It Cm CheckHostIP | |
147 | If this flag is set to | |
148 | .Dq yes , | |
149 | ssh will additionally check the host IP address in the | |
150 | .Pa known_hosts | |
151 | file. | |
152 | This allows ssh to detect if a host key changed due to DNS spoofing. | |
153 | If the option is set to | |
154 | .Dq no , | |
155 | the check will not be executed. | |
156 | The default is | |
157 | .Dq yes . | |
158 | .It Cm Cipher | |
159 | Specifies the cipher to use for encrypting the session | |
160 | in protocol version 1. | |
161 | Currently, | |
162 | .Dq blowfish , | |
163 | .Dq 3des , | |
164 | and | |
165 | .Dq des | |
166 | are supported. | |
167 | .Ar des | |
168 | is only supported in the | |
169 | .Nm ssh | |
170 | client for interoperability with legacy protocol 1 implementations | |
171 | that do not support the | |
172 | .Ar 3des | |
173 | cipher. Its use is strongly discouraged due to cryptographic | |
174 | weaknesses. | |
175 | The default is | |
176 | .Dq 3des . | |
177 | .It Cm Ciphers | |
178 | Specifies the ciphers allowed for protocol version 2 | |
179 | in order of preference. | |
180 | Multiple ciphers must be comma-separated. | |
181 | The default is | |
182 | .Pp | |
183 | .Bd -literal | |
184 | ``aes128-cbc,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,cast128-cbc,arcfour, | |
185 | aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc'' | |
186 | .Ed | |
187 | .It Cm ClearAllForwardings | |
188 | Specifies that all local, remote and dynamic port forwardings | |
189 | specified in the configuration files or on the command line be | |
190 | cleared. This option is primarily useful when used from the | |
191 | .Nm ssh | |
192 | command line to clear port forwardings set in | |
193 | configuration files, and is automatically set by | |
194 | .Xr scp 1 | |
195 | and | |
196 | .Xr sftp 1 . | |
197 | The argument must be | |
198 | .Dq yes | |
199 | or | |
200 | .Dq no . | |
201 | The default is | |
202 | .Dq no . | |
203 | .It Cm Compression | |
204 | Specifies whether to use compression. | |
205 | The argument must be | |
206 | .Dq yes | |
207 | or | |
208 | .Dq no . | |
209 | The default is | |
210 | .Dq no . | |
211 | .It Cm CompressionLevel | |
212 | Specifies the compression level to use if compression is enabled. | |
213 | The argument must be an integer from 1 (fast) to 9 (slow, best). | |
214 | The default level is 6, which is good for most applications. | |
215 | The meaning of the values is the same as in | |
216 | .Xr gzip 1 . | |
217 | Note that this option applies to protocol version 1 only. | |
218 | .It Cm ConnectionAttempts | |
219 | Specifies the number of tries (one per second) to make before exiting. | |
220 | The argument must be an integer. | |
221 | This may be useful in scripts if the connection sometimes fails. | |
222 | The default is 1. | |
223 | .It Cm DynamicForward | |
224 | Specifies that a TCP/IP port on the local machine be forwarded | |
225 | over the secure channel, and the application | |
226 | protocol is then used to determine where to connect to from the | |
227 | remote machine. The argument must be a port number. | |
228 | Currently the SOCKS4 protocol is supported, and | |
229 | .Nm ssh | |
230 | will act as a SOCKS4 server. | |
231 | Multiple forwardings may be specified, and | |
232 | additional forwardings can be given on the command line. Only | |
233 | the superuser can forward privileged ports. | |
234 | .It Cm EscapeChar | |
235 | Sets the escape character (default: | |
236 | .Ql ~ ) . | |
237 | The escape character can also | |
238 | be set on the command line. | |
239 | The argument should be a single character, | |
240 | .Ql ^ | |
241 | followed by a letter, or | |
242 | .Dq none | |
243 | to disable the escape | |
244 | character entirely (making the connection transparent for binary | |
245 | data). | |
246 | .It Cm ForwardAgent | |
247 | Specifies whether the connection to the authentication agent (if any) | |
248 | will be forwarded to the remote machine. | |
249 | The argument must be | |
250 | .Dq yes | |
251 | or | |
252 | .Dq no . | |
253 | The default is | |
254 | .Dq no . | |
255 | .It Cm ForwardX11 | |
256 | Specifies whether X11 connections will be automatically redirected | |
257 | over the secure channel and | |
258 | .Ev DISPLAY | |
259 | set. | |
260 | The argument must be | |
261 | .Dq yes | |
262 | or | |
263 | .Dq no . | |
264 | The default is | |
265 | .Dq no . | |
266 | .It Cm GatewayPorts | |
267 | Specifies whether remote hosts are allowed to connect to local | |
268 | forwarded ports. | |
269 | By default, | |
270 | .Nm ssh | |
271 | binds local port forwardings to the loopback address. This | |
272 | prevents other remote hosts from connecting to forwarded ports. | |
273 | .Cm GatewayPorts | |
274 | can be used to specify that | |
275 | .Nm ssh | |
276 | should bind local port forwardings to the wildcard address, | |
277 | thus allowing remote hosts to connect to forwarded ports. | |
278 | The argument must be | |
279 | .Dq yes | |
280 | or | |
281 | .Dq no . | |
282 | The default is | |
283 | .Dq no . | |
284 | .It Cm GlobalKnownHostsFile | |
285 | Specifies a file to use for the global | |
286 | host key database instead of | |
287 | .Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts . | |
288 | .It Cm HostbasedAuthentication | |
289 | Specifies whether to try rhosts based authentication with public key | |
290 | authentication. | |
291 | The argument must be | |
292 | .Dq yes | |
293 | or | |
294 | .Dq no . | |
295 | The default is | |
296 | .Dq no . | |
297 | This option applies to protocol version 2 only and | |
298 | is similar to | |
299 | .Cm RhostsRSAAuthentication . | |
300 | .It Cm HostKeyAlgorithms | |
301 | Specifies the protocol version 2 host key algorithms | |
302 | that the client wants to use in order of preference. | |
303 | The default for this option is: | |
304 | .Dq ssh-rsa,ssh-dss . | |
305 | .It Cm HostKeyAlias | |
306 | Specifies an alias that should be used instead of the | |
307 | real host name when looking up or saving the host key | |
308 | in the host key database files. | |
309 | This option is useful for tunneling ssh connections | |
310 | or for multiple servers running on a single host. | |
311 | .It Cm HostName | |
312 | Specifies the real host name to log into. | |
313 | This can be used to specify nicknames or abbreviations for hosts. | |
314 | Default is the name given on the command line. | |
315 | Numeric IP addresses are also permitted (both on the command line and in | |
316 | .Cm HostName | |
317 | specifications). | |
318 | .It Cm IdentityFile | |
319 | Specifies a file from which the user's RSA or DSA authentication identity | |
320 | is read. The default is | |
321 | .Pa $HOME/.ssh/identity | |
322 | for protocol version 1, and | |
323 | .Pa $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa | |
324 | and | |
325 | .Pa $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa | |
326 | for protocol version 2. | |
327 | Additionally, any identities represented by the authentication agent | |
328 | will be used for authentication. | |
329 | The file name may use the tilde | |
330 | syntax to refer to a user's home directory. | |
331 | It is possible to have | |
332 | multiple identity files specified in configuration files; all these | |
333 | identities will be tried in sequence. | |
334 | .It Cm KeepAlive | |
335 | Specifies whether the system should send TCP keepalive messages to the | |
336 | other side. | |
337 | If they are sent, death of the connection or crash of one | |
338 | of the machines will be properly noticed. | |
339 | However, this means that | |
340 | connections will die if the route is down temporarily, and some people | |
341 | find it annoying. | |
342 | .Pp | |
343 | The default is | |
344 | .Dq yes | |
345 | (to send keepalives), and the client will notice | |
346 | if the network goes down or the remote host dies. | |
347 | This is important in scripts, and many users want it too. | |
348 | .Pp | |
349 | To disable keepalives, the value should be set to | |
350 | .Dq no . | |
351 | .It Cm KerberosAuthentication | |
352 | Specifies whether Kerberos authentication will be used. | |
353 | The argument to this keyword must be | |
354 | .Dq yes | |
355 | or | |
356 | .Dq no . | |
357 | .It Cm KerberosTgtPassing | |
358 | Specifies whether a Kerberos TGT will be forwarded to the server. | |
359 | This will only work if the Kerberos server is actually an AFS kaserver. | |
360 | The argument to this keyword must be | |
361 | .Dq yes | |
362 | or | |
363 | .Dq no . | |
364 | .It Cm LocalForward | |
365 | Specifies that a TCP/IP port on the local machine be forwarded over | |
366 | the secure channel to the specified host and port from the remote machine. | |
367 | The first argument must be a port number, and the second must be | |
368 | .Ar host:port . | |
369 | IPv6 addresses can be specified with an alternative syntax: | |
370 | .Ar host/port . | |
371 | Multiple forwardings may be specified, and additional | |
372 | forwardings can be given on the command line. | |
373 | Only the superuser can forward privileged ports. | |
374 | .It Cm LogLevel | |
375 | Gives the verbosity level that is used when logging messages from | |
376 | .Nm ssh . | |
377 | The possible values are: | |
378 | QUIET, FATAL, ERROR, INFO, VERBOSE, DEBUG, DEBUG1, DEBUG2 and DEBUG3. | |
379 | The default is INFO. DEBUG and DEBUG1 are equivalent. DEBUG2 | |
380 | and DEBUG3 each specify higher levels of verbose output. | |
381 | .It Cm MACs | |
382 | Specifies the MAC (message authentication code) algorithms | |
383 | in order of preference. | |
384 | The MAC algorithm is used in protocol version 2 | |
385 | for data integrity protection. | |
386 | Multiple algorithms must be comma-separated. | |
387 | The default is | |
388 | .Dq hmac-md5,hmac-sha1,hmac-ripemd160,hmac-sha1-96,hmac-md5-96 . | |
389 | .It Cm NoHostAuthenticationForLocalhost | |
390 | This option can be used if the home directory is shared across machines. | |
391 | In this case localhost will refer to a different machine on each of | |
392 | the machines and the user will get many warnings about changed host keys. | |
393 | However, this option disables host authentication for localhost. | |
394 | The argument to this keyword must be | |
395 | .Dq yes | |
396 | or | |
397 | .Dq no . | |
398 | The default is to check the host key for localhost. | |
399 | .It Cm NumberOfPasswordPrompts | |
400 | Specifies the number of password prompts before giving up. | |
401 | The argument to this keyword must be an integer. | |
402 | Default is 3. | |
403 | .It Cm PasswordAuthentication | |
404 | Specifies whether to use password authentication. | |
405 | The argument to this keyword must be | |
406 | .Dq yes | |
407 | or | |
408 | .Dq no . | |
409 | The default is | |
410 | .Dq yes . | |
411 | .It Cm Port | |
412 | Specifies the port number to connect on the remote host. | |
413 | Default is 22. | |
414 | .It Cm PreferredAuthentications | |
415 | Specifies the order in which the client should try protocol 2 | |
416 | authentication methods. This allows a client to prefer one method (e.g. | |
417 | .Cm keyboard-interactive ) | |
418 | over another method (e.g. | |
419 | .Cm password ) | |
420 | The default for this option is: | |
421 | .Dq hostbased,publickey,keyboard-interactive,password . | |
422 | .It Cm Protocol | |
423 | Specifies the protocol versions | |
424 | .Nm ssh | |
425 | should support in order of preference. | |
426 | The possible values are | |
427 | .Dq 1 | |
428 | and | |
429 | .Dq 2 . | |
430 | Multiple versions must be comma-separated. | |
431 | The default is | |
432 | .Dq 2,1 . | |
433 | This means that | |
434 | .Nm ssh | |
435 | tries version 2 and falls back to version 1 | |
436 | if version 2 is not available. | |
437 | .It Cm ProxyCommand | |
438 | Specifies the command to use to connect to the server. | |
439 | The command | |
440 | string extends to the end of the line, and is executed with | |
441 | .Pa /bin/sh . | |
442 | In the command string, | |
443 | .Ql %h | |
444 | will be substituted by the host name to | |
445 | connect and | |
446 | .Ql %p | |
447 | by the port. | |
448 | The command can be basically anything, | |
449 | and should read from its standard input and write to its standard output. | |
450 | It should eventually connect an | |
451 | .Xr sshd 8 | |
452 | server running on some machine, or execute | |
453 | .Ic sshd -i | |
454 | somewhere. | |
455 | Host key management will be done using the | |
456 | HostName of the host being connected (defaulting to the name typed by | |
457 | the user). | |
458 | Note that | |
459 | .Cm CheckHostIP | |
460 | is not available for connects with a proxy command. | |
461 | .Pp | |
462 | .It Cm PubkeyAuthentication | |
463 | Specifies whether to try public key authentication. | |
464 | The argument to this keyword must be | |
465 | .Dq yes | |
466 | or | |
467 | .Dq no . | |
468 | The default is | |
469 | .Dq yes . | |
470 | This option applies to protocol version 2 only. | |
471 | .It Cm RemoteForward | |
472 | Specifies that a TCP/IP port on the remote machine be forwarded over | |
473 | the secure channel to the specified host and port from the local machine. | |
474 | The first argument must be a port number, and the second must be | |
475 | .Ar host:port . | |
476 | IPv6 addresses can be specified with an alternative syntax: | |
477 | .Ar host/port . | |
478 | Multiple forwardings may be specified, and additional | |
479 | forwardings can be given on the command line. | |
480 | Only the superuser can forward privileged ports. | |
481 | .It Cm RhostsAuthentication | |
482 | Specifies whether to try rhosts based authentication. | |
483 | Note that this | |
484 | declaration only affects the client side and has no effect whatsoever | |
485 | on security. | |
486 | Most servers do not permit RhostsAuthentication because it | |
487 | is not secure (see | |
488 | .Cm RhostsRSAAuthentication ) . | |
489 | The argument to this keyword must be | |
490 | .Dq yes | |
491 | or | |
492 | .Dq no . | |
493 | The default is | |
494 | .Dq no . | |
495 | This option applies to protocol version 1 only. | |
496 | .It Cm RhostsRSAAuthentication | |
497 | Specifies whether to try rhosts based authentication with RSA host | |
498 | authentication. | |
499 | The argument must be | |
500 | .Dq yes | |
501 | or | |
502 | .Dq no . | |
503 | The default is | |
504 | .Dq no . | |
505 | This option applies to protocol version 1 only and requires | |
506 | .Nm ssh | |
507 | to be setuid root. | |
508 | .It Cm RSAAuthentication | |
509 | Specifies whether to try RSA authentication. | |
510 | The argument to this keyword must be | |
511 | .Dq yes | |
512 | or | |
513 | .Dq no . | |
514 | RSA authentication will only be | |
515 | attempted if the identity file exists, or an authentication agent is | |
516 | running. | |
517 | The default is | |
518 | .Dq yes . | |
519 | Note that this option applies to protocol version 1 only. | |
520 | .It Cm SmartcardDevice | |
521 | Specifies which smartcard device to use. The argument to this keyword is | |
522 | the device | |
523 | .Nm ssh | |
524 | should use to communicate with a smartcard used for storing the user's | |
525 | private RSA key. By default, no device is specified and smartcard support | |
526 | is not activated. | |
527 | .It Cm StrictHostKeyChecking | |
528 | If this flag is set to | |
529 | .Dq yes , | |
530 | .Nm ssh | |
531 | will never automatically add host keys to the | |
532 | .Pa $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts | |
533 | file, and refuses to connect to hosts whose host key has changed. | |
534 | This provides maximum protection against trojan horse attacks, | |
535 | however, can be annoying when the | |
536 | .Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts | |
537 | file is poorly maintained, or connections to new hosts are | |
538 | frequently made. | |
539 | This option forces the user to manually | |
540 | add all new hosts. | |
541 | If this flag is set to | |
542 | .Dq no , | |
543 | .Nm ssh | |
544 | will automatically add new host keys to the | |
545 | user known hosts files. | |
546 | If this flag is set to | |
547 | .Dq ask , | |
548 | new host keys | |
549 | will be added to the user known host files only after the user | |
550 | has confirmed that is what they really want to do, and | |
551 | .Nm ssh | |
552 | will refuse to connect to hosts whose host key has changed. | |
553 | The host keys of | |
554 | known hosts will be verified automatically in all cases. | |
555 | The argument must be | |
556 | .Dq yes , | |
557 | .Dq no | |
558 | or | |
559 | .Dq ask . | |
560 | The default is | |
561 | .Dq ask . | |
562 | .It Cm UsePrivilegedPort | |
563 | Specifies whether to use a privileged port for outgoing connections. | |
564 | The argument must be | |
565 | .Dq yes | |
566 | or | |
567 | .Dq no . | |
568 | The default is | |
569 | .Dq no . | |
570 | Note that this option must be set to | |
571 | .Dq yes | |
572 | if | |
573 | .Cm RhostsAuthentication | |
574 | and | |
575 | .Cm RhostsRSAAuthentication | |
576 | authentications are needed with older servers. | |
577 | .It Cm User | |
578 | Specifies the user to log in as. | |
579 | This can be useful when a different user name is used on different machines. | |
580 | This saves the trouble of | |
581 | having to remember to give the user name on the command line. | |
582 | .It Cm UserKnownHostsFile | |
583 | Specifies a file to use for the user | |
584 | host key database instead of | |
585 | .Pa $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts . | |
586 | .It Cm XAuthLocation | |
587 | Specifies the location of the | |
588 | .Xr xauth 1 | |
589 | program. | |
590 | The default is | |
591 | .Pa /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth . | |
592 | .El | |
593 | .Sh FILES | |
594 | .Bl -tag -width Ds | |
595 | .It Pa $HOME/.ssh/config | |
596 | This is the per-user configuration file. | |
597 | The format of this file is described above. | |
598 | This file is used by the | |
599 | .Nm ssh | |
600 | client. | |
601 | This file does not usually contain any sensitive information, | |
602 | but the recommended permissions are read/write for the user, and not | |
603 | accessible by others. | |
604 | .It Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_config | |
605 | Systemwide configuration file. | |
606 | This file provides defaults for those | |
607 | values that are not specified in the user's configuration file, and | |
608 | for those users who do not have a configuration file. | |
609 | This file must be world-readable. | |
