0x00 OpenSSH 简介
OpenSSH是采用SSH协议实现的重要的远程连接工具,它对所有的数据进行加密以防止被中途窃听,OpenSSH提供了大量的安全通道的组件,比如:
- 远程操作用ssh、scp、sftp;
- 秘钥管理用ssh-add、ssh-keysign、ssh-keyscan、ssh-keygen;
- 服务端包含sshd、sftp-server、ssh-agent;
0x01 方案一
上面的所有信息可以自行去对应官网链接进行进一步的学习,在下面只讨论对于sshd的超时连接的问题。
- 修改server端的配置文件
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
# server每隔60秒给客户端发送一次保活信息包给客户端
ClientAliveInterval 60
# server端发出的请求客户端没有回应的次数达到86400次的时候就断开连接,正常情况下客户端都会相应
ClientAliveCountMax 86400
- 修改client端的配置文件
/etc/ssh/ssh_config
# client 每隔60秒给客户端发送一次保活信息包给客户端
ServerAliveInterval 60
# client 端发出的请求服务端没有回应的次数达到86400次的时候就断开连接,正常情况下服务端都会相应
ServerAliveCountMax 86400
0x02 方案二
在命令参数里
ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=60
这样子只会在需要的连接中保持持久连接,具体的参数请参考这里。

SSHD_CONFIG(5) | File Formats Manual | SSHD_CONFIG(5) |
NAME
sshd_config — OpenSSH SSH daemon configuration fileSYNOPSIS
/etc/ssh/sshd_config |
DESCRIPTION
sshd(8) reads configuration data from /etc/ssh/sshd_config (or the file specified with -f on the command line). The file contains keyword-argument pairs, one per line. Lines starting with ‘#
’ and empty lines are interpreted as comments. Arguments may optionally be enclosed in double quotes (") in order to represent arguments containing spaces.
- AcceptEnv
- Specifies what environment variables sent by the client will be copied into the session's environ(7). See SendEnv in ssh_config(5) for how to configure the client. The TERM environment variable is always sent whenever the client requests a pseudo-terminal as it is required by the protocol. Variables are specified by name, which may contain the wildcard characters ‘
*
’ and ‘?
’. Multiple environment variables may be separated by whitespace or spread across multiple AcceptEnv directives. Be warned that some environment variables could be used to bypass restricted user environments. For this reason, care should be taken in the use of this directive. The default is not to accept any environment variables. - AddressFamily
- Specifies which address family should be used by sshd(8). Valid arguments are any (the default), inet (use IPv4 only), or inet6 (use IPv6 only).
- AllowAgentForwarding
- Specifies whether ssh-agent(1) forwarding is permitted. The default is yes. Note that disabling agent forwarding does not improve security unless users are also denied shell access, as they can always install their own forwarders.
- AllowGroups
- This keyword can be followed by a list of group name patterns, separated by spaces. If specified, login is allowed only for users whose primary group or supplementary group list matches one of the patterns. Only group names are valid; a numerical group ID is not recognized. By default, login is allowed for all groups. The allow/deny directives are processed in the following order: DenyUsers,AllowUsers, DenyGroups, and finally AllowGroups.
- AllowStreamLocalForwarding
- Specifies whether StreamLocal (Unix-domain socket) forwarding is permitted. The available options are yes (the default) or all to allow StreamLocal forwarding, no to prevent all StreamLocal forwarding, local to allow local (from the perspective of ssh(1)) forwarding only orremote to allow remote forwarding only. Note that disabling StreamLocal forwarding does not improve security unless users are also denied shell access, as they can always install their own forwarders.
- AllowTcpForwarding
- Specifies whether TCP forwarding is permitted. The available options are yes (the default) or all to allow TCP forwarding, no to prevent all TCP forwarding, local to allow local (from the perspective of ssh(1)) forwarding only or remote to allow remote forwarding only. Note that disabling TCP forwarding does not improve security unless users are also denied shell access, as they can always install their own forwarders.
- AllowUsers
- This keyword can be followed by a list of user name patterns, separated by spaces. If specified, login is allowed only for user names that match one of the patterns. Only user names are valid; a numerical user ID is not recognized. By default, login is allowed for all users. If the pattern takes the form USER@HOST then USER and HOST are separately checked, restricting logins to particular users from particular hosts. HOST criteria may additionally contain addresses to match in CIDR address/masklen format. The allow/deny directives are processed in the following order: DenyUsers, AllowUsers, DenyGroups, and finally AllowGroups.
- AuthenticationMethods
- Specifies the authentication methods that must be successfully completed for a user to be granted access. This option must be followed by one or more comma-separated lists of authentication method names, or by the single string any to indicate the default behaviour of accepting any single authentication method. If the default is overridden, then successful authentication requires completion of every method in at least one of these lists.
- AuthorizedKeysCommand
- Specifies a program to be used to look up the user's public keys. The program must be owned by root, not writable by group or others and specified by an absolute path. Arguments to AuthorizedKeysCommand accept the tokens described in the TOKENS section. If no arguments are specified then the username of the target user is used.
- AuthorizedKeysCommandUser
- Specifies the user under whose account the AuthorizedKeysCommand is run. It is recommended to use a dedicated user that has no other role on the host than running authorized keys commands. If AuthorizedKeysCommand is specified butAuthorizedKeysCommandUser is not, then sshd(8) will refuse to start.
- AuthorizedKeysFile
- Specifies the file that contains the public keys used for user authentication. The format is described in the AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT section of sshd(8). Arguments to AuthorizedKeysFile accept the tokens described in the TOKENS section. After expansion,AuthorizedKeysFile is taken to be an absolute path or one relative to the user's home directory. Multiple files may be listed, separated by whitespace. Alternately this option may be set to none to skip checking for user keys in files. The default is “.ssh/authorized_keys .ssh/authorized_keys2”.
- AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand
- Specifies a program to be used to generate the list of allowed certificate principals as per AuthorizedPrincipalsFile. The program must be owned by root, not writable by group or others and specified by an absolute path. Arguments to AuthorizedPrincipalsCommandaccept the tokens described in the TOKENS section. If no arguments are specified then the username of the target user is used.
- AuthorizedPrincipalsCommandUser
- Specifies the user under whose account the AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand is run. It is recommended to use a dedicated user that has no other role on the host than running authorized principals commands. If AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand is specified butAuthorizedPrincipalsCommandUser is not, then sshd(8) will refuse to start.
- AuthorizedPrincipalsFile
- Specifies a file that lists principal names that are accepted for certificate authentication. When using certificates signed by a key listed in TrustedUserCAKeys, this file lists names, one of which must appear in the certificate for it to be accepted for authentication. Names are listed one per line preceded by key options (as described in AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT in sshd(8)). Empty lines and comments starting with ‘
#
’ are ignored. - Banner
- The contents of the specified file are sent to the remote user before authentication is allowed. If the argument is none then no banner is displayed. By default, no banner is displayed.
- ChallengeResponseAuthentication
- Specifies whether challenge-response authentication is allowed. All authentication styles from login.conf(5) are supported. The default isyes.
- ChrootDirectory
- Specifies the pathname of a directory to chroot(2) to after authentication. At session startup sshd(8) checks that all components of the pathname are root-owned directories which are not writable by any other user or group. After the chroot, sshd(8) changes the working directory to the user's home directory. Arguments to ChrootDirectory accept the tokens described in the TOKENS section.
- Ciphers
- Specifies the ciphers allowed. Multiple ciphers must be comma-separated. If the specified value begins with a ‘+’ character, then the specified ciphers will be appended to the default set instead of replacing them.
- 3des-cbc
- aes128-cbc
- aes192-cbc
- aes256-cbc
- aes128-ctr
- aes192-ctr
- aes256-ctr
- aes128-gcm@openssh.com
- aes256-gcm@openssh.com
- arcfour
- arcfour128
- arcfour256
- blowfish-cbc
- cast128-cbc
- chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com
chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com, aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr, aes128-gcm@openssh.com,aes256-gcm@openssh.com
- ClientAliveCountMax
- Sets the number of client alive messages which may be sent without sshd(8) receiving any messages back from the client. If this threshold is reached while client alive messages are being sent, sshd will disconnect the client, terminating the session. It is important to note that the use of client alive messages is very different from TCPKeepAlive. The client alive messages are sent through the encrypted channel and therefore will not be spoofable. The TCP keepalive option enabled by TCPKeepAlive is spoofable. The client alive mechanism is valuable when the client or server depend on knowing when a connection has become inactive.
- ClientAliveInterval
- Sets a timeout interval in seconds after which if no data has been received from the client, sshd(8) will send a message through the encrypted channel to request a response from the client. The default is 0, indicating that these messages will not be sent to the client.
- Compression
- Specifies whether compression is enabled after the user has authenticated successfully. The argument must be yes, delayed (a legacy synonym for yes) or no. The default is yes.
- DenyGroups
- This keyword can be followed by a list of group name patterns, separated by spaces. Login is disallowed for users whose primary group or supplementary group list matches one of the patterns. Only group names are valid; a numerical group ID is not recognized. By default, login is allowed for all groups. The allow/deny directives are processed in the following order: DenyUsers, AllowUsers,DenyGroups, and finally AllowGroups.
- DenyUsers
- This keyword can be followed by a list of user name patterns, separated by spaces. Login is disallowed for user names that match one of the patterns. Only user names are valid; a numerical user ID is not recognized. By default, login is allowed for all users. If the pattern takes the form USER@HOST then USER and HOST are separately checked, restricting logins to particular users from particular hosts. HOST criteria may additionally contain addresses to match in CIDR address/masklen format. The allow/deny directives are processed in the following order: DenyUsers, AllowUsers, DenyGroups, and finally AllowGroups.
- DisableForwarding
- Disables all forwarding features, including X11, ssh-agent(1), TCP and StreamLocal. This option overrides all other forwarding-related options and may simplify restricted configurations.
- FingerprintHash
- Specifies the hash algorithm used when logging key fingerprints. Valid options are: md5 and sha256. The default is sha256.
- ForceCommand
- Forces the execution of the command specified by ForceCommand, ignoring any command supplied by the client and ~/.ssh/rc if present. The command is invoked by using the user's login shell with the -c option. This applies to shell, command, or subsystem execution. It is most useful inside a Match block. The command originally supplied by the client is available in theSSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND environment variable. Specifying a command of internal-sftp will force the use of an in-process SFTP server that requires no support files when used with ChrootDirectory. The default is none.
- GatewayPorts
- Specifies whether remote hosts are allowed to connect to ports forwarded for the client. By default, sshd(8) binds remote port forwardings to the loopback address. This prevents other remote hosts from connecting to forwarded ports. GatewayPorts can be used to specify that sshd should allow remote port forwardings to bind to non-loopback addresses, thus allowing other hosts to connect. The argument may be no to force remote port forwardings to be available to the local host only, yes to force remote port forwardings to bind to the wildcard address, or clientspecified to allow the client to select the address to which the forwarding is bound. The default is no.
- GSSAPIAuthentication
- Specifies whether user authentication based on GSSAPI is allowed. The default is no.
- GSSAPICleanupCredentials
- Specifies whether to automatically destroy the user's credentials cache on logout. The default is yes.
- GSSAPIStrictAcceptorCheck
- Determines whether to be strict about the identity of the GSSAPI acceptor a client authenticates against. If set to yes then the client must authenticate against the host service on the current hostname. If set to no then the client may authenticate against any service key stored in the machine's default store. This facility is provided to assist with operation on multi homed machines. The default is yes.
- HostbasedAcceptedKeyTypes
- Specifies the key types that will be accepted for hostbased authentication as a comma-separated pattern list. Alternately if the specified value begins with a ‘+’ character, then the specified key types will be appended to the default set instead of replacing them. The default for this option is:
ecdsa-sha2-nistp256-cert-v01@openssh.com, ecdsa-sha2-nistp384-cert-v01@openssh.com, ecdsa-sha2-nistp521-cert-v01@openssh.com, ssh-ed25519-cert-v01@openssh.com, ssh-rsa-cert-v01@openssh.com, ecdsa-sha2-nistp256,ecdsa-sha2-nistp384,ecdsa-sha2-nistp521, ssh-ed25519,ssh-rsa
- HostbasedAuthentication
- Specifies whether rhosts or /etc/hosts.equiv authentication together with successful public key client host authentication is allowed (host-based authentication). The default is no.
- HostbasedUsesNameFromPacketOnly
- Specifies whether or not the server will attempt to perform a reverse name lookup when matching the name in the ~/.shosts, ~/.rhosts, and /etc/hosts.equiv files during HostbasedAuthentication. A setting of yes means that sshd(8) uses the name supplied by the client rather than attempting to resolve the name from the TCP connection itself. The default is no.
- HostCertificate
- Specifies a file containing a public host certificate. The certificate's public key must match a private host key already specified byHostKey. The default behaviour of sshd(8) is not to load any certificates.
- HostKey
- Specifies a file containing a private host key used by SSH. The defaults are /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key, /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key,/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key and /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.
- HostKeyAgent
- Identifies the UNIX-domain socket used to communicate with an agent that has access to the private host keys. If the string “SSH_AUTH_SOCK” is specified, the location of the socket will be read from the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable.
- HostKeyAlgorithms
- Specifies the host key algorithms that the server offers. The default for this option is:
ecdsa-sha2-nistp256-cert-v01@openssh.com, ecdsa-sha2-nistp384-cert-v01@openssh.com, ecdsa-sha2-nistp521-cert-v01@openssh.com, ssh-ed25519-cert-v01@openssh.com, ssh-rsa-cert-v01@openssh.com, ecdsa-sha2-nistp256,ecdsa-sha2-nistp384,ecdsa-sha2-nistp521, ssh-ed25519,ssh-rsa
- IgnoreRhosts
- Specifies that .rhosts and .shosts files will not be used in HostbasedAuthentication.
- IgnoreUserKnownHosts
- Specifies whether sshd(8) should ignore the user's ~/.ssh/known_hosts during HostbasedAuthentication. The default is no.
- IPQoS
- Specifies the IPv4 type-of-service or DSCP class for the connection. Accepted values are af11, af12, af13, af21, af22, af23, af31, af32,af33, af41, af42, af43, cs0, cs1, cs2, cs3, cs4, cs5, cs6, cs7, ef, lowdelay, throughput, reliability, or a numeric value. This option may take one or two arguments, separated by whitespace. If one argument is specified, it is used as the packet class unconditionally. If two values are specified, the first is automatically selected for interactive sessions and the second for non-interactive sessions. The default is lowdelay for interactive sessions and throughput for non-interactive sessions.
- KbdInteractiveAuthentication
- Specifies whether to allow keyboard-interactive authentication. The argument to this keyword must be yes or no. The default is to use whatever value ChallengeResponseAuthentication is set to (by default yes).
- KerberosAuthentication
- Specifies whether the password provided by the user for PasswordAuthentication will be validated through the Kerberos KDC. To use this option, the server needs a Kerberos servtab which allows the verification of the KDC's identity. The default is no.
- KerberosGetAFSToken
- If AFS is active and the user has a Kerberos 5 TGT, attempt to acquire an AFS token before accessing the user's home directory. The default is no.
- KerberosOrLocalPasswd
- If password authentication through Kerberos fails then the password will be validated via any additional local mechanism such as/etc/passwd. The default is yes.
- KerberosTicketCleanup
- Specifies whether to automatically destroy the user's ticket cache file on logout. The default is yes.
- KexAlgorithms
- Specifies the available KEX (Key Exchange) algorithms. Multiple algorithms must be comma-separated. Alternately if the specified value begins with a ‘+’ character, then the specified methods will be appended to the default set instead of replacing them. The supported algorithms are:
- curve25519-sha256
- curve25519-sha256@libssh.org
- diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
- diffie-hellman-group14-sha1
- diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1
- diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256
- ecdh-sha2-nistp256
- ecdh-sha2-nistp384
- ecdh-sha2-nistp521
curve25519-sha256,curve25519-sha256@libssh.org, ecdh-sha2-nistp256,ecdh-sha2-nistp384,ecdh-sha2-nistp521, diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256, diffie-hellman-group14-sha1
- ListenAddress
- Specifies the local addresses sshd(8) should listen on. The following forms may be used:
- ListenAddress host|IPv4_addr|IPv6_addr
- ListenAddress host|IPv4_addr:port
- ListenAddress [host|IPv6_addr]:port
- LoginGraceTime
- The server disconnects after this time if the user has not successfully logged in. If the value is 0, there is no time limit. The default is 120 seconds.
- LogLevel
- Gives the verbosity level that is used when logging messages from sshd(8). The possible values are: QUIET, FATAL, ERROR, INFO, VERBOSE, DEBUG, DEBUG1, DEBUG2, and DEBUG3. The default is INFO. DEBUG and DEBUG1 are equivalent. DEBUG2 and DEBUG3 each specify higher levels of debugging output. Logging with a DEBUG level violates the privacy of users and is not recommended.
- MACs
- Specifies the available MAC (message authentication code) algorithms. The MAC algorithm is used for data integrity protection. Multiple algorithms must be comma-separated. If the specified value begins with a ‘+’ character, then the specified algorithms will be appended to the default set instead of replacing them.
- hmac-md5
- hmac-md5-96
- hmac-ripemd160
- hmac-sha1
- hmac-sha1-96
- hmac-sha2-256
- hmac-sha2-512

- Match
- Introduces a conditional block. If all of the criteria on the Match line are satisfied, the keywords on the following lines override those set in the global section of the config file, until either another Match line or the end of the file. If a keyword appears in multiple Match blocks that are satisfied, only the first instance of the keyword is applied.
- MaxAuthTries
- Specifies the maximum number of authentication attempts permitted per connection. Once the number of failures reaches half this value, additional failures are logged. The default is 6.
- MaxSessions
- Specifies the maximum number of open shell, login or subsystem (e.g. sftp) sessions permitted per network connection. Multiple sessions may be established by clients that support connection multiplexing. Setting MaxSessions to 1 will effectively disable session multiplexing, whereas setting it to 0 will prevent all shell, login and subsystem sessions while still permitting forwarding. The default is 10.
- MaxStartups
- Specifies the maximum number of concurrent unauthenticated connections to the SSH daemon. Additional connections will be dropped until authentication succeeds or the LoginGraceTime expires for a connection. The default is 10:30:100.
- PasswordAuthentication
- Specifies whether password authentication is allowed. The default is yes.
- PermitEmptyPasswords
- When password authentication is allowed, it specifies whether the server allows login to accounts with empty password strings. The default is no.
- PermitOpen
- Specifies the destinations to which TCP port forwarding is permitted. The forwarding specification must be one of the following forms:
- PermitOpen host:port
- PermitOpen IPv4_addr:port
- PermitOpen [IPv6_addr]:port
- PermitRootLogin
- Specifies whether root can log in using ssh(1). The argument must be yes, prohibit-password, without-password, forced-commands-only, or no. The default is prohibit-password.
- PermitTTY
- Specifies whether pty(4) allocation is permitted. The default is yes.
- PermitTunnel
- Specifies whether tun(4) device forwarding is allowed. The argument must be yes, point-to-point (layer 3), ethernet (layer 2), or no. Specifying yes permits both point-to-point and ethernet. The default is no.
- PermitUserEnvironment
- Specifies whether ~/.ssh/environment and environment= options in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys are processed by sshd(8). The default isno. Enabling environment processing may enable users to bypass access restrictions in some configurations using mechanisms such as LD_PRELOAD.
- PermitUserRC
- Specifies whether any ~/.ssh/rc file is executed. The default is yes.
- PidFile
- Specifies the file that contains the process ID of the SSH daemon, or none to not write one. The default is /var/run/sshd.pid.
- Port
- Specifies the port number that sshd(8) listens on. The default is 22. Multiple options of this type are permitted. See also ListenAddress.
- PrintLastLog
- Specifies whether sshd(8) should print the date and time of the last user login when a user logs in interactively. The default is yes.
- PrintMotd
- Specifies whether sshd(8) should print /etc/motd when a user logs in interactively. (On some systems it is also printed by the shell,/etc/profile, or equivalent.) The default is yes.
- PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes
- Specifies the key types that will be accepted for public key authentication as a comma-separated pattern list. Alternately if the specified value begins with a ‘+’ character, then the specified key types will be appended to the default set instead of replacing them. The default for this option is:
ecdsa-sha2-nistp256-cert-v01@openssh.com, ecdsa-sha2-nistp384-cert-v01@openssh.com, ecdsa-sha2-nistp521-cert-v01@openssh.com, ssh-ed25519-cert-v01@openssh.com, ssh-rsa-cert-v01@openssh.com, ecdsa-sha2-nistp256,ecdsa-sha2-nistp384,ecdsa-sha2-nistp521, ssh-ed25519,ssh-rsa
- PubkeyAuthentication
- Specifies whether public key authentication is allowed. The default is yes.
- RekeyLimit
- Specifies the maximum amount of data that may be transmitted before the session key is renegotiated, optionally followed a maximum amount of time that may pass before the session key is renegotiated. The first argument is specified in bytes and may have a suffix of ‘K’, ‘M’, or ‘G’ to indicate Kilobytes, Megabytes, or Gigabytes, respectively. The default is between ‘1G’ and ‘4G’, depending on the cipher. The optional second value is specified in seconds and may use any of the units documented in the TIME FORMATS section. The default value for RekeyLimit is default none, which means that rekeying is performed after the cipher's default amount of data has been sent or received and no time based rekeying is done.
- RevokedKeys
- Specifies revoked public keys file, or none to not use one. Keys listed in this file will be refused for public key authentication. Note that if this file is not readable, then public key authentication will be refused for all users. Keys may be specified as a text file, listing one public key per line, or as an OpenSSH Key Revocation List (KRL) as generated by ssh-keygen(1). For more information on KRLs, see the KEY REVOCATION LISTS section in ssh-keygen(1).
- StreamLocalBindMask
- Sets the octal file creation mode mask (umask) used when creating a Unix-domain socket file for local or remote port forwarding. This option is only used for port forwarding to a Unix-domain socket file.
- StreamLocalBindUnlink
- Specifies whether to remove an existing Unix-domain socket file for local or remote port forwarding before creating a new one. If the socket file already exists and StreamLocalBindUnlink is not enabled, sshd will be unable to forward the port to the Unix-domain socket file. This option is only used for port forwarding to a Unix-domain socket file.
- StrictModes
- Specifies whether sshd(8) should check file modes and ownership of the user's files and home directory before accepting login. This is normally desirable because novices sometimes accidentally leave their directory or files world-writable. The default is yes. Note that this does not apply to ChrootDirectory, whose permissions and ownership are checked unconditionally.
- Subsystem
- Configures an external subsystem (e.g. file transfer daemon). Arguments should be a subsystem name and a command (with optional arguments) to execute upon subsystem request.
- SyslogFacility
- Gives the facility code that is used when logging messages from sshd(8). The possible values are: DAEMON, USER, AUTH, LOCAL0, LOCAL1, LOCAL2, LOCAL3, LOCAL4, LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7. The default is AUTH.
- TCPKeepAlive
- Specifies whether the system should send TCP 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 temporarily, and some people find it annoying. On the other hand, if TCP keepalives are not sent, sessions may hang indefinitely on the server, leaving “ghost” users and consuming server resources.
- TrustedUserCAKeys
- Specifies a file containing public keys of certificate authorities that are trusted to sign user certificates for authentication, or none to not use one. Keys are listed one per line; empty lines and comments starting with ‘
#
’ are allowed. If a certificate is presented for authentication and has its signing CA key listed in this file, then it may be used for authentication for any user listed in the certificate's principals list. Note that certificates that lack a list of principals will not be permitted for authentication using TrustedUserCAKeys. For more details on certificates, see the CERTIFICATES section in ssh-keygen(1). - UseDNS
- Specifies whether sshd(8) should look up the remote host name, and to check that the resolved host name for the remote IP address maps back to the very same IP address.
- UsePrivilegeSeparation
- Specifies whether sshd(8) separates privileges by creating an unprivileged child process to deal with incoming network traffic. After successful authentication, another process will be created that has the privilege of the authenticated user. The goal of privilege separation is to prevent privilege escalation by containing any corruption within the unprivileged processes. The argument must be yes,no, or sandbox. If UsePrivilegeSeparation is set to sandbox then the pre-authentication unprivileged process is subject to additional restrictions. The default is sandbox.
- VersionAddendum
- Optionally specifies additional text to append to the SSH protocol banner sent by the server upon connection. The default is none.
- X11DisplayOffset
- Specifies the first display number available for sshd(8)'s X11 forwarding. This prevents sshd from interfering with real X11 servers. The default is 10.
- X11Forwarding
- Specifies whether X11 forwarding is permitted. The argument must be yes or no. The default is no.
- X11UseLocalhost
- Specifies whether sshd(8) should bind the X11 forwarding server to the loopback address or to the wildcard address. By default, sshd binds the forwarding server to the loopback address and sets the hostname part of the DISPLAY environment variable to localhost. This prevents remote hosts from connecting to the proxy display. However, some older X11 clients may not function with this configuration.X11UseLocalhost may be set to no to specify that the forwarding server should be bound to the wildcard address. The argument must be yes or no. The default is yes.
- XAuthLocation
- Specifies the full pathname of the xauth(1) program, or none to not use one. The default is /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth.
TIME FORMATS
sshd(8) command-line arguments and configuration file options that specify time may be expressed using a sequence of the form:time[qualifier], where time is a positive integer value and qualifier is one of the following:- ⟨none⟩
- seconds
- s | S
- seconds
- m | M
- minutes
- h | H
- hours
- d | D
- days
- w | W
- weeks
- 600
- 600 seconds (10 minutes)
- 10m
- 10 minutes
- 1h30m
- 1 hour 30 minutes (90 minutes)
TOKENS
Arguments to some keywords can make use of tokens, which are expanded at runtime:- %%
- A literal ‘%’.
- %F
- The fingerprint of the CA key.
- %f
- The fingerprint of the key or certificate.
