| 53 | The file contains keyword-argument pairs, one per line. |
| 54 | Lines starting with |
| 55 | .Ql # |
| 56 | and empty lines are interpreted as comments. |
Damien Miller | 306d118 | 2006-03-15 12:05:59 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 57 | Arguments may optionally be enclosed in double quotes |

Darren Tucker | 46bc075 | 2004-05-02 22:11:30 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 65 | .It Cm AcceptEnv |

Darren Tucker | 1e0c9bf | 2004-05-02 22:12:48 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 74 | Note that environment passing is only supported for protocol 2. |

Darren Tucker | 46bc075 | 2004-05-02 22:11:30 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 84 | user environments. |
| 85 | For this reason, care should be taken in the use of this directive. |

| 101 | forwarding is permitted. |
| 102 | The default is |
| 103 | .Dq yes . |
| 104 | Note that disabling agent forwarding does not improve security |

| 130 | Note that disabling TCP forwarding does not improve security unless |

| 139 | By default, login is allowed for all users. |
| 140 | If the pattern takes the form USER@HOST then USER and HOST |
| 141 | are separately checked, restricting logins to particular |

| 158 | .Cm AuthorizedKeysFile |
| 159 | may contain tokens of the form %T which are substituted during connection |

Damien Miller | 208f1ed | 2006-03-15 11:56:03 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 825 | Configures an external subsystem (e.g. file transfer daemon). |

| 853 | Specifies whether the system should send TCP keepalive messages to the |
| 854 | other side. |
| 855 | If they are sent, death of the connection or crash of one |
| 856 | of the machines will be properly noticed. |
| 857 | However, this means that |
| 858 | connections will die if the route is down temporarily, and some people |
| 859 | find it annoying. |
| 860 | On the other hand, if TCP keepalives are not sent, |
| 861 | sessions may hang indefinitely on the server, leaving |
| 862 | .Dq ghost |
| 863 | users and consuming server resources. |
| 864 | .Pp |
| 865 | The default is |
| 866 | .Dq yes |
| 867 | (to send TCP keepalive messages), and the server will notice |
| 868 | if the network goes down or the client host crashes. |
| 869 | This avoids infinitely hanging sessions. |
| 870 | .Pp |
| 871 | To disable TCP keepalive messages, the value should be set to |

| 887 | Note that |

| 890 | Note also, that if this is enabled, |

| 929 | After successful authentication, another process will be created that has |
| 930 | the privilege of the authenticated user. |
| 931 | The goal of privilege separation is to prevent privilege |

| 968 | setting. |

| 970 | Note that disabling X11 forwarding does not prevent users from |
| 971 | forwarding X11 traffic, as users can always install their own forwarders. |
