However, when the daemon starts, it does not generate a server key.
Forward security is provided through a Diffie-Hellman key agreement.
log, and does not put itself in the background.
The server also will not fork and will only process one connection.
This option is only intended for debugging for the server.
+Multiple -d options increases the debugging level. Maximum is 3.
.It Fl f Ar configuration_file
Specifies the name of the configuration file.
The default is
Nothing is sent to the system log.
Normally the beginning,
authentication, and termination of each connection is logged.
+.It Fl u Ar len
+This option is used to specify the size of the field
+in the
+.Li utmp
+structure that holds the remote host name.
+If the resolved host name is longer than
+.Ar len ,
+the dotted decimal value will be used instead.
+This allows hosts with very long host names that
+overflow this field to still be uniquely identified.
+Specifying
+.Fl u0
+indicates that only dotted decimal addresses
+should be put into the
+.Pa utmp
+file.

-.It Cm HostDsaKey

Specifies the file containing the private DSA host key (default

This can be in the form of a Kerberos ticket, or if
.Cm PasswordAuthentication
is yes, the password provided by the user will be validated through

+the Kerberos KDC. To use this option, the server needs a
+Kerberos servtab which allows the verification of the KDC's identity.
Default is
.Dq yes .
.It Cm KerberosOrLocalPasswd
If set then if password authentication through Kerberos fails then
the password will be validated via any additional local mechanism
such as
-.Pa /etc/passwd
-or SecurID.
+.Pa /etc/passwd .
Default is
.Dq yes .
.It Cm KerberosTgtPassing
The default is INFO.
Logging with level DEBUG violates the privacy of users
and is not recommended.
+.It Cm MaxStartups
+Specifies the maximum number of concurrent unauthenticated connections to the
+.Nm
+daemon.
+Additional connections will be dropped until authentication succeeds or the
+.Cm LoginGraceTime
+expires for a connection.
+The default is 10.
+.Pp
+Alternatively, random early drop can be enabled by specifying
+the three colon separated values
+.Dq start:rate:full
+(e.g. "10:30:60").
+.Nm
+will refuse connection attempts with a probabillity of
+.Dq rate/100
+(30%)
+if there are currently
+.Dq start
+(10)
+unauthenticated connections.
+The probabillity increases linearly and all connection attempts
+are refused if the number of unauthenticated connections reaches
+.Dq full
+(60).
.It Cm PasswordAuthentication
Specifies whether password authentication is allowed.
The default is
.Dq yes .
-Note that this option applies to both protocol version 1 and 2.
+Note that this option applies to both protocol versions 1 and 2.
.It Cm PermitEmptyPasswords
When password authentication is allowed, it specifies whether the
server allows login to accounts with empty password strings.
.It Cm Subsystem
Configures an external subsystem (e.g. file transfer daemon).
Arguments should be a subsystem name and a command to execute upon subsystem request.
+The command
+.Xr sftp-server 8
+implements the

+file transfer subsystem.
By default no subsystems are defined.
Note that this option applies to protocol version 2 only.
