40.Dt SSHD_CONFIG 5
41.Os
42.Sh NAME
43.Nm sshd_config
44.Nd OpenSSH SSH daemon configuration file
45.Sh SYNOPSIS
46.Bl -tag -width Ds -compact
47.It Pa /etc/ssh/sshd_config
48.El
49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50.Nm sshd
51reads configuration data from
52.Pa /etc/ssh/sshd_config
53(or the file specified with
54.Fl f
55on the command line).
56The file contains keyword-argument pairs, one per line.
57Lines starting with
58.Ql #
59and empty lines are interpreted as comments.
60.Pp
61The possible
62keywords and their meanings are as follows (note that
63keywords are case-insensitive and arguments are case-sensitive):
64.Bl -tag -width Ds
65.It Cm AcceptEnv
66Specifies what environment variables sent by the client will be copied into
67the session's
68.Xr environ 7 .
69See
70.Cm SendEnv
71in
72.Xr ssh_config 5
73for how to configure the client.
74Note that environment passing is only supported for protocol 2.
75Variables are specified by name, which may contain the wildcard characters
76.Ql \&*
77and
78.Ql \&? .
79Multiple environment variables may be separated by whitespace or spread
80across multiple
81.Cm AcceptEnv
82directives.
83Be warned that some environment variables could be used to bypass restricted
84user environments.
85For this reason, care should be taken in the use of this directive.
86The default is not to accept any environment variables.
87.It Cm AllowGroups
88This keyword can be followed by a list of group name patterns, separated
89by spaces.
90If specified, login is allowed only for users whose primary
91group or supplementary group list matches one of the patterns.
92.Ql \&*
93and
94.Ql \&?
95can be used as
96wildcards in the patterns.
97Only group names are valid; a numerical group ID is not recognized.
98By default, login is allowed for all groups.
99.It Cm AllowTcpForwarding
100Specifies whether TCP forwarding is permitted.
101The default is
102.Dq yes .
103Note that disabling TCP forwarding does not improve security unless
104users are also denied shell access, as they can always install their
105own forwarders.
106.It Cm AllowUsers
107This keyword can be followed by a list of user name patterns, separated
108by spaces.
109If specified, login is allowed only for user names that
110match one of the patterns.
111.Ql \&*
112and
113.Ql \&?
114can be used as
115wildcards in the patterns.
116Only user names are valid; a numerical user ID is not recognized.
117By default, login is allowed for all users.
118If the pattern takes the form USER@HOST then USER and HOST
119are separately checked, restricting logins to particular
120users from particular hosts.
121.It Cm AuthorizedKeysFile
122Specifies the file that contains the public keys that can be used
123for user authentication.
124.Cm AuthorizedKeysFile
125may contain tokens of the form %T which are substituted during connection
126set-up.
127The following tokens are defined: %% is replaced by a literal '%',
128%h is replaced by the home directory of the user being authenticated and
129%u is replaced by the username of that user.
130After expansion,
131.Cm AuthorizedKeysFile
132is taken to be an absolute path or one relative to the user's home
133directory.
134The default is
135.Dq .ssh/authorized_keys .
136.It Cm Banner
137In some jurisdictions, sending a warning message before authentication
138may be relevant for getting legal protection.
139The contents of the specified file are sent to the remote user before
140authentication is allowed.
141This option is only available for protocol version 2.
142By default, no banner is displayed.
143.It Cm ChallengeResponseAuthentication
144Specifies whether challenge-response authentication is allowed.
145Specifically, in
146.Fx ,
147this controls the use of PAM (see
148.Xr pam 3 )
149for authentication.
150Note that this affects the effectiveness of the
151.Cm PasswordAuthentication
152and
153.Cm PermitRootLogin
154variables.
155The default is
156.Dq yes .
157.It Cm Ciphers
158Specifies the ciphers allowed for protocol version 2.
159Multiple ciphers must be comma-separated.
160The supported ciphers are
161.Dq 3des-cbc ,
162.Dq aes128-cbc ,
163.Dq aes192-cbc ,
164.Dq aes256-cbc ,
165.Dq aes128-ctr ,
166.Dq aes192-ctr ,
167.Dq aes256-ctr ,
168.Dq arcfour ,
169.Dq blowfish-cbc ,
170and
171.Dq cast128-cbc .
172The default is
173.Bd -literal
174  ``aes128-cbc,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,cast128-cbc,arcfour,
175    aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc,aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr''
176.Ed
177.It Cm ClientAliveInterval
178Sets a timeout interval in seconds after which if no data has been received
179from the client,
180.Nm sshd
181will send a message through the encrypted
182channel to request a response from the client.
183The default
184is 0, indicating that these messages will not be sent to the client.
185This option applies to protocol version 2 only.
186.It Cm ClientAliveCountMax
187Sets the number of client alive messages (see above) which may be
188sent without
189.Nm sshd
190receiving any messages back from the client.
191If this threshold is reached while client alive messages are being sent,
192.Nm sshd
193will disconnect the client, terminating the session.
194It is important to note that the use of client alive messages is very
195different from
196.Cm TCPKeepAlive
197(below).
198The client alive messages are sent through the encrypted channel
199and therefore will not be spoofable.
200The TCP keepalive option enabled by
201.Cm TCPKeepAlive
202is spoofable.
203The client alive mechanism is valuable when the client or
204server depend on knowing when a connection has become inactive.
205.Pp
206The default value is 3.
207If
208.Cm ClientAliveInterval
209(above) is set to 15, and
210.Cm ClientAliveCountMax
211is left at the default, unresponsive ssh clients
212will be disconnected after approximately 45 seconds.
213.It Cm Compression
214Specifies whether compression is allowed.
215The argument must be
216.Dq yes
217or
218.Dq no .
219The default is
220.Dq yes .
221.It Cm DenyGroups
222This keyword can be followed by a list of group name patterns, separated
223by spaces.
224Login is disallowed for users whose primary group or supplementary
225group list matches one of the patterns.
226.Ql \&*
227and
228.Ql \&?
229can be used as
230wildcards in the patterns.
231Only group names are valid; a numerical group ID is not recognized.
232By default, login is allowed for all groups.
233.It Cm DenyUsers
234This keyword can be followed by a list of user name patterns, separated
235by spaces.
236Login is disallowed for user names that match one of the patterns.
237.Ql \&*
238and
239.Ql \&?
240can be used as wildcards in the patterns.
241Only user names are valid; a numerical user ID is not recognized.
242By default, login is allowed for all users.
243If the pattern takes the form USER@HOST then USER and HOST
244are separately checked, restricting logins to particular
245users from particular hosts.
246.It Cm GatewayPorts
247Specifies whether remote hosts are allowed to connect to ports
248forwarded for the client.
249By default,
250.Nm sshd
251binds remote port forwardings to the loopback address.
252This prevents other remote hosts from connecting to forwarded ports.
253.Cm GatewayPorts
254can be used to specify that
255.Nm sshd
256should bind remote port forwardings to the wildcard address,
257thus allowing remote hosts to connect to forwarded ports.
258The argument must be
259.Dq yes
260or
261.Dq no .
262The default is
263.Dq no .
264.It Cm GSSAPIAuthentication
265Specifies whether user authentication based on GSSAPI is allowed.
266The default is
267.Dq no .
268Note that this option applies to protocol version 2 only.
269.It Cm GSSAPICleanupCredentials
270Specifies whether to automatically destroy the user's credentials cache
271on logout.
272The default is
273.Dq yes .
274Note that this option applies to protocol version 2 only.
275.It Cm HostbasedAuthentication
276Specifies whether rhosts or /etc/hosts.equiv authentication together
277with successful public key client host authentication is allowed
278(hostbased authentication).
279This option is similar to
280.Cm RhostsRSAAuthentication
281and applies to protocol version 2 only.
282The default is
283.Dq no .
284.It Cm HostKey
285Specifies a file containing a private host key
286used by SSH.
287The default is
288.Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
289for protocol version 1, and
290.Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
291for protocol version 2.
292Note that
293.Nm sshd
294will refuse to use a file if it is group/world-accessible.
295It is possible to have multiple host key files.
296.Dq rsa1
297keys are used for version 1 and
298.Dq dsa
299or
300.Dq rsa
301are used for version 2 of the SSH protocol.
302.It Cm IgnoreRhosts
303Specifies that
304.Pa .rhosts
305and
306.Pa .shosts
307files will not be used in
308.Cm RhostsRSAAuthentication
309or
310.Cm HostbasedAuthentication .
311.Pp
312.Pa /etc/hosts.equiv
313and
314.Pa /etc/ssh/shosts.equiv
315are still used.
316The default is
317.Dq yes .
318.It Cm IgnoreUserKnownHosts
319Specifies whether
320.Nm sshd
321should ignore the user's
322.Pa $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts
323during
324.Cm RhostsRSAAuthentication
325or
326.Cm HostbasedAuthentication .
327The default is
328.Dq no .
329.It Cm KerberosAuthentication
330Specifies whether the password provided by the user for
331.Cm PasswordAuthentication
332will be validated through the Kerberos KDC.
333To use this option, the server needs a
334Kerberos servtab which allows the verification of the KDC's identity.
335Default is
336.Dq no .
337.It Cm KerberosGetAFSToken
338If AFS is active and the user has a Kerberos 5 TGT, attempt to aquire
339an AFS token before accessing the user's home directory.
340Default is
341.Dq no .
342.It Cm KerberosOrLocalPasswd
343If set then if password authentication through Kerberos fails then
344the password will be validated via any additional local mechanism
345such as
346.Pa /etc/passwd .
347Default is
348.Dq yes .
349.It Cm KerberosTicketCleanup
350Specifies whether to automatically destroy the user's ticket cache
351file on logout.
352Default is
353.Dq yes .
354.It Cm KeyRegenerationInterval
355In protocol version 1, the ephemeral server key is automatically regenerated
356after this many seconds (if it has been used).
357The purpose of regeneration is to prevent
358decrypting captured sessions by later breaking into the machine and
359stealing the keys.
360The key is never stored anywhere.
361If the value is 0, the key is never regenerated.
362The default is 3600 (seconds).
363.It Cm ListenAddress
364Specifies the local addresses
365.Nm sshd
366should listen on.
367The following forms may be used:
368.Pp
369.Bl -item -offset indent -compact
370.It
371.Cm ListenAddress
372.Sm off
373.Ar host No | Ar IPv4_addr No | Ar IPv6_addr
374.Sm on
375.It
376.Cm ListenAddress
377.Sm off
378.Ar host No | Ar IPv4_addr No : Ar port
379.Sm on
380.It
381.Cm ListenAddress
382.Sm off
383.Oo
384.Ar host No | Ar IPv6_addr Oc : Ar port
385.Sm on
386.El
387.Pp
388If
389.Ar port
390is not specified,
391.Nm sshd
392will listen on the address and all prior
393.Cm Port
394options specified.
395The default is to listen on all local addresses.
396Multiple
397.Cm ListenAddress
398options are permitted.
399Additionally, any
400.Cm Port
401options must precede this option for non port qualified addresses.
402.It Cm LoginGraceTime
403The server disconnects after this time if the user has not
404successfully logged in.
405If the value is 0, there is no time limit.
406The default is 120 seconds.
407.It Cm LogLevel
408Gives the verbosity level that is used when logging messages from
409.Nm sshd .
410The possible values are:
411QUIET, FATAL, ERROR, INFO, VERBOSE, DEBUG, DEBUG1, DEBUG2 and DEBUG3.
412The default is INFO.
413DEBUG and DEBUG1 are equivalent.
414DEBUG2 and DEBUG3 each specify higher levels of debugging output.
415Logging with a DEBUG level violates the privacy of users and is not recommended.
416.It Cm MACs
417Specifies the available MAC (message authentication code) algorithms.
418The MAC algorithm is used in protocol version 2
419for data integrity protection.
420Multiple algorithms must be comma-separated.
421The default is
422.Dq hmac-md5,hmac-sha1,hmac-ripemd160,hmac-sha1-96,hmac-md5-96 .
423.It Cm MaxAuthTries
424Specifies the maximum number of authentication attempts permitted per
425connection.
426Once the number of failures reaches half this value,
427additional failures are logged.
428The default is 6.
429.It Cm MaxStartups
430Specifies the maximum number of concurrent unauthenticated connections to the
431.Nm sshd
432daemon.
433Additional connections will be dropped until authentication succeeds or the
434.Cm LoginGraceTime
435expires for a connection.
436The default is 10.
437.Pp
438Alternatively, random early drop can be enabled by specifying
439the three colon separated values
440.Dq start:rate:full
441(e.g., "10:30:60").
442.Nm sshd
443will refuse connection attempts with a probability of
444.Dq rate/100
445(30%)
446if there are currently
447.Dq start
448(10)
449unauthenticated connections.
450The probability increases linearly and all connection attempts
451are refused if the number of unauthenticated connections reaches
452.Dq full
453(60).
454.It Cm PasswordAuthentication
455Specifies whether password authentication is allowed.
456The default is
457.Dq no ,
458unless
459.Nm sshd
460was built without PAM support, in which case the default is
461.Dq yes .
462Note that if
463.Cm ChallengeResponseAuthentication
464is
465.Dq yes ,
466and the PAM authentication policy for
467.Nm sshd
468includes
469.Xr pam_unix 8 ,
470password authentication will be allowed through the challenge-response
471mechanism regardless of the value of
472.Cm PasswordAuthentication .
473.It Cm PermitEmptyPasswords
474When password authentication is allowed, it specifies whether the
475server allows login to accounts with empty password strings.
476The default is
477.Dq no .
478.It Cm PermitRootLogin
479Specifies whether root can login using
480.Xr ssh 1 .
481The argument must be
482.Dq yes ,
483.Dq without-password ,
484.Dq forced-commands-only
485or
486.Dq no .
487The default is
488.Dq no .
489Note that if
490.Cm ChallengeResponseAuthentication
491is
492.Dq yes ,
493the root user may be allowed in with its password even if
494.Cm PermitRootLogin is set to
495.Dq without-password .
496.Pp
497If this option is set to
498.Dq without-password
499password authentication is disabled for root.  Note that other authentication
500methods (e.g., keyboard-interactive/PAM) may still allow root to login using
501a password.
502.Pp
503If this option is set to
504.Dq forced-commands-only
505root login with public key authentication will be allowed,
506but only if the
507.Ar command
508option has been specified
509(which may be useful for taking remote backups even if root login is
510normally not allowed).
511All other authentication methods are disabled for root.
512.Pp
513If this option is set to
514.Dq no
515root is not allowed to login.
516.It Cm PermitUserEnvironment
517Specifies whether
518.Pa ~/.ssh/environment
519and
520.Cm environment=
521options in
522.Pa ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
523are processed by
524.Nm sshd .
525The default is
526.Dq no .
527Enabling environment processing may enable users to bypass access
528restrictions in some configurations using mechanisms such as
529.Ev LD_PRELOAD .
530.It Cm PidFile
531Specifies the file that contains the process ID of the
532.Nm sshd
533daemon.
534The default is
535.Pa /var/run/sshd.pid .
536.It Cm Port
537Specifies the port number that
538.Nm sshd
539listens on.
540The default is 22.
541Multiple options of this type are permitted.
542See also
543.Cm ListenAddress .
544.It Cm PrintLastLog
545Specifies whether
546.Nm sshd
547should print the date and time when the user last logged in.
548The default is
549.Dq yes .
550.It Cm PrintMotd
551Specifies whether
552.Nm sshd
553should print
554.Pa /etc/motd
555when a user logs in interactively.
556(On some systems it is also printed by the shell,
557.Pa /etc/profile ,
558or equivalent.)
559The default is
560.Dq yes .
561.It Cm Protocol
562Specifies the protocol versions
563.Nm sshd
564supports.
565The possible values are
566.Dq 1
567and
568.Dq 2 .
569Multiple versions must be comma-separated.
570The default is
571.Dq 2 .
572Note that the order of the protocol list does not indicate preference,
573because the client selects among multiple protocol versions offered
574by the server.
575Specifying
576.Dq 2,1
577is identical to
578.Dq 1,2 .
579.It Cm PubkeyAuthentication
580Specifies whether public key authentication is allowed.
581The default is
582.Dq yes .
583Note that this option applies to protocol version 2 only.
584.It Cm RhostsRSAAuthentication
585Specifies whether rhosts or
586.Pa /etc/hosts.equiv
587authentication together
588with successful RSA host authentication is allowed.
589The default is
590.Dq no .
591This option applies to protocol version 1 only.
592.It Cm RSAAuthentication
593Specifies whether pure RSA authentication is allowed.
594The default is
595.Dq yes .
596This option applies to protocol version 1 only.
597.It Cm ServerKeyBits
598Defines the number of bits in the ephemeral protocol version 1 server key.
599The minimum value is 512, and the default is 768.
600.It Cm StrictModes
601Specifies whether
602.Nm sshd
603should check file modes and ownership of the
604user's files and home directory before accepting login.
605This is normally desirable because novices sometimes accidentally leave their
606directory or files world-writable.
607The default is
608.Dq yes .
609.It Cm Subsystem
610Configures an external subsystem (e.g., file transfer daemon).
611Arguments should be a subsystem name and a command to execute upon subsystem
612request.
613The command
614.Xr sftp-server 8
615implements the
616.Dq sftp
617file transfer subsystem.
618By default no subsystems are defined.
619Note that this option applies to protocol version 2 only.
620.It Cm SyslogFacility
621Gives the facility code that is used when logging messages from
622.Nm sshd .
623The possible values are: DAEMON, USER, AUTH, LOCAL0, LOCAL1, LOCAL2,
624LOCAL3, LOCAL4, LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7.
625The default is AUTH.
626.It Cm TCPKeepAlive
627Specifies whether the system should send TCP keepalive messages to the
628other side.
629If they are sent, death of the connection or crash of one
630of the machines will be properly noticed.
631However, this means that
632connections will die if the route is down temporarily, and some people
633find it annoying.
634On the other hand, if TCP keepalives are not sent,
635sessions may hang indefinitely on the server, leaving
636.Dq ghost
637users and consuming server resources.
638.Pp
639The default is
640.Dq yes
641(to send TCP keepalive messages), and the server will notice
642if the network goes down or the client host crashes.
643This avoids infinitely hanging sessions.
644.Pp
645To disable TCP keepalive messages, the value should be set to
646.Dq no .
647.It Cm UseDNS
648Specifies whether
649.Nm sshd
650should lookup the remote host name and check that
651the resolved host name for the remote IP address maps back to the
652very same IP address.
653The default is
654.Dq yes .
655.It Cm UseLogin
656Specifies whether
657.Xr login 1
658is used for interactive login sessions.
659The default is
660.Dq no .
661Note that
662.Xr login 1
663is never used for remote command execution.
664Note also, that if this is enabled,
665.Cm X11Forwarding
666will be disabled because
667.Xr login 1
668does not know how to handle
669.Xr xauth 1
670cookies.
671If
672.Cm UsePrivilegeSeparation
673is specified, it will be disabled after authentication.
674.It Cm UsePAM
675Enables the Pluggable Authentication Module interface.
676If set to
677.Dq yes
678this will enable PAM authentication using
679.Cm ChallengeResponseAuthentication
680and PAM account and session module processing for all authentication types.
681.Pp
682Because PAM challenge-response authentication usually serves an equivalent
683role to password authentication, you should disable either
684.Cm PasswordAuthentication
685or
686.Cm ChallengeResponseAuthentication.
687.Pp
688If
689.Cm UsePAM
690is enabled, you will not be able to run
691.Xr sshd 8
692as a non-root user.
693The default is
694.Dq yes .
695.It Cm UsePrivilegeSeparation
696Specifies whether
697.Nm sshd
698separates privileges by creating an unprivileged child process
699to deal with incoming network traffic.
700After successful authentication, another process will be created that has
701the privilege of the authenticated user.
702The goal of privilege separation is to prevent privilege
703escalation by containing any corruption within the unprivileged processes.
704The default is
705.Dq yes .
706.It Cm VersionAddendum
707Specifies a string to append to the regular version string to identify
708OS- or site-specific modifications.
709The default is
710.Dq FreeBSD-20041028 .
711.It Cm X11DisplayOffset
712Specifies the first display number available for
713.Nm sshd Ns 's
714X11 forwarding.
715This prevents
716.Nm sshd
717from interfering with real X11 servers.
718The default is 10.
719.It Cm X11Forwarding
720Specifies whether X11 forwarding is permitted.
721The argument must be
722.Dq yes
723or
724.Dq no .
725The default is
726.Dq yes .
727.Pp
728When X11 forwarding is enabled, there may be additional exposure to
729the server and to client displays if the
730.Nm sshd
731proxy display is configured to listen on the wildcard address (see
732.Cm X11UseLocalhost
733below), however this is not the default.
734Additionally, the authentication spoofing and authentication data
735verification and substitution occur on the client side.
736The security risk of using X11 forwarding is that the client's X11
737display server may be exposed to attack when the ssh client requests
738forwarding (see the warnings for
739.Cm ForwardX11
740in
741.Xr ssh_config 5 ) .
742A system administrator may have a stance in which they want to
743protect clients that may expose themselves to attack by unwittingly
744requesting X11 forwarding, which can warrant a
745.Dq no
746setting.
747.Pp
748Note that disabling X11 forwarding does not prevent users from
749forwarding X11 traffic, as users can always install their own forwarders.
750X11 forwarding is automatically disabled if
751.Cm UseLogin
752is enabled.
753.It Cm X11UseLocalhost
754Specifies whether
755.Nm sshd
756should bind the X11 forwarding server to the loopback address or to
757the wildcard address.
758By default,
759.Nm sshd
760binds the forwarding server to the loopback address and sets the
761hostname part of the
762.Ev DISPLAY
763environment variable to
764.Dq localhost .
765This prevents remote hosts from connecting to the proxy display.
766However, some older X11 clients may not function with this
767configuration.
768.Cm X11UseLocalhost
769may be set to
770.Dq no
771to specify that the forwarding server should be bound to the wildcard
772address.
773The argument must be
774.Dq yes
775or
776.Dq no .
777The default is
778.Dq yes .
779.It Cm XAuthLocation
780Specifies the full pathname of the
781.Xr xauth 1
782program.
783The default is
784.Pa /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth .
785.El
786.Ss Time Formats
787.Nm sshd
788command-line arguments and configuration file options that specify time
789may be expressed using a sequence of the form:
790.Sm off
791.Ar time Op Ar qualifier ,
792.Sm on
793where
794.Ar time
795is a positive integer value and
796.Ar qualifier
797is one of the following:
