3 | NAME | ||
4 | sshd - OpenSSH SSH daemon | ||
5 | |||
6 | SYNOPSIS | ||
7 | sshd [-46Ddeiqt] [-b bits] [-f config_file] [-g login_grace_time] | ||
8 | [-h host_key_file] [-k key_gen_time] [-o option] [-p port] [-u len] | ||
9 | |||
10 | DESCRIPTION | ||
11 | sshd (OpenSSH Daemon) is the daemon program for ssh(1). Together these | ||
12 | programs replace rlogin(1) and rsh(1), and provide secure encrypted com- | ||
13 | munications between two untrusted hosts over an insecure network. | ||
14 | |||
15 | sshd listens for connections from clients. It is normally started at | ||
16 | boot from /etc/rc. It forks a new daemon for each incoming connection. | ||
17 | The forked daemons handle key exchange, encryption, authentication, com- | ||
18 | mand execution, and data exchange. | ||
19 | |||
20 | sshd can be configured using command-line options or a configuration file | ||
21 | (by default sshd_config(5)); command-line options override values speci- | ||
22 | fied in the configuration file. sshd rereads its configuration file when | ||
23 | it receives a hangup signal, SIGHUP, by executing itself with the name | ||
24 | and options it was started with, e.g. /usr/sbin/sshd. | ||
25 | |||
26 | The options are as follows: | ||
27 | |||
28 | -4 Forces sshd to use IPv4 addresses only. | ||
29 | |||
30 | -6 Forces sshd to use IPv6 addresses only. | ||
31 | |||
32 | -b bits | ||
33 | Specifies the number of bits in the ephemeral protocol version 1 | ||
34 | server key (default 768). | ||
35 | |||
36 | -D When this option is specified, sshd will not detach and does not | ||
37 | become a daemon. This allows easy monitoring of sshd. | ||
38 | |||
39 | -d Debug mode. The server sends verbose debug output to the system | ||
40 | log, and does not put itself in the background. The server also | ||
41 | will not fork and will only process one connection. This option | ||
42 | is only intended for debugging for the server. Multiple -d op- | ||
43 | tions increase the debugging level. Maximum is 3. | ||
44 | |||
45 | -e When this option is specified, sshd will send the output to the | ||
46 | standard error instead of the system log. | ||
47 | |||
48 | -f config_file | ||
49 | Specifies the name of the configuration file. The default is | ||
50 | /etc/ssh/sshd_config. sshd refuses to start if there is no con- | ||
51 | figuration file. | ||
52 | |||
53 | -g login_grace_time | ||
54 | Gives the grace time for clients to authenticate themselves (de- | ||
55 | fault 120 seconds). If the client fails to authenticate the user | ||
56 | within this many seconds, the server disconnects and exits. A | ||
57 | value of zero indicates no limit. | ||
58 | |||
59 | -h host_key_file | ||
60 | Specifies a file from which a host key is read. This option must | ||
61 | be given if sshd is not run as root (as the normal host key files | ||
62 | are normally not readable by anyone but root). The default is | ||
63 | /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key for protocol version 1, and | ||
64 | /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key and /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key for pro- | ||
65 | tocol version 2. It is possible to have multiple host key files | ||
66 | for the different protocol versions and host key algorithms. | ||
67 | |||
68 | -i Specifies that sshd is being run from inetd(8). sshd is normally | ||
69 | not run from inetd because it needs to generate the server key | ||
70 | before it can respond to the client, and this may take tens of | ||
71 | seconds. Clients would have to wait too long if the key was re- | ||
72 | generated every time. However, with small key sizes (e.g. 512) | ||
73 | using sshd from inetd may be feasible. | ||
74 | |||
75 | -k key_gen_time | ||
76 | Specifies how often the ephemeral protocol version 1 server key | ||
77 | is regenerated (default 3600 seconds, or one hour). The motiva- | ||
78 | tion for regenerating the key fairly often is that the key is not | ||
79 | stored anywhere, and after about an hour it becomes impossible to | ||
80 | recover the key for decrypting intercepted communications even if | ||
81 | the machine is cracked into or physically seized. A value of ze- | ||
82 | ro indicates that the key will never be regenerated. | ||
83 | |||
84 | -o option | ||
85 | Can be used to give options in the format used in the configura- | ||
86 | tion file. This is useful for specifying options for which there | ||
87 | is no separate command-line flag. For full details of the op- | ||
88 | tions, and their values, see sshd_config(5). | ||
89 | |||
90 | -p port | ||
91 | Specifies the port on which the server listens for connections | ||
92 | (default 22). Multiple port options are permitted. Ports speci- | ||
93 | fied in the configuration file with the Port option are ignored | ||
94 | when a command-line port is specified. Ports specified using the | ||
95 | ListenAddress option override command-line ports. | ||
96 | |||
97 | -q Quiet mode. Nothing is sent to the system log. Normally the be- | ||
98 | ginning, authentication, and termination of each connection is | ||
99 | logged. | ||
100 | |||
101 | -t Test mode. Only check the validity of the configuration file and | ||
102 | sanity of the keys. This is useful for updating sshd reliably as | ||
103 | configuration options may change. | ||
104 | |||
105 | -u len This option is used to specify the size of the field in the utmp | ||
106 | structure that holds the remote host name. If the resolved host | ||
107 | name is longer than len, the dotted decimal value will be used | ||
108 | instead. This allows hosts with very long host names that over- | ||
109 | flow this field to still be uniquely identified. Specifying -u0 | ||
110 | indicates that only dotted decimal addresses should be put into | ||
111 | the utmp file. -u0 may also be used to prevent sshd from making | ||
112 | DNS requests unless the authentication mechanism or configuration | ||
113 | requires it. Authentication mechanisms that may require DNS in- | ||
114 | clude RhostsRSAAuthentication, HostbasedAuthentication, and using | ||
115 | a from="pattern-list" option in a key file. Configuration op- | ||
116 | tions that require DNS include using a USER@HOST pattern in | ||
117 | AllowUsers or DenyUsers. | ||
118 | |||
119 | AUTHENTICATION | ||
120 | The OpenSSH SSH daemon supports SSH protocols 1 and 2. Both protocols | ||
121 | are supported by default, though this can be changed via the Protocol op- | ||
122 | tion in sshd_config(5). Protocol 2 supports both RSA and DSA keys; pro- | ||
123 | tocol 1 only supports RSA keys. For both protocols, each host has a | ||
124 | host-specific key, normally 2048 bits, used to identify the host. | ||
125 | |||
126 | Forward security for protocol 1 is provided through an additional server | ||
127 | key, normally 768 bits, generated when the server starts. This key is | ||
128 | normally regenerated every hour if it has been used, and is never stored | ||
129 | on disk. Whenever a client connects, the daemon responds with its public | ||
130 | host and server keys. The client compares the RSA host key against its | ||
131 | own database to verify that it has not changed. The client then gener- | ||
132 | ates a 256-bit random number. It encrypts this random number using both | ||
133 | the host key and the server key, and sends the encrypted number to the | ||
134 | server. Both sides then use this random number as a session key which is | ||
135 | used to encrypt all further communications in the session. The rest of | ||
136 | the session is encrypted using a conventional cipher, currently Blowfish | ||
137 | or 3DES, with 3DES being used by default. The client selects the encryp- | ||
138 | tion algorithm to use from those offered by the server. | ||
139 | |||
140 | For protocol 2, forward security is provided through a Diffie-Hellman key | ||
141 | agreement. This key agreement results in a shared session key. The rest | ||
142 | of the session is encrypted using a symmetric cipher, currently 128-bit | ||
143 | AES, Blowfish, 3DES, CAST128, Arcfour, 192-bit AES, or 256-bit AES. The | ||
144 | client selects the encryption algorithm to use from those offered by the | ||
145 | server. Additionally, session integrity is provided through a crypto- | ||
146 | graphic message authentication code (hmac-md5, hmac-sha1, umac-64 or | ||
147 | hmac-ripemd160). | ||
148 | |||
149 | Finally, the server and the client enter an authentication dialog. The | ||
150 | client tries to authenticate itself using host-based authentication, pub- | ||
151 | lic key authentication, challenge-response authentication, or password | ||
152 | authentication. | ||
153 | |||
154 | Regardless of the authentication type, the account is checked to ensure | ||
155 | that it is accessible. An account is not accessible if it is locked, | ||
156 | listed in DenyUsers or its group is listed in DenyGroups . The defini- | ||
157 | tion of a locked account is system dependant. Some platforms have their | ||
158 | own account database (eg AIX) and some modify the passwd field ( `*LK*' | ||
159 | on Solaris and UnixWare, `*' on HP-UX, containing `Nologin' on Tru64, a | ||
160 | leading `*LOCKED*' on FreeBSD and a leading `!' on most Linuxes). If | ||
161 | there is a requirement to disable password authentication for the account | ||
162 | while allowing still public-key, then the passwd field should be set to | ||
163 | something other than these values (eg `NP' or `*NP*' ). | ||
164 | |||
165 | If the client successfully authenticates itself, a dialog for preparing | ||
166 | the session is entered. At this time the client may request things like | ||
167 | allocating a pseudo-tty, forwarding X11 connections, forwarding TCP con- | ||
168 | nections, or forwarding the authentication agent connection over the se- | ||
169 | cure channel. | ||
170 | |||
171 | After this, the client either requests a shell or execution of a command. | ||
172 | The sides then enter session mode. In this mode, either side may send | ||
173 | data at any time, and such data is forwarded to/from the shell or command | ||
174 | on the server side, and the user terminal in the client side. | ||
175 | |||
176 | When the user program terminates and all forwarded X11 and other connec- | ||
177 | tions have been closed, the server sends command exit status to the | ||
178 | client, and both sides exit. | ||
179 | |||
180 | LOGIN PROCESS | ||
181 | When a user successfully logs in, sshd does the following: | ||
182 | |||
183 | 1. If the login is on a tty, and no command has been specified, | ||
184 | prints last login time and /etc/motd (unless prevented in the | ||
185 | configuration file or by ~/.hushlogin; see the FILES section). | ||
186 | |||
187 | 2. If the login is on a tty, records login time. | ||
188 | |||
189 | 3. Checks /etc/nologin; if it exists, prints contents and quits | ||
190 | (unless root). | ||
191 | |||
192 | 4. Changes to run with normal user privileges. | ||
193 | |||
194 | 5. Sets up basic environment. | ||
195 | |||
196 | 6. Reads the file ~/.ssh/environment, if it exists, and users are | ||
197 | allowed to change their environment. See the | ||
198 | PermitUserEnvironment option in sshd_config(5). | ||
199 | |||
200 | 7. Changes to user's home directory. | ||
201 | |||
202 | 8. If ~/.ssh/rc exists, runs it; else if /etc/ssh/sshrc exists, | ||
203 | runs it; otherwise runs xauth. The ``rc'' files are given the | ||
204 | X11 authentication protocol and cookie in standard input. See | ||
205 | SSHRC, below. | ||
206 | |||
207 | 9. Runs user's shell or command. | ||
208 | |||
209 | SSHRC | ||
210 | If the file ~/.ssh/rc exists, sh(1) runs it after reading the environment | ||
211 | files but before starting the user's shell or command. It must not pro- | ||
212 | duce any output on stdout; stderr must be used instead. If X11 forward- | ||
213 | ing is in use, it will receive the "proto cookie" pair in its standard | ||
214 | input (and DISPLAY in its environment). The script must call xauth(1) | ||
215 | because sshd will not run xauth automatically to add X11 cookies. | ||
216 | |||
217 | The primary purpose of this file is to run any initialization routines | ||
218 | which may be needed before the user's home directory becomes accessible; | ||
219 | AFS is a particular example of such an environment. | ||
220 | |||
221 | This file will probably contain some initialization code followed by | ||
222 | something similar to: | ||
223 | |||
224 | if read proto cookie && [ -n "$DISPLAY" ]; then | ||
225 | if [ `echo $DISPLAY | cut -c1-10` = 'localhost:' ]; then | ||
226 | # X11UseLocalhost=yes | ||
227 | echo add unix:`echo $DISPLAY | | ||
228 | cut -c11-` $proto $cookie | ||
229 | else | ||
230 | # X11UseLocalhost=no | ||
231 | echo add $DISPLAY $proto $cookie | ||
232 | fi | xauth -q - | ||
233 | fi | ||
234 | |||
235 | If this file does not exist, /etc/ssh/sshrc is run, and if that does not | ||
236 | exist either, xauth is used to add the cookie. | ||
237 | |||
238 | AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT | ||
239 | AuthorizedKeysFile specifies the file containing public keys for public | ||
240 | key authentication; if none is specified, the default is | ||
241 | ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. Each line of the file contains one key (empty | ||
242 | lines and lines starting with a `#' are ignored as comments). Protocol 1 | ||
243 | public keys consist of the following space-separated fields: options, | ||
244 | bits, exponent, modulus, comment. Protocol 2 public key consist of: op- | ||
245 | tions, keytype, base64-encoded key, comment. The options field is op- | ||
246 | tional; its presence is determined by whether the line starts with a num- | ||
247 | ber or not (the options field never starts with a number). The bits, ex- | ||
248 | ponent, modulus, and comment fields give the RSA key for protocol version | ||
249 | 1; the comment field is not used for anything (but may be convenient for | ||
250 | the user to identify the key). For protocol version 2 the keytype is | ||
251 | ``ssh-dss'' or ``ssh-rsa''. | ||
252 | |||
253 | Note that lines in this file are usually several hundred bytes long (be- | ||
254 | cause of the size of the public key encoding) up to a limit of 8 kilo- | ||
255 | bytes, which permits DSA keys up to 8 kilobits and RSA keys up to 16 | ||
256 | kilobits. You don't want to type them in; instead, copy the | ||
257 | identity.pub, id_dsa.pub, or the id_rsa.pub file and edit it. | ||
258 | |||
259 | sshd enforces a minimum RSA key modulus size for protocol 1 and protocol | ||
260 | 2 keys of 768 bits. | ||
261 | |||
262 | The options (if present) consist of comma-separated option specifica- | ||
263 | tions. No spaces are permitted, except within double quotes. The fol- | ||
264 | lowing option specifications are supported (note that option keywords are | ||
265 | case-insensitive): | ||
266 | |||
267 | command="command" | ||
268 | Specifies that the command is executed whenever this key is used | ||
269 | for authentication. The command supplied by the user (if any) is | ||
270 | ignored. The command is run on a pty if the client requests a | ||
271 | pty; otherwise it is run without a tty. If an 8-bit clean chan- | ||
272 | nel is required, one must not request a pty or should specify no- | ||
273 | pty. A quote may be included in the command by quoting it with a | ||
274 | backslash. This option might be useful to restrict certain pub- | ||
275 | lic keys to perform just a specific operation. An example might | ||
276 | be a key that permits remote backups but nothing else. Note that | ||
277 | the client may specify TCP and/or X11 forwarding unless they are | ||
278 | explicitly prohibited. The command originally supplied by the | ||
279 | client is available in the SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND environment vari- | ||
280 | able. Note that this option applies to shell, command or subsys- | ||
281 | tem execution. | ||
282 | |||
283 | environment="NAME=value" | ||
284 | Specifies that the string is to be added to the environment when | ||
285 | logging in using this key. Environment variables set this way | ||
286 | override other default environment values. Multiple options of | ||
287 | this type are permitted. Environment processing is disabled by | ||
288 | default and is controlled via the PermitUserEnvironment option. | ||
289 | This option is automatically disabled if UseLogin is enabled. | ||
290 | |||
291 | from="pattern-list" | ||
292 | Specifies that in addition to public key authentication, the | ||
293 | canonical name of the remote host must be present in the comma- | ||
294 | separated list of patterns. The purpose of this option is to op- | ||
295 | tionally increase security: public key authentication by itself | ||
296 | does not trust the network or name servers or anything (but the | ||
297 | key); however, if somebody somehow steals the key, the key per- | ||
298 | mits an intruder to log in from anywhere in the world. This ad- | ||
299 | ditional option makes using a stolen key more difficult (name | ||
300 | servers and/or routers would have to be compromised in addition | ||
301 | to just the key). | ||
302 | |||
303 | See PATTERNS in ssh_config(5) for more information on patterns. | ||
304 | |||
305 | no-agent-forwarding | ||
306 | Forbids authentication agent forwarding when this key is used for | ||
307 | authentication. | ||
308 | |||
309 | no-port-forwarding | ||
310 | Forbids TCP forwarding when this key is used for authentication. | ||
311 | Any port forward requests by the client will return an error. | ||
312 | This might be used, e.g. in connection with the command option. | ||
313 | |||
314 | no-pty Prevents tty allocation (a request to allocate a pty will fail). | ||
315 | |||
316 | no-X11-forwarding | ||
317 | Forbids X11 forwarding when this key is used for authentication. | ||
318 | Any X11 forward requests by the client will return an error. | ||
319 | |||
320 | permitopen="host:port" | ||
321 | Limit local ``ssh -L'' port forwarding such that it may only con- | ||
322 | nect to the specified host and port. IPv6 addresses can be spec- | ||
323 | ified with an alternative syntax: host/port. Multiple permitopen | ||
324 | options may be applied separated by commas. No pattern matching | ||
325 | is performed on the specified hostnames, they must be literal do- | ||
326 | mains or addresses. | ||
327 | |||
328 | tunnel="n" | ||
329 | Force a tun(4) device on the server. Without this option, the | ||
330 | next available device will be used if the client requests a tun- | ||
331 | nel. | ||
332 | |||

344 | jane@example.net | ||
345 | |||
346 | SSH_KNOWN_HOSTS FILE FORMAT | ||
347 | The /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts and ~/.ssh/known_hosts files contain host | ||
348 | public keys for all known hosts. The global file should be prepared by | ||
349 | the administrator (optional), and the per-user file is maintained auto- | ||
350 | matically: whenever the user connects from an unknown host, its key is | ||
351 | added to the per-user file. | ||
352 | |||
353 | Each line in these files contains the following fields: hostnames, bits, | ||
354 | exponent, modulus, comment. The fields are separated by spaces. | ||
355 | |||
356 | Hostnames is a comma-separated list of patterns (`*' and `?' act as wild- | ||
357 | cards); each pattern in turn is matched against the canonical host name | ||
358 | (when authenticating a client) or against the user-supplied name (when | ||
359 | authenticating a server). A pattern may also be preceded by `!' to indi- | ||
360 | cate negation: if the host name matches a negated pattern, it is not ac- | ||
361 | cepted (by that line) even if it matched another pattern on the line. A | ||
362 | hostname or address may optionally be enclosed within `[' and `]' brack- | ||
363 | ets then followed by `:' and a non-standard port number. | ||
364 | |||
365 | Alternately, hostnames may be stored in a hashed form which hides host | ||
366 | names and addresses should the file's contents be disclosed. Hashed | ||
367 | hostnames start with a `|' character. Only one hashed hostname may ap- | ||
368 | pear on a single line and none of the above negation or wildcard opera- | ||
369 | tors may be applied. | ||
370 | |||
371 | Bits, exponent, and modulus are taken directly from the RSA host key; | ||
372 | they can be obtained, for example, from /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.pub. The | ||
373 | optional comment field continues to the end of the line, and is not used. | ||
374 | |||
375 | Lines starting with `#' and empty lines are ignored as comments. | ||
376 | |||
377 | When performing host authentication, authentication is accepted if any | ||
378 | matching line has the proper key. It is thus permissible (but not recom- | ||
379 | mended) to have several lines or different host keys for the same names. | ||
380 | This will inevitably happen when short forms of host names from different | ||
381 | domains are put in the file. It is possible that the files contain con- | ||
382 | flicting information; authentication is accepted if valid information can | ||
383 | be found from either file. | ||
384 | |||
385 | Note that the lines in these files are typically hundreds of characters | ||
386 | long, and you definitely don't want to type in the host keys by hand. | ||
387 | Rather, generate them by a script or by taking /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.pub | ||
388 | and adding the host names at the front. | ||
389 | |||

399 | FILES | ||
400 | ~/.hushlogin | ||
401 | This file is used to suppress printing the last login time and | ||
402 | /etc/motd, if PrintLastLog and PrintMotd, respectively, are en- | ||
403 | abled. It does not suppress printing of the banner specified by | ||
404 | Banner. | ||
405 | |||
406 | ~/.rhosts | ||
407 | This file is used for host-based authentication (see ssh(1) for | ||
408 | more information). On some machines this file may need to be | ||
409 | world-readable if the user's home directory is on an NFS parti- | ||
410 | tion, because sshd reads it as root. Additionally, this file | ||
411 | must be owned by the user, and must not have write permissions | ||
412 | for anyone else. The recommended permission for most machines is | ||
413 | read/write for the user, and not accessible by others. | ||
414 | |||
415 | ~/.shosts | ||
416 | This file is used in exactly the same way as .rhosts, but allows | ||
417 | host-based authentication without permitting login with | ||
418 | rlogin/rsh. | ||
419 | |||
420 | ~/.ssh/authorized_keys | ||
421 | Lists the public keys (RSA/DSA) that can be used for logging in | ||
422 | as this user. The format of this file is described above. The | ||
423 | content of the file is not highly sensitive, but the recommended | ||
424 | permissions are read/write for the user, and not accessible by | ||
425 | others. | ||
426 | |||
427 | If this file, the ~/.ssh directory, or the user's home directory | ||
428 | are writable by other users, then the file could be modified or | ||
429 | replaced by unauthorized users. In this case, sshd will not al- | ||
430 | low it to be used unless the StrictModes option has been set to | ||
431 | ``no''. The recommended permissions can be set by executing | ||
432 | ``chmod go-w ~/ ~/.ssh ~/.ssh/authorized_keys''. | ||
433 | |||
434 | ~/.ssh/environment | ||
435 | This file is read into the environment at login (if it exists). | ||
436 | It can only contain empty lines, comment lines (that start with | ||
437 | `#'), and assignment lines of the form name=value. The file | ||
438 | should be writable only by the user; it need not be readable by | ||
439 | anyone else. Environment processing is disabled by default and | ||
440 | is controlled via the PermitUserEnvironment option. | ||
441 | |||
442 | ~/.ssh/known_hosts | ||
443 | Contains a list of host keys for all hosts the user has logged | ||
444 | into that are not already in the systemwide list of known host | ||
445 | keys. The format of this file is described above. This file | ||
446 | should be writable only by root/the owner and can, but need not | ||
447 | be, world-readable. | ||
448 | |||
449 | ~/.ssh/rc | ||
450 | Contains initialization routines to be run before the user's home | ||
451 | directory becomes accessible. This file should be writable only | ||
452 | by the user, and need not be readable by anyone else. | ||
453 | |||
454 | /etc/hosts.allow | ||
455 | /etc/hosts.deny | ||
456 | Access controls that should be enforced by tcp-wrappers are de- | ||
457 | fined here. Further details are described in hosts_access(5). | ||
458 | |||
459 | /etc/hosts.equiv | ||
460 | This file is for host-based authentication (see ssh(1)). It | ||
461 | should only be writable by root. | ||
462 | |||
463 | /etc/moduli | ||
464 | Contains Diffie-Hellman groups used for the "Diffie-Hellman Group | ||
465 | Exchange". The file format is described in moduli(5). | ||
466 | |||
467 | /etc/motd | ||
468 | See motd(5). | ||
469 | |||
470 | /etc/nologin | ||
471 | If this file exists, sshd refuses to let anyone except root log | ||
472 | in. The contents of the file are displayed to anyone trying to | ||
473 | log in, and non-root connections are refused. The file should be | ||
474 | world-readable. | ||
475 | |||
476 | /etc/shosts.equiv | ||
477 | This file is used in exactly the same way as hosts.equiv, but al- | ||
478 | lows host-based authentication without permitting login with | ||
479 | rlogin/rsh. | ||
480 | |||
481 | /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key | ||
482 | /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key | ||
483 | /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key | ||
484 | These three files contain the private parts of the host keys. | ||
485 | These files should only be owned by root, readable only by root, | ||
486 | and not accessible to others. Note that sshd does not start if | ||
487 | these files are group/world-accessible. | ||
488 | |||
489 | /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.pub | ||
490 | /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub | ||
491 | /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub | ||
492 | These three files contain the public parts of the host keys. | ||
493 | These files should be world-readable but writable only by root. | ||
494 | Their contents should match the respective private parts. These | ||
495 | files are not really used for anything; they are provided for the | ||
496 | convenience of the user so their contents can be copied to known | ||
497 | hosts files. These files are created using ssh-keygen(1). | ||
498 | |||
499 | /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts | ||
500 | Systemwide list of known host keys. This file should be prepared | ||
501 | by the system administrator to contain the public host keys of | ||
502 | all machines in the organization. The format of this file is de- | ||
503 | scribed above. This file should be writable only by root/the | ||
504 | owner and should be world-readable. | ||
505 | |||
506 | /etc/ssh/sshd_config | ||
507 | Contains configuration data for sshd. The file format and con- | ||
508 | figuration options are described in sshd_config(5). | ||
509 | |||
510 | /etc/ssh/sshrc | ||
511 | Similar to ~/.ssh/rc, it can be used to specify machine-specific | ||
512 | login-time initializations globally. This file should be | ||
513 | writable only by root, and should be world-readable. | ||
514 | |||
515 | /var/empty | ||
516 | chroot(2) directory used by sshd during privilege separation in | ||
517 | the pre-authentication phase. The directory should not contain | ||
518 | any files and must be owned by root and not group or world- | ||
519 | writable. | ||
520 | |||
521 | /var/run/sshd.pid | ||
522 | Contains the process ID of the sshd listening for connections (if | ||
523 | there are several daemons running concurrently for different | ||
524 | ports, this contains the process ID of the one started last). | ||
525 | The content of this file is not sensitive; it can be world-read- | ||
526 | able. | ||

542 | System security is not improved unless rshd, rlogind, and rexecd are dis- | ||
543 | abled (thus completely disabling rlogin and rsh into the machine). | ||
