DESCRIPTION
ssh (Secure Shell) is a program for logging into a remote machine and for
executing commands on a remote machine. It is intended to replace rlogin
and rsh, and provide secure encrypted communications between two untrust-
ed hosts over an insecure network. X11 connections and arbitrary TCP/IP
ports can also be forwarded over the secure channel.
ssh connects and logs into the specified hostname. The user must prove
his/her identity to the remote machine using one of several methods.
First, if the machine the user logs in from is listed in /etc/hosts.equiv
or /etc/shosts.equiv on the remote machine, and the user names are the
same on both sides, the user is immediately permitted to log in. Second,
if .rhosts or .shosts exists in the user's home directory on the remote
machine and contains a line containing the name of the client machine and
the name of the user on that machine, the user is permitted to log in.
This form of authentication alone is normally not allowed by the server
because it is not secure.
The second (and primary) authentication method is the rhosts or
hosts.equiv method combined with RSA-based host authentication. It means
that if the login would be permitted by .rhosts, .shosts,
/etc/hosts.equiv, or /etc/shosts.equiv, and if additionally the server
can verify the client's host key (see /etc/ssh_known_hosts in the FILES
section), only then login is permitted. This authentication method clos-
es security holes due to IP spoofing, DNS spoofing and routing spoofing.
[Note to the administrator: /etc/hosts.equiv, .rhosts, and the rlogin/rsh
protocol in general, are inherently insecure and should be disabled if
security is desired.]
As a third authentication method, ssh supports RSA based authentication.
The scheme is based on public-key cryptography: there are cryptosystems
where encryption and decryption are done using separate keys, and it is
not possible to derive the decryption key from the encryption key. RSA
is one such system. The idea is that each user creates a public/private
key pair for authentication purposes. The server knows the public key,
and only the user knows the private key. The file
$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys lists the public keys that are permitted for
logging in. When the user logs in, the ssh program tells the server
which key pair it would like to use for authentication. The server
checks if this key is permitted, and if so, sends the user (actually the
ssh program running on behalf of the user) a challenge, a random number,
encrypted by the user's public key. The challenge can only be decrypted
using the proper private key. The user's client then decrypts the chal-
lenge using the private key, proving that he/she knows the private key
but without disclosing it to the server.
ssh implements the RSA authentication protocol automatically. The user
creates his/her RSA key pair by running ssh-keygen(1). This stores the
private key in .ssh/identity and the public key in .ssh/identity.pub in
the user's home directory. The user should then copy the identity.pub to
.ssh/authorized_keys in his/her home directory on the remote machine (the
authorized_keys file corresponds to the conventional .rhosts file, and
has one key per line, though the lines can be very long). After this,
the user can log in without giving the password. RSA authentication is
much more secure than rhosts authentication.
The most convenient way to use RSA authentication may be with an authen-
tication agent. See ssh-agent(1) for more information.
If other authentication methods fail, ssh prompts the user for a pass-
word. The password is sent to the remote host for checking; however,
since all communications are encrypted, the password cannot be seen by
someone listening on the network.
When the user's identity has been accepted by the server, the server ei-
ther executes the given command, or logs into the machine and gives the
user a normal shell on the remote machine. All communication with the
remote command or shell will be automatically encrypted.
If a pseudo-terminal has been allocated (normal login session), the user
can disconnect with ~., and suspend ssh with ~^Z. All forwarded connec-
tions can be listed with ~# and if the session blocks waiting for for-
warded X11 or TCP/IP connections to terminate, it can be backgrounded
with ~& (this should not be used while the user shell is active, as it
can cause the shell to hang). All available escapes can be listed with
~?.
A single tilde character can be sent as ~~ (or by following the tilde by
a character other than those described above). The escape character must
always follow a newline to be interpreted as special. The escape charac-
ter can be changed in configuration files or on the command line.
If no pseudo tty has been allocated, the session is transparent and can
be used to reliably transfer binary data. On most systems, setting the
escape character to ``none'' will also make the session transparent even
if a tty is used.
The session terminates when the command or shell in on the remote machine
exists and all X11 and TCP/IP connections have been closed. The exit
status of the remote program is returned as the exit status of ssh.
If the user is using X11 (the DISPLAY environment variable is set), the
connection to the X11 display is automatically forwarded to the remote
side in such a way that any X11 programs started from the shell (or com-
mand) will go through the encrypted channel, and the connection to the
real X server will be made from the local machine. The user should not
manually set DISPLAY. Forwarding of X11 connections can be configured on
the command line or in configuration files.
The DISPLAY value set by ssh will point to the server machine, but with a
display number greater than zero. This is normal, and happens because
ssh creates a ``proxy'' X server on the server machine for forwarding the
connections over the encrypted channel.
ssh will also automatically set up Xauthority data on the server machine.
For this purpose, it will generate a random authorization cookie, store
it in Xauthority on the server, and verify that any forwarded connections
carry this cookie and replace it by the real cookie when the connection
is opened. The real authentication cookie is never sent to the server
machine (and no cookies are sent in the plain).
If the user is using an authentication agent, the connection to the agent
is automatically forwarded to the remote side unless disabled on command
line or in a configuration file.
Forwarding of arbitrary TCP/IP connections over the secure channel can be
specified either on command line or in a configuration file. One possi-
ble application of TCP/IP forwarding is a secure connection to an elec-
tronic purse; another is going trough firewalls.
ssh automatically maintains and checks a database containing RSA-based
identifications for all hosts it has ever been used with. The database
is stored in .ssh/known_hosts in the user's home directory. Additional-
ly, the file /etc/ssh_known_hosts is automatically checked for known
hosts. Any new hosts are automatically added to the user's file. If a
host's identification ever changes, ssh warns about this and disables
password authentication to prevent a trojan horse from getting the user's
password. Another purpose of this mechanism is to prevent man-in-the-
middle attacks which could otherwise be used to circumvent the encryp-
tion. The StrictHostKeyChecking option (see below) can be used to pre-
vent logins to machines whose host key is not known or has changed.
OPTIONS
-a Disables forwarding of the authentication agent connection. This
may also be specified on a per-host basis in the configuration
file.
-c blowfish|3des
Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the session. 3des is
used by default. It is believed to be secure. 3des (triple-des)
is an encrypt-decrypt-encrypt triple with three different keys.
It is presumably more secure than the des cipher which is no
longer supported in ssh. blowfish is a fast block cipher, it ap-
pears very secure and is much faster than 3des.
-e ch|^ch|none
Sets the escape character for sessions with a pty (default: `~').
The escape character is only recognized at the beginning of a
line. The escape character followed by a dot (`.') closes the
connection, followed by control-Z suspends the connection, and
followed by itself sends the escape character once. Setting the
character to ``none'' disables any escapes and makes the session
fully transparent.
-f Requests ssh to go to background after authentication. This is
useful if ssh is going to ask for passwords or passphrases, but
the user wants it in the background. This implies -n. The recom-
mended way to start X11 programs at a remote site is with some-
thing like ssh -f host xterm.
-i identity_file
Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for RSA
authentication is read. Default is .ssh/identity in the user's
home directory. Identity files may also be specified on a per-
host basis in the configuration file. It is possible to have
multiple -i options (and multiple identities specified in config-
uration files).
-g Allows remote hosts to connect to local forwarded ports.
-k Disables forwarding of Kerberos tickets and AFS tokens. This may
also be specified on a per-host basis in the configuration file.
-l login_name
Specifies the user to log in as on the remote machine. This may
also be specified on a per-host basis in the configuration file.
-n Redirects stdin from /dev/null (actually, prevents reading from
stdin). This must be used when ssh is run in the background. A
common trick is to use this to run X11 programs in a remote ma-
chine. For example, ssh -n shadows.cs.hut.fi emacs & will start
an emacs on shadows.cs.hut.fi, and the X11 connection will be au-
tomatically forwarded over an encrypted channel. The ssh program
will be put in the background. (This does not work if ssh needs
to ask for a password or passphrase; see also the -f option.)
-o option
Can be used to give options in the format used in the config
file. This is useful for specifying options for which there is
no separate command-line flag. The option has the same format as
a line in the configuration file.
-p port
Port to connect to on the remote host. This can be specified on
a per-host basis in the configuration file.
-P Use a non-privileged port for outgoing connections. This can be
used if your firewall does not permit connections from privileged
ports. Note that this option turns of RhostsAuthentication and
RhostsRSAAuthentication.
-q Quiet mode. Causes all warning and diagnostic messages to be
suppressed. Only fatal errors are displayed.
-t Force pseudo-tty allocation. This can be used to execute ar-
bitary screen-based programs on a remote machine, which can be
very useful e.g. when implementing menu services.
-v Verbose mode. Causes ssh to print debugging messages about its
progress. This is helpful in debugging connection, authentica-
tion, and configuration problems. The verbose mode is also used
to display skey(1) challenges, if the user entered "s/key" as
password.
-x Disables X11 forwarding. This can also be specified on a per-
host basis in a configuration file.
-X Enables X11 forwarding.
-C Requests compression of all data (including stdin, stdout,
stderr, and data for forwarded X11 and TCP/IP connections). The
compression algorithm is the same used by gzip, and the ``level''
can be controlled by the CompressionLevel option (see below).
Compression is desirable on modem lines and other slow connec-
tions, but will only slow down things on fast networks. The de-
fault value can be set on a host-by-host basis in the configura-
tion files; see the Compress option below.
-L port:host:hostport
Specifies that the given port on the local (client) host is to be
forwarded to the given host and port on the remote side. This
works by allocating a socket to listen to port on the local side,
and whenever a connection is made to this port, the connection is
forwarded over the secure channel, and a connection is made to
host:hostport from the remote machine. Port forwardings can also
be specified in the configuration file. Only root can forward
privileged ports.
-R port:host:hostport
Specifies that the given port on the remote (server) host is to
be forwarded to the given host and port on the local side. This
works by allocating a socket to listen to port on the remote
side, and whenever a connection is made to this port, the connec-
tion is forwarded over the secure channel, and a connection is
made to host:hostport from the local machine. Port forwardings
can also be specified in the configuration file. Privileged
ports can be forwarded only when logging in as root on the remote
machine.
CONFIGURATION FILES
ssh obtains configuration data from the following sources (in this or-
der): command line options, user's configuration file
($HOME/.ssh/config), and system-wide configuration file
(/etc/ssh_config). For each parameter, the first obtained value will be
used. The configuration files contain sections bracketed by "Host" spec-
ifications, and that section is only applied for hosts that match one of
the patterns given in the specification. The matched host name is the
one given on the command line.
Since the first obtained value for each parameter is used, more host-spe-
cific declarations should be given near the beginning of the file, and
general defaults at the end.
The configuration file has the following format:
Empty lines and lines starting with `#' are comments.
Otherwise a line is of the format ``keyword arguments''. The possible
keywords and their meanings are as follows (note that the configuration
files are case-sensitive):
Host Restricts the following declarations (up to the next Host key-
word) to be only for those hosts that match one of the patterns
given after the keyword. `*' and `?' can be used as wildcards in
the patterns. A single `*' as a pattern can be used to provide
global defaults for all hosts. The host is the hostname argument
given on the command line (i.e., the name is not converted to a
canonicalized host name before matching).
AFSTokenPassing
Specifies whether to pass AFS tokens to remote host. The argument
to this keyword must be ``yes'' or ``no''.
BatchMode
If set to ``yes'', passphrase/password querying will be disabled.
This option is useful in scripts and other batch jobs where you
have no user to supply the password. The argument must be
``yes'' or ``no''.
Cipher Specifies the cipher to use for encrypting the session. Current-
ly, ``blowfish'', and ``3des'' are supported. The default is
``3des''.
Compression
Specifies whether to use compression. The argument must be
``yes'' or ``no''.
CompressionLevel
Specifies the compression level to use if compression is enable.
The argument must be an integer from 1 (fast) to 9 (slow, best).
The default level is 6, which is good for most applications. The
meaning of the values is the same as in GNU GZIP.
ConnectionAttempts
Specifies the number of tries (one per second) to make before
falling back to rsh or exiting. The argument must be an integer.
This may be useful in scripts if the connection sometimes fails.
EscapeChar
Sets the escape character (default: `~'). The escape character
can also be set on the command line. The argument should be a
single character, `^' followed by a letter, or ``none'' to dis-
able the escape character entirely (making the connection trans-
parent for binary data).
FallBackToRsh
Specifies that if connecting via ssh fails due to a connection
refused error (there is no sshd(8) listening on the remote host),
rsh(1) should automatically be used instead (after a suitable
warning about the session being unencrypted). The argument must
be ``yes'' or ``no''.
ForwardAgent
Specifies whether the connection to the authentication agent (if
any) will be forwarded to the remote machine. The argument must
be ``yes'' or ``no''.
ForwardX11
Specifies whether X11 connections will be automatically redirect-
ed over the secure channel and DISPLAY set. The argument must be
``yes'' or ``no''.
GatewayPorts
Specifies whether remote hosts are allowed to connect to local
forwarded ports. The argument must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The de-
fault is ``no''.
GlobalKnownHostsFile
Specifies a file to use instead of /etc/ssh_known_hosts.
HostName
Specifies the real host name to log into. This can be used to
specify nicnames or abbreviations for hosts. Default is the name
given on the command line. Numeric IP addresses are also permit-
ted (both on the command line and in HostName specifications).
IdentityFile
Specifies the file from which the user's RSA authentication iden-
tity is read (default .ssh/identity in the user's home directo-
ry). Additionally, any identities represented by the authentica-
tion agent will be used for authentication. The file name may
use the tilde syntax to refer to a user's home directory. It is
possible to have multiple identity files specified in configura-
tion files; all these identities will be tried in sequence.
KeepAlive
Specifies whether the system should send keepalive messages to
the other side. If they are sent, death of the connection or
crash of one of the machines will be properly noticed. However,
this means that connections will die if the route is down tem-
porarily, and some people find it annoying.
The default is ``yes'' (to send keepalives), and the client will
notice if the network goes down or the remote host dies. This is
important in scripts, and many users want it too.
To disable keepalives, the value should be set to ``no'' in both
the server and the client configuration files.
KerberosAuthentication
Specifies whether Kerberos authentication will be used. The argu-
ment to this keyword must be ``yes'' or ``no''.
KerberosTgtPassing
Specifies whether a Kerberos TGT will be forwarded to the server.
This will only work if the Kerberos server is actually an AFS
kaserver. The argument to this keyword must be ``yes'' or ``no''.
LocalForward
Specifies that a TCP/IP port on the local machine be forwarded
over the secure channel to given host:port from the remote ma-
chine. The first argument must be a port number, and the second
must be host:port. Multiple forwardings may be specified, and
additional forwardings can be given on the command line. Only
the root can forward privileged ports.
PasswordAuthentication
Specifies whether to use password authentication. The argument
to this keyword must be ``yes'' or ``no''.
NumberOfPasswordPrompts
Specifies the number of password prompts before giving up. The
argument to this keyword must be an integer. Default is 3.
Port Specifies the port number to connect on the remote host. Default
is 22.
ProxyCommand
Specifies the command to use to connect to the server. The com-
mand string extends to the end of the line, and is executed with
/bin/sh. In the command string, %h will be substituted by the
host name to connect and %p by the port. The command can be ba-
sically anything, and should read from its stdin and write to its
stdout. It should eventually connect an sshd(8) server running
on some machine, or execute sshd -i somewhere. Host key manage-
ment will be done using the HostName of the host being connected
(defaulting to the name typed by the user).
RemoteForward
Specifies that a TCP/IP port on the remote machine be forwarded
over the secure channel to given host:port from the local ma-
chine. The first argument must be a port number, and the second
must be host:port. Multiple forwardings may be specified, and
additional forwardings can be given on the command line. Only
the root can forward privileged ports.
RhostsAuthentication
Specifies whether to try rhosts based authentication. Note that
this declaration only affects the client side and has no effect
whatsoever on security. Disabling rhosts authentication may re-
duce authentication time on slow connections when rhosts authen-
tication is not used. Most servers do not permit RhostsAuthenti-
cation because it is not secure (see RhostsRSAAuthentication).
The argument to this keyword must be ``yes'' or ``no''.
RhostsRSAAuthentication
Specifies whether to try rhosts based authentication with RSA
host authentication. This is the primary authentication method
for most sites. The argument must be ``yes'' or ``no''.
RSAAuthentication
Specifies whether to try RSA authentication. The argument to
this keyword must be ``yes'' or ``no''. RSA authentication will
only be attempted if the identity file exists, or an authentica-
tion agent is running.
CheckHostIP
If this flag is set to ``yes'', ssh will additionally check the
host ip address in the known_hosts file. This allows ssh to de-
tect if a host key changed due to DNS spoofing. If the option is
set to ``no'', the check will not be executed.
StrictHostKeyChecking
If this flag is set to ``yes'', ssh ssh will never automatically
add host keys to the $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts file, and refuses to
connect hosts whose host key has changed. This provides maximum
protection against trojan horse attacks. However, it can be
somewhat annoying if you don't have good /etc/ssh_known_hosts
files installed and frequently connect new hosts. Basically this
option forces the user to manually add any new hosts. Normally
this option is disabled, and new hosts will automatically be
added to the known host files. The host keys of known hosts will
be verified automatically in either case. The argument must be
``yes'' or ``no''.
User Specifies the user to log in as. This can be useful if you have
a different user name in different machines. This saves the
trouble of having to remember to give the user name on the com-
mand line.
UserKnownHostsFile
Specifies a file to use instead of $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts.
UsePrivilegedPort
Specifies whether to use a privileged port for outgoing connec-
tions. The argument must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The default is
``yes''. Note that setting this option to ``no'' turns of
RhostsAuthentication and RhostsRSAAuthentication.
UseRsh Specifies that rlogin/rsh should be used for this host. It is
possible that the host does not at all support the ssh protocol.
This causes ssh to immediately exec rsh(1). All other options
(except HostName) are ignored if this has been specified. The
argument must be ``yes'' or ``no''.
ENVIRONMENT
ssh will normally set the following environment variables:
DISPLAY
The DISPLAY variable indicates the location of the X11 server.
It is automatically set by ssh to point to a value of the form
``hostname:n'' where hostname indicates the host where the shell
runs, and n is an integer >= 1. Ssh uses this special value to
forward X11 connections over the secure channel. The user should
normally not set DISPLAY explicitly, as that will render the X11
connection insecure (and will require the user to manually copy
any required authorization cookies).
HOME Set to the path of the user's home directory.
LOGNAME
Synonym for USER; set for compatibility with systems that use
this variable.
MAIL Set to point the user's mailbox.
PATH Set to the default PATH, as specified when compiling ssh.
SSH_AUTH_SOCK
indicates the path of a unix-domain socket used to communicate
with the agent.
SSH_CLIENT
Identifies the client end of the connection. The variable con-
tains three space-separated values: client ip-address, client
port number, and server port number.
SSH_TTY
This is set to the name of the tty (path to the device) associat-
ed with the current shell or command. If the current session has
no tty, this variable is not set.
TZ The timezone variable is set to indicate the present timezone if
it was set when the daemon was started (e.i., the daemon passes
the value on to new connections).
USER Set to the name of the user logging in.
Additionally, ssh reads $HOME/.ssh/environment, and adds lines of the
format ``VARNAME=value'' to the environment.
FILES
$HOME/.ssh/known_hosts Records host keys for all hosts the user has
logged into (that are not in
/etc/ssh_known_hosts). See sshd(8).
$HOME/.ssh/random_seed Used for seeding the random number generator.
This file contains sensitive data and should
read/write for the user and not accessible for
others. This file is created the first time the
program is run and updated automatically. The
user should never need to read or modify this
file.
$HOME/.ssh/identity Contains the RSA authentication identity of the
user. This file contains sensitive data and
should be readable by the user but not accessible
by others (read/write/execute). Note that ssh
ignores this file if it is accessible by others.
It is possible to specify a passphrase when gen-
erating the key; the passphrase will be used to
encrypt the sensitive part of this file using
3DES.
$HOME/.ssh/identity.pub
Contains the public key for authentication (pub-
lic part of the identity file in human-readable
form). The contents of this file should be added
to $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys on all machines
where you wish to log in using RSA authentica-
tion. This file is not sensitive and can (but
need not) be readable by anyone. This file is
never used automatically and is not necessary; it
is only provided for the convenience of the user.
$HOME/.ssh/config This is the per-user configuration file. The
format of this file is described above. This
file is used by the ssh client. This file does
not usually contain any sensitive information,
but the recommended permissions are read/write
for the user, and not accessible by others.
$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
Lists the RSA keys that can be used for logging
in as this user. The format of this file is de-
scribed in the sshd(8) manual page. In the sim-
plest form the format is the same as the .pub
identity files (that is, each line contains the
number of bits in modulus, public exponent, modu-
lus, and comment fields, separated by spaces).
This file is not highly sensitive, but the recom-
mended permissions are read/write for the user,
and not accessible by others.
/etc/ssh_known_hosts Systemwide list of known host keys. This file
should be prepared by the system administrator to
contain the public host keys of all machines in
the organization. This file should be world-
readable. This file contains public keys, one
per line, in the following format (fields sepa-
rated by spaces): system name, number of bits in
modulus, public exponent, modulus, and optional
comment field. When different names are used for
the same machine, all such names should be list-
ed, separated by commas. The format is described
on the sshd(8) manual page.
The canonical system name (as returned by name
servers) is used by sshd(8) to verify the client
host when logging in; other names are needed be-
cause ssh does not convert the user-supplied name
to a canonical name before checking the key, be-
cause someone with access to the name servers
would then be able to fool host authentication.
/etc/ssh_config Systemwide configuration file. This file pro-
vides defaults for those values that are not
specified in the user's configuration file, and
for those users who do not have a configuration
file. This file must be world-readable.
$HOME/.rhosts This file is used in .rhosts authentication to
list the host/user pairs that are permitted to
log in. (Note that this file is also used by
rlogin and rsh, which makes using this file inse-
cure.) Each line of the file contains a host
name (in the canonical form returned by name
servers), and then a user name on that host, sep-
arated by a space. One some machines this file
may need to be world-readable if the user's home
directory is on a NFS partition, because sshd(8)
reads it as root. Additionally, this file must
be owned by the user, and must not have write
permissions for anyone else. The recommended
permission for most machines is read/write for
the user, and not accessible by others.
Note that by default sshd(8) will be installed so
that it requires successful RSA host authentica-
tion before permitting .rhosts authentication.
If your server machine does not have the client's
host key in /etc/ssh_known_hosts, you can store
it in $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts. The easiest way to
do this is to connect back to the client from the
server machine using ssh; this will automatically
add the host key inxi $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts.
$HOME/.shosts This file is used exactly the same way as
.rhosts. The purpose for having this file is to
be able to use rhosts authentication with ssh
without permitting login with rlogin(1) or
rsh(1).
/etc/hosts.equiv This file is used during .rhosts authentication.
It contains canonical hosts names, one per line
(the full format is described on the sshd(8) man-
ual page). If the client host is found in this
file, login is automatically permitted provided
client and server user names are the same. Addi-
tionally, successful RSA host authentication is
normally required. This file should only be
writable by root.
/etc/shosts.equiv This file is processed exactly as
/etc/hosts.equiv. This file may be useful to per-
mit logins using ssh but not using rsh/rlogin.
/etc/sshrc Commands in this file are executed by ssh when
the user logs in just before the user's shell (or
command) is started. See the sshd(8) manual page
for more information.
$HOME/.ssh/rc Commands in this file are executed by ssh when
the user logs in just before the user's shell (or
command) is started. See the sshd(8) manual page
for more information.
libcrypto.so.X.1 A version of this library which includes support
for the RSA algorithm is required for proper op-
eration.

OpenSSH is a derivative of the original (free) ssh 1.2.12 release, but
with bugs removed and newer features re-added. Rapidly after the 1.2.12
release, newer versions bore successively more restrictive licenses.
This version of OpenSSH
- has all components of a restrictive nature (ie. patents, see ssl(8))
directly removed from the source code; any licensed or patented com-
ponents are chosen from external libraries.
- has been updated to support ssh protocol 1.5.
- contains added support for kerberos(8) authentication and ticket
passing.
- supports one-time password authentication with skey(1).
The libraries described in ssl(8) are required for proper operation.
