f54651ce | 55 | .Sh DESCRIPTION |
bf740959 | 56 | .Nm |
2c86906e | 57 | (SSH Daemon) is the daemon program for |
bf740959 | 58 | .Xr ssh 1 . |
3189621b | 59 | Together these programs replace rlogin and rsh, and |
bf740959 | 60 | provide secure encrypted communications between two untrusted hosts |
4fe2af09 | 61 | over an insecure network. |
62 | The programs are intended to be as easy to | |
bf740959 | 63 | install and use as possible. |
64 | .Pp | |
65 | .Nm | |
4fe2af09 | 66 | is the daemon that listens for connections from clients. |
f54651ce | 67 | It is normally started at boot from |
bf740959 | 68 | .Pa /etc/rc . |
69 | It forks a new | |
4fe2af09 | 70 | daemon for each incoming connection. |
71 | The forked daemons handle | |
bf740959 | 72 | key exchange, encryption, authentication, command execution, |
73 | and data exchange. | |
1d1ffb87 | 74 | This implementation of |
75 | .Nm | |
76 | supports both SSH protocol version 1 and 2 simultaneously. | |
bf740959 | 77 | .Nm |
4fe2af09 | 78 | works as follows. |
1d1ffb87 | 79 | .Pp |
80 | .Ss SSH protocol version 1 | |
81 | .Pp | |
4fe2af09 | 82 | Each host has a host-specific RSA key |
83 | (normally 1024 bits) used to identify the host. | |
84 | Additionally, when | |
bf740959 | 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. | |
88 | .Pp | |
3189621b | 89 | Whenever a client connects the daemon responds with its public |
90 | host and server keys. | |
4fe2af09 | 91 | The client compares the |
1d1ffb87 | 92 | RSA host key against its own database to verify that it has not changed. |
4fe2af09 | 93 | The client then generates a 256 bit random number. |
94 | It encrypts this | |
bf740959 | 95 | random number using both the host key and the server key, and sends |
4fe2af09 | 96 | the encrypted number to the server. |
3189621b | 97 | Both sides then use this |
bf740959 | 98 | random number as a session key which is used to encrypt all further |
4fe2af09 | 99 | communications in the session. |
100 | The rest of the session is encrypted | |
3189621b | 101 | using a conventional cipher, currently Blowfish or 3DES, with 3DES |
7368a6c8 | 102 | being used by default. |
4fe2af09 | 103 | The client selects the encryption algorithm |
bf740959 | 104 | to use from those offered by the server. |
105 | .Pp | |
4fe2af09 | 106 | Next, the server and the client enter an authentication dialog. |
107 | The client tries to authenticate itself using | |
bf740959 | 108 | .Pa .rhosts |
109 | authentication, | |
110 | .Pa .rhosts | |
111 | authentication combined with RSA host | |
112 | authentication, RSA challenge-response authentication, or password | |
113 | based authentication. | |
114 | .Pp | |
115 | Rhosts authentication is normally disabled | |
116 | because it is fundamentally insecure, but can be enabled in the server | |
4fe2af09 | 117 | configuration file if desired. |
118 | System security is not improved unless | |
7e276482 | 119 | .Nm rshd , |
120 | .Nm rlogind , | |
bf740959 | 121 | and |
7e276482 | 122 | .Xr rexecd |
bf740959 | 123 | are disabled (thus completely disabling |
7e276482 | 124 | .Xr rlogin |
bf740959 | 125 | and |
7e276482 | 126 | .Xr rsh |
3189621b | 127 | into the machine). |
bf740959 | 128 | .Pp |
1d1ffb87 | 129 | .Ss SSH protocol version 2 |
130 | .Pp | |
c345cf9d | 131 | Version 2 works similarly: |
7f19f8bb | 132 | Each host has a host-specific key (RSA or DSA) used to identify the host. |
1d1ffb87 | 133 | However, when the daemon starts, it does not generate a server key. |
134 | Forward security is provided through a Diffie-Hellman key agreement. | |
135 | This key agreement results in a shared session key. | |
da89cf4d | 136 | .Pp |
51c251f0 | 137 | The rest of the session is encrypted using a symmetric cipher, currently |
da89cf4d | 138 | 128 bit AES, Blowfish, 3DES, CAST128, Arcfour, 192 bit AES, or 256 bit AES. |
1d1ffb87 | 139 | The client selects the encryption algorithm |
140 | to use from those offered by the server. | |
141 | Additionally, session integrity is provided | |
d0c832f3 | 142 | through a cryptographic message authentication code |
1d1ffb87 | 143 | (hmac-sha1 or hmac-md5). |
144 | .Pp | |
145 | Protocol version 2 provides a public key based | |
da89cf4d | 146 | user (PubkeyAuthentication) or |
147 | client host (HostbasedAuthentication) authentication method, | |
148 | conventional password authentication and challenge response based methods. | |
1d1ffb87 | 149 | .Pp |
150 | .Ss Command execution and data forwarding | |
151 | .Pp | |
bf740959 | 152 | If the client successfully authenticates itself, a dialog for |
4fe2af09 | 153 | preparing the session is entered. |
154 | At this time the client may request | |
bf740959 | 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. | |
158 | .Pp | |
159 | Finally, the client either requests a shell or execution of a command. | |
4fe2af09 | 160 | The sides then enter session mode. |
161 | In this mode, either side may send | |
bf740959 | 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. | |
164 | .Pp | |
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. | |
168 | .Pp | |
169 | .Nm | |
170 | can be configured using command-line options or a configuration | |
4fe2af09 | 171 | file. |
172 | Command-line options override values specified in the | |
bf740959 | 173 | configuration file. |
174 | .Pp | |
9d6b7add | 175 | .Nm |
176 | rereads its configuration file when it receives a hangup signal, | |
409edaba | 177 | .Dv SIGHUP , |
a5a2da3b | 178 | by executing itself with the name it was started as, i.e., |
409edaba | 179 | .Pa /usr/sbin/sshd . |
9d6b7add | 180 | .Pp |
bf740959 | 181 | The options are as follows: |
182 | .Bl -tag -width Ds | |
183 | .It Fl b Ar bits | |
da89cf4d | 184 | Specifies the number of bits in the ephemeral protocol version 1 |
185 | server key (default 768). | |
bf740959 | 186 | .It Fl d |
4fe2af09 | 187 | Debug mode. |
188 | The server sends verbose debug output to the system | |
189 | log, and does not put itself in the background. | |
190 | The server also will not fork and will only process one connection. | |
191 | This option is only intended for debugging for the server. | |
da89cf4d | 192 | Multiple -d options increase the debugging level. |
94ec8c6b | 193 | Maximum is 3. |
da89cf4d | 194 | .It Fl e |
195 | When this option is specified, | |
196 | .Nm | |
197 | will send the output to the standard error instead of the system log. | |
bf740959 | 198 | .It Fl f Ar configuration_file |
4fe2af09 | 199 | Specifies the name of the configuration file. |
200 | The default is | |
2a8a6488 | 201 | .Pa /etc/ssh/sshd_config . |
bf740959 | 202 | .Nm |
203 | refuses to start if there is no configuration file. | |
204 | .It Fl g Ar login_grace_time | |
205 | Gives the grace time for clients to authenticate themselves (default | |
ee5e6612 | 206 | 600 seconds). |
4fe2af09 | 207 | If the client fails to authenticate the user within |
208 | this many seconds, the server disconnects and exits. | |
209 | A value of zero indicates no limit. | |
bf740959 | 210 | .It Fl h Ar host_key_file |
0f84fe37 | 211 | Specifies a file from which a host key is read. |
bf740959 | 212 | This option must be given if |
213 | .Nm | |
214 | is not run as root (as the normal | |
0f84fe37 | 215 | host key files are normally not readable by anyone but root). |
216 | The default is | |
2a8a6488 | 217 | .Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key |
0f84fe37 | 218 | for protocol version 1, and |
2a8a6488 | 219 | .Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key |
0f84fe37 | 220 | and |
2a8a6488 | 221 | .Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key |
0f84fe37 | 222 | for protocol version 2. |
8abcdba4 | 223 | It is possible to have multiple host key files for |
da89cf4d | 224 | the different protocol versions and host key algorithms. |
bf740959 | 225 | .It Fl i |
226 | Specifies that | |
227 | .Nm | |
f54651ce | 228 | is being run from inetd. |
bf740959 | 229 | .Nm |
230 | is normally not run | |
231 | from inetd because it needs to generate the server key before it can | |
4fe2af09 | 232 | respond to the client, and this may take tens of seconds. |
233 | Clients would have to wait too long if the key was regenerated every time. | |
610cd5c6 | 234 | However, with small key sizes (e.g., 512) using |
bf740959 | 235 | .Nm |
236 | from inetd may | |
237 | be feasible. | |
238 | .It Fl k Ar key_gen_time | |
da89cf4d | 239 | Specifies how often the ephemeral protocol version 1 server key is |
240 | regenerated (default 3600 seconds, or one hour). | |
4fe2af09 | 241 | The motivation for regenerating the key fairly |
bf740959 | 242 | often is that the key is not stored anywhere, and after about an hour, |
243 | it becomes impossible to recover the key for decrypting intercepted | |
244 | communications even if the machine is cracked into or physically | |
4fe2af09 | 245 | seized. |
246 | A value of zero indicates that the key will never be regenerated. | |
2717fa0f | 247 | .It Fl o Ar option |
248 | Can be used to give options in the format used in the configuration file. | |
249 | This is useful for specifying options for which there is no separate | |
250 | command-line flag. | |
bf740959 | 251 | .It Fl p Ar port |
252 | Specifies the port on which the server listens for connections | |
253 | (default 22). | |
135113a3 | 254 | Multiple port options are permitted. |
255 | Ports specified in the configuration file are ignored when a | |
256 | command-line port is specified. | |
bf740959 | 257 | .It Fl q |
4fe2af09 | 258 | Quiet mode. |
259 | Nothing is sent to the system log. | |
260 | Normally the beginning, | |
bf740959 | 261 | authentication, and termination of each connection is logged. |
f87f09aa | 262 | .It Fl t |
263 | Test mode. | |
264 | Only check the validity of the configuration file and sanity of the keys. | |
184eed6a | 265 | This is useful for updating |
f87f09aa | 266 | .Nm |
267 | reliably as configuration options may change. | |
c345cf9d | 268 | .It Fl u Ar len |
269 | This option is used to specify the size of the field | |
270 | in the | |
271 | .Li utmp | |
272 | structure that holds the remote host name. | |
273 | If the resolved host name is longer than | |
274 | .Ar len , | |
275 | the dotted decimal value will be used instead. | |
276 | This allows hosts with very long host names that | |
277 | overflow this field to still be uniquely identified. | |
278 | Specifying | |
279 | .Fl u0 | |
280 | indicates that only dotted decimal addresses | |
281 | should be put into the | |
282 | .Pa utmp | |
283 | file. | |
e675b851 | 284 | .Fl u0 |
285 | is also be used to prevent | |
286 | .Nm | |
287 | from making DNS requests unless the authentication | |
288 | mechanism or configuration requires it. | |
289 | Authentication mechanisms that may require DNS include | |
290 | .Cm RhostsAuthentication , | |
291 | .Cm RhostsRSAAuthentication , | |
292 | .Cm HostbasedAuthentication | |
293 | and using a | |
294 | .Cm from="pattern-list" | |
295 | option in a key file. | |
f464aad8 | 296 | Configuration options that require DNS include using a |
297 | USER@HOST pattern in | |
298 | .Cm AllowUsers | |
299 | or | |
300 | .Cm DenyUsers . | |
8abcdba4 | 301 | .It Fl D |
302 | When this option is specified | |
303 | .Nm | |
304 | will not detach and does not become a daemon. | |
305 | This allows easy monitoring of | |
306 | .Nm sshd . | |
48e671d5 | 307 | .It Fl 4 |
308 | Forces | |
309 | .Nm | |
310 | to use IPv4 addresses only. | |
311 | .It Fl 6 | |
312 | Forces | |
313 | .Nm | |
314 | to use IPv6 addresses only. | |
bf740959 | 315 | .El |
316 | .Sh CONFIGURATION FILE | |
317 | .Nm | |
f54651ce | 318 | reads configuration data from |
2a8a6488 | 319 | .Pa /etc/ssh/sshd_config |
bf740959 | 320 | (or the file specified with |
321 | .Fl f | |
4fe2af09 | 322 | on the command line). |
588df31a | 323 | The file format and configuration options are described in |
324 | .Xr sshd_config 5 . | |
bf740959 | 325 | .Sh LOGIN PROCESS |
326 | When a user successfully logs in, | |
327 | .Nm | |
328 | does the following: | |
329 | .Bl -enum -offset indent | |
330 | .It | |
331 | If the login is on a tty, and no command has been specified, | |
f54651ce | 332 | prints last login time and |
bf740959 | 333 | .Pa /etc/motd |
334 | (unless prevented in the configuration file or by | |
335 | .Pa $HOME/.hushlogin ; | |
336 | see the | |
f54651ce | 337 | .Sx FILES |
bf740959 | 338 | section). |
339 | .It | |
340 | If the login is on a tty, records login time. | |
341 | .It | |
342 | Checks | |
343 | .Pa /etc/nologin ; | |
344 | if it exists, prints contents and quits | |
345 | (unless root). | |
346 | .It | |
347 | Changes to run with normal user privileges. | |
348 | .It | |
349 | Sets up basic environment. | |
350 | .It | |
351 | Reads | |
352 | .Pa $HOME/.ssh/environment | |
6a342527 | 353 | if it exists and users are allowed to change their environment. |
354 | See | |
355 | .Cm PermitUserEnvironment | |
356 | in | |
357 | .Xr sshd_config 5 . | |
bf740959 | 358 | .It |
359 | Changes to user's home directory. | |
360 | .It | |
361 | If | |
362 | .Pa $HOME/.ssh/rc | |
363 | exists, runs it; else if | |
af98ced9 | 364 | .Pa /etc/ssh/sshrc |
bf740959 | 365 | exists, runs |
4fe2af09 | 366 | it; otherwise runs xauth. |
367 | The | |
bf740959 | 368 | .Dq rc |
369 | files are given the X11 | |
370 | authentication protocol and cookie in standard input. | |
371 | .It | |
372 | Runs user's shell or command. | |
373 | .El | |
374 | .Sh AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT | |
bf740959 | 375 | .Pa $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys |
96a7b0cc | 376 | is the default file that lists the public keys that are |
377 | permitted for RSA authentication in protocol version 1 | |
378 | and for public key authentication (PubkeyAuthentication) | |
da89cf4d | 379 | in protocol version 2. |
96a7b0cc | 380 | .Cm AuthorizedKeysFile |
c8445989 | 381 | may be used to specify an alternative file. |
8abcdba4 | 382 | .Pp |
4fe2af09 | 383 | Each line of the file contains one |
bf740959 | 384 | key (empty lines and lines starting with a |
385 | .Ql # | |
386 | are ignored as | |
4fe2af09 | 387 | comments). |
8abcdba4 | 388 | Each RSA public key consists of the following fields, separated by |
4fe2af09 | 389 | spaces: options, bits, exponent, modulus, comment. |
8abcdba4 | 390 | Each protocol version 2 public key consists of: |
391 | options, keytype, base64 encoded key, comment. | |
392 | The options fields | |
393 | are optional; its presence is determined by whether the line starts | |
bf740959 | 394 | with a number or not (the option field never starts with a number). |
8abcdba4 | 395 | The bits, exponent, modulus and comment fields give the RSA key for |
396 | protocol version 1; the | |
bf740959 | 397 | comment field is not used for anything (but may be convenient for the |
398 | user to identify the key). | |
8abcdba4 | 399 | For protocol version 2 the keytype is |
400 | .Dq ssh-dss | |
401 | or | |
402 | .Dq ssh-rsa . | |
bf740959 | 403 | .Pp |
404 | Note that lines in this file are usually several hundred bytes long | |
4fe2af09 | 405 | (because of the size of the RSA key modulus). |
406 | You don't want to type them in; instead, copy the | |
c0ecc314 | 407 | .Pa identity.pub , |
8abcdba4 | 408 | .Pa id_dsa.pub |
c0ecc314 | 409 | or the |
410 | .Pa id_rsa.pub | |
bf740959 | 411 | file and edit it. |
412 | .Pp | |
3bc822df | 413 | .Nm |

424 | Specifies that in addition to RSA authentication, the canonical name | |
425 | of the remote host must be present in the comma-separated list of | |
4fe2af09 | 426 | patterns |
427 | .Pf ( Ql * | |
428 | and | |
429 | .Ql ? | |
430 | serve as wildcards). | |
431 | The list may also contain | |
432 | patterns negated by prefixing them with | |
433 | .Ql ! ; | |
434 | if the canonical host name matches a negated pattern, the key is not accepted. | |
435 | The purpose | |
bf740959 | 436 | of this option is to optionally increase security: RSA authentication |
437 | by itself does not trust the network or name servers or anything (but | |
438 | the key); however, if somebody somehow steals the key, the key | |
4fe2af09 | 439 | permits an intruder to log in from anywhere in the world. |
440 | This additional option makes using a stolen key more difficult (name | |
bf740959 | 441 | servers and/or routers would have to be compromised in addition to |
442 | just the key). | |
443 | .It Cm command="command" | |
444 | Specifies that the command is executed whenever this key is used for | |
4fe2af09 | 445 | authentication. |
446 | The command supplied by the user (if any) is ignored. | |
9658ecbc | 447 | The command is run on a pty if the client requests a pty; |
4fe2af09 | 448 | otherwise it is run without a tty. |
91789042 | 449 | If a 8-bit clean channel is required, |
450 | one must not request a pty or should specify | |
61e96248 | 451 | .Cm no-pty . |
4fe2af09 | 452 | A quote may be included in the command by quoting it with a backslash. |
453 | This option might be useful | |
454 | to restrict certain RSA keys to perform just a specific operation. | |
455 | An example might be a key that permits remote backups but nothing else. | |
d0c832f3 | 456 | Note that the client may specify TCP/IP and/or X11 |
457 | forwarding unless they are explicitly prohibited. | |
4cdbc654 | 458 | Note that this option applies to shell, command or subsystem execution. |
bf740959 | 459 | .It Cm environment="NAME=value" |
460 | Specifies that the string is to be added to the environment when | |
4fe2af09 | 461 | logging in using this key. |
462 | Environment variables set this way | |
463 | override other default environment values. | |
464 | Multiple options of this type are permitted. | |
2548961d | 465 | This option is automatically disabled if |
466 | .Cm UseLogin | |
467 | is enabled. | |
bf740959 | 468 | .It Cm no-port-forwarding |
469 | Forbids TCP/IP forwarding when this key is used for authentication. | |
4fe2af09 | 470 | Any port forward requests by the client will return an error. |
471 | This might be used, e.g., in connection with the | |
bf740959 | 472 | .Cm command |
473 | option. | |
474 | .It Cm no-X11-forwarding | |
475 | Forbids X11 forwarding when this key is used for authentication. | |
476 | Any X11 forward requests by the client will return an error. | |
477 | .It Cm no-agent-forwarding | |
478 | Forbids authentication agent forwarding when this key is used for | |
479 | authentication. | |
480 | .It Cm no-pty | |
481 | Prevents tty allocation (a request to allocate a pty will fail). | |

f54651ce | 504 | The |
2a8a6488 | 505 | .Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts , |
f54651ce | 506 | and |
f49bc4f7 | 507 | .Pa $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts |
4fe2af09 | 508 | files contain host public keys for all known hosts. |
509 | The global file should | |
510 | be prepared by the administrator (optional), and the per-user file is | |
c345cf9d | 511 | maintained automatically: whenever the user connects from an unknown host |
4fe2af09 | 512 | its key is added to the per-user file. |
bf740959 | 513 | .Pp |
514 | Each line in these files contains the following fields: hostnames, | |
4fe2af09 | 515 | bits, exponent, modulus, comment. |
516 | The fields are separated by spaces. | |
bf740959 | 517 | .Pp |
518 | Hostnames is a comma-separated list of patterns ('*' and '?' act as | |
519 | wildcards); each pattern in turn is matched against the canonical host | |
520 | name (when authenticating a client) or against the user-supplied | |
4fe2af09 | 521 | name (when authenticating a server). |
522 | A pattern may also be preceded by | |
bf740959 | 523 | .Ql ! |
524 | to indicate negation: if the host name matches a negated | |
525 | pattern, it is not accepted (by that line) even if it matched another | |
526 | pattern on the line. | |
527 | .Pp | |
1d1ffb87 | 528 | Bits, exponent, and modulus are taken directly from the RSA host key; they |
bf740959 | 529 | can be obtained, e.g., from |
2a8a6488 | 530 | .Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.pub . |
bf740959 | 531 | The optional comment field continues to the end of the line, and is not used. |
532 | .Pp | |
533 | Lines starting with | |
534 | .Ql # | |
535 | and empty lines are ignored as comments. | |
536 | .Pp | |
537 | When performing host authentication, authentication is accepted if any | |
4fe2af09 | 538 | matching line has the proper key. |
539 | It is thus permissible (but not | |
bf740959 | 540 | recommended) to have several lines or different host keys for the same |
4fe2af09 | 541 | names. |
542 | This will inevitably happen when short forms of host names | |
543 | from different domains are put in the file. | |
544 | It is possible | |
bf740959 | 545 | that the files contain conflicting information; authentication is |
546 | accepted if valid information can be found from either file. | |
547 | .Pp | |
548 | Note that the lines in these files are typically hundreds of characters | |
549 | long, and you definitely don't want to type in the host keys by hand. | |
550 | Rather, generate them by a script | |
f54651ce | 551 | or by taking |
2a8a6488 | 552 | .Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.pub |
bf740959 | 553 | and adding the host names at the front. |

bf740959 | 658 | This file is used during |

4fe2af09 | 660 | authentication. |
661 | In the simplest form, this file contains host names, one per line. | |
662 | Users on | |

4fe2af09 | 664 | have the same user name on both machines. |
665 | The host name may also be | |
bf740959 | 666 | followed by a user name; such users are permitted to log in as |
667 | .Em any | |
4fe2af09 | 668 | user on this machine (except root). |
669 | Additionally, the syntax | |
bf740959 | 670 | .Dq +@group |
4fe2af09 | 671 | can be used to specify netgroups. |

688 | Using a user name practically grants the user root access. | |
689 | The only valid use for user names that I can think | |
