Darren Tucker | 46bc075 | 2004-05-02 22:11:30 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 64 | .It Cm AcceptEnv |
| 65 | Specifies what environment variables sent by the client will be copied into |
| 66 | the session's |
| 67 | .Xr environ 7 . |
| 68 | See |
| 69 | .Cm SendEnv |
| 70 | in |

Darren Tucker | 1e0c9bf | 2004-05-02 22:12:48 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 82 | Be warned that some environment variables could be used to bypass restricted |
Darren Tucker | 46bc075 | 2004-05-02 22:11:30 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 83 | user environments. |
| 84 | For this reason, care should be taken in the use of this directive. |
| 85 | The default is not to accept any environment variables. |
Darren Tucker | 0f38323 | 2005-01-20 10:57:56 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 86 | .It Cm AddressFamily |

Ben Lindstrom | 9f04903 | 2002-06-21 00:59:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 109 | .It Cm AllowTcpForwarding |
| 110 | Specifies whether TCP forwarding is permitted. |
| 111 | The default is |
| 112 | .Dq yes . |
| 113 | Note that disabling TCP forwarding does not improve security unless |
| 114 | users are also denied shell access, as they can always install their |
| 115 | own forwarders. |

| 126 | Only user names are valid; a numerical user ID is not recognized. |
| 127 | By default, login is allowed for all users. |
| 128 | If the pattern takes the form USER@HOST then USER and HOST |
| 129 | are separately checked, restricting logins to particular |
| 130 | users from particular hosts. |

| 139 | %u is replaced by the username of that user. |
| 140 | After expansion, |
| 141 | .Cm AuthorizedKeysFile |
| 142 | is taken to be an absolute path or one relative to the user's home |
| 143 | directory. |
| 144 | The default is |
| 145 | .Dq .ssh/authorized_keys . |
| 146 | .It Cm Banner |
| 147 | In some jurisdictions, sending a warning message before authentication |
| 148 | may be relevant for getting legal protection. |
| 149 | The contents of the specified file are sent to the remote user before |
| 150 | authentication is allowed. |
| 151 | This option is only available for protocol version 2. |
| 152 | By default, no banner is displayed. |
Ben Lindstrom | 9f04903 | 2002-06-21 00:59:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 153 | .It Cm ChallengeResponseAuthentication |

| 185 | sent without |
| 186 | .Nm sshd |
Damien Miller | fbf486b | 2003-05-23 18:44:23 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 187 | receiving any messages back from the client. |
| 188 | If this threshold is reached while client alive messages are being sent, |
Ben Lindstrom | 9f04903 | 2002-06-21 00:59:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 189 | .Nm sshd |
Damien Miller | fbf486b | 2003-05-23 18:44:23 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 190 | will disconnect the client, terminating the session. |
| 191 | It is important to note that the use of client alive messages is very |
| 192 | different from |
Damien Miller | 12c150e | 2003-12-17 16:31:10 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 193 | .Cm TCPKeepAlive |
Damien Miller | fbf486b | 2003-05-23 18:44:23 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 194 | (below). |
| 195 | The client alive messages are sent through the encrypted channel |
| 196 | and therefore will not be spoofable. |
| 197 | The TCP keepalive option enabled by |
Damien Miller | 12c150e | 2003-12-17 16:31:10 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 198 | .Cm TCPKeepAlive |
Damien Miller | fbf486b | 2003-05-23 18:44:23 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 199 | is spoofable. |
| 200 | The client alive mechanism is valuable when the client or |
Ben Lindstrom | 9f04903 | 2002-06-21 00:59:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 201 | server depend on knowing when a connection has become inactive. |

Damien Miller | 1a0c0b9 | 2003-09-02 22:51:17 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 345 | will be validated through the Kerberos KDC. |
Ben Lindstrom | 9f04903 | 2002-06-21 00:59:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 346 | To use this option, the server needs a |
| 347 | Kerberos servtab which allows the verification of the KDC's identity. |
| 348 | Default is |

| 364 | file on logout. |
| 365 | Default is |
| 366 | .Dq yes . |
| 367 | .It Cm KeyRegenerationInterval |
| 368 | In protocol version 1, the ephemeral server key is automatically regenerated |
| 369 | after this many seconds (if it has been used). |
| 370 | The purpose of regeneration is to prevent |
| 371 | decrypting captured sessions by later breaking into the machine and |
| 372 | stealing the keys. |
| 373 | The key is never stored anywhere. |
| 374 | If the value is 0, the key is never regenerated. |
| 375 | The default is 3600 (seconds). |

Damien Miller | 495dca3 | 2003-04-01 21:42:14 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 425 | The default is INFO. |
| 426 | DEBUG and DEBUG1 are equivalent. |
| 427 | DEBUG2 and DEBUG3 each specify higher levels of debugging output. |
| 428 | Logging with a DEBUG level violates the privacy of users and is not recommended. |
Ben Lindstrom | 9f04903 | 2002-06-21 00:59:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 429 | .It Cm MACs |
| 430 | Specifies the available MAC (message authentication code) algorithms. |
| 431 | The MAC algorithm is used in protocol version 2 |
| 432 | for data integrity protection. |
| 433 | Multiple algorithms must be comma-separated. |
| 434 | The default is |
| 435 | .Dq hmac-md5,hmac-sha1,hmac-ripemd160,hmac-sha1-96,hmac-md5-96 . |

| 448 | expires for a connection. |
| 449 | The default is 10. |
| 450 | .Pp |
| 451 | Alternatively, random early drop can be enabled by specifying |
| 452 | the three colon separated values |
| 453 | .Dq start:rate:full |
| 454 | (e.g., "10:30:60"). |
| 455 | .Nm sshd |
| 456 | will refuse connection attempts with a probability of |
| 457 | .Dq rate/100 |
| 458 | (30%) |
| 459 | if there are currently |
| 460 | .Dq start |
| 461 | (10) |
| 462 | unauthenticated connections. |
| 463 | The probability increases linearly and all connection attempts |
| 464 | are refused if the number of unauthenticated connections reaches |
| 465 | .Dq full |
| 466 | (60). |
| 467 | .It Cm PasswordAuthentication |

| 599 | The minimum value is 512, and the default is 768. |
| 600 | .It Cm StrictModes |
| 601 | Specifies whether |
| 602 | .Nm sshd |
| 603 | should check file modes and ownership of the |
| 604 | user's files and home directory before accepting login. |
| 605 | This is normally desirable because novices sometimes accidentally leave their |
| 606 | directory or files world-writable. |
| 607 | The default is |
| 608 | .Dq yes . |
| 609 | .It Cm Subsystem |
| 610 | Configures an external subsystem (e.g., file transfer daemon). |

| 627 | Specifies whether the system should send TCP keepalive messages to the |
| 628 | other side. |
| 629 | If they are sent, death of the connection or crash of one |
| 630 | of the machines will be properly noticed. |
| 631 | However, this means that |
| 632 | connections will die if the route is down temporarily, and some people |
| 633 | find it annoying. |
| 634 | On the other hand, if TCP keepalives are not sent, |
| 635 | sessions may hang indefinitely on the server, leaving |
| 636 | .Dq ghost |
| 637 | users and consuming server resources. |
| 638 | .Pp |
| 639 | The default is |
| 640 | .Dq yes |
| 641 | (to send TCP keepalive messages), and the server will notice |
| 642 | if the network goes down or the client host crashes. |
| 643 | This avoids infinitely hanging sessions. |
| 644 | .Pp |
| 645 | To disable TCP keepalive messages, the value should be set to |
| 646 | .Dq no . |

| 661 | Note that |
| 662 | .Xr login 1 |
| 663 | is never used for remote command execution. |
| 664 | Note also, that if this is enabled, |
| 665 | .Cm X11Forwarding |
| 666 | will be disabled because |

| 682 | Because PAM challenge-response authentication usually serves an equivalent |

| 696 | Specifies whether |

| 698 | separates privileges by creating an unprivileged child process |
Damien Miller | 495dca3 | 2003-04-01 21:42:14 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 699 | to deal with incoming network traffic. |
| 700 | After successful authentication, another process will be created that has |
| 701 | the privilege of the authenticated user. |
| 702 | The goal of privilege separation is to prevent privilege |
Ben Lindstrom | 9f04903 | 2002-06-21 00:59:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 703 | escalation by containing any corruption within the unprivileged processes. |

| 707 | Specifies the first display number available for |
| 708 | .Nm sshd Ns 's |
| 709 | X11 forwarding. |
| 710 | This prevents |
| 711 | .Nm sshd |
| 712 | from interfering with real X11 servers. |
| 713 | The default is 10. |
| 714 | .It Cm X11Forwarding |
| 715 | Specifies whether X11 forwarding is permitted. |
Damien Miller | 101c4a7 | 2002-09-19 11:51:21 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 716 | The argument must be |
| 717 | .Dq yes |

Damien Miller | 101c4a7 | 2002-09-19 11:51:21 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 722 | .Pp |
| 723 | When X11 forwarding is enabled, there may be additional exposure to |
| 724 | the server and to client displays if the |
| 725 | .Nm sshd |
| 726 | proxy display is configured to listen on the wildcard address (see |
| 727 | .Cm X11UseLocalhost |
| 728 | below), however this is not the default. |
| 729 | Additionally, the authentication spoofing and authentication data |
| 730 | verification and substitution occur on the client side. |
| 731 | The security risk of using X11 forwarding is that the client's X11 |
| 732 | display server may be exposed to attack when the ssh client requests |
| 733 | forwarding (see the warnings for |
| 734 | .Cm ForwardX11 |
| 735 | in |

Damien Miller | 101c4a7 | 2002-09-19 11:51:21 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 737 | A system administrator may have a stance in which they want to |
| 738 | protect clients that may expose themselves to attack by unwittingly |
| 739 | requesting X11 forwarding, which can warrant a |
| 740 | .Dq no |
| 741 | setting. |
| 742 | .Pp |
| 743 | Note that disabling X11 forwarding does not prevent users from |
| 744 | forwarding X11 traffic, as users can always install their own forwarders. |
Ben Lindstrom | 9f04903 | 2002-06-21 00:59:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 745 | X11 forwarding is automatically disabled if |
| 746 | .Cm UseLogin |
| 747 | is enabled. |
| 748 | .It Cm X11UseLocalhost |
| 749 | Specifies whether |
| 750 | .Nm sshd |
| 751 | should bind the X11 forwarding server to the loopback address or to |
Damien Miller | 495dca3 | 2003-04-01 21:42:14 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 752 | the wildcard address. |
| 753 | By default, |
Ben Lindstrom | 9f04903 | 2002-06-21 00:59:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 754 | .Nm sshd |
| 755 | binds the forwarding server to the loopback address and sets the |
| 756 | hostname part of the |
| 757 | .Ev DISPLAY |
| 758 | environment variable to |
| 759 | .Dq localhost . |
Ben Lindstrom | 15b6120 | 2002-08-20 18:44:24 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 760 | This prevents remote hosts from connecting to the proxy display. |
Ben Lindstrom | 9f04903 | 2002-06-21 00:59:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 761 | However, some older X11 clients may not function with this |
| 762 | configuration. |
| 763 | .Cm X11UseLocalhost |
| 764 | may be set to |
| 765 | .Dq no |
| 766 | to specify that the forwarding server should be bound to the wildcard |
| 767 | address. |
| 768 | The argument must be |
| 769 | .Dq yes |
| 770 | or |
| 771 | .Dq no . |
