The + configuration files contain sections separated by ``Host'' + specifications, 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- + specific 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''. Configuration options may be + separated by whitespace or optional whitespace and exactly one `='; the + latter format is useful to avoid the need to quote whitespace when + specifying configuration options using the ssh, scp, and sftp -o option. + Arguments may optionally be enclosed in double quotes (") in order to + represent arguments containing spaces. + + The possible keywords and their meanings are as follows (note that + keywords are case-insensitive and arguments are case-sensitive): + + Host Restricts the following declarations (up to the next Host + keyword) to be only for those hosts that match one of the + patterns given after the keyword. If more than one pattern is + provided, they should be separated by whitespace. 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). + + See PATTERNS for more information on patterns. + + AddressFamily + Specifies which address family to use when connecting. Valid + arguments are ``any'', ``inet'' (use IPv4 only), or ``inet6'' + (use IPv6 only). + + BatchMode + If set to ``yes'', passphrase/password querying will be disabled. + This option is useful in scripts and other batch jobs where no + user is present to supply the password. The argument must be + ``yes'' or ``no''. The default is ``no''. + + BindAddress + Use the specified address on the local machine as the source + address of the connection. Only useful on systems with more than + one address. Note that this option does not work if + UsePrivilegedPort is set to ``yes''. + + ChallengeResponseAuthentication + Specifies whether to use challenge-response authentication. The + argument to this keyword must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The default + is ``yes''. + + CheckHostIP + If this flag is set to ``yes'', ssh(1) will additionally check + the host IP address in the known_hosts file. This allows ssh to + detect if a host key changed due to DNS spoofing. If the option + is set to ``no'', the check will not be executed. The default is + ``yes''. + + Cipher Specifies the cipher to use for encrypting the session in + protocol version 1. Currently, ``blowfish'', ``3des'', and + ``des'' are supported. des is only supported in the ssh(1) + client for interoperability with legacy protocol 1 + implementations that do not support the 3des cipher. Its use is + strongly discouraged due to cryptographic weaknesses. The + default is ``3des''. + + Ciphers + Specifies the ciphers allowed for protocol version 2 in order of + preference. Multiple ciphers must be comma-separated. The + supported ciphers are ``3des-cbc'', ``aes128-cbc'', + ``aes192-cbc'', ``aes256-cbc'', ``aes128-ctr'', ``aes192-ctr'', + ``aes256-ctr'', ``arcfour128'', ``arcfour256'', ``arcfour'', + ``blowfish-cbc'', and ``cast128-cbc''. The default is: + + aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,arcfour256,arcfour128, + aes128-cbc,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,cast128-cbc,aes192-cbc, + aes256-cbc,arcfour + + ClearAllForwardings + Specifies that all local, remote, and dynamic port forwardings + specified in the configuration files or on the command line be + cleared. This option is primarily useful when used from the + ssh(1) command line to clear port forwardings set in + configuration files, and is automatically set by scp(1) and + sftp(1). The argument must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The default is + ``no''. + + Compression + Specifies whether to use compression. The argument must be + ``yes'' or ``no''. The default is ``no''. + + CompressionLevel + Specifies the compression level to use if compression is enabled. + 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 gzip(1). Note that this + option applies to protocol version 1 only. + + ConnectionAttempts + Specifies the number of tries (one per second) to make before + exiting. The argument must be an integer. This may be useful in + scripts if the connection sometimes fails. The default is 1. + + ConnectTimeout + Specifies the timeout (in seconds) used when connecting to the + SSH server, instead of using the default system TCP timeout. + This value is used only when the target is down or really + unreachable, not when it refuses the connection. + + ControlMaster + Enables the sharing of multiple sessions over a single network + connection. When set to ``yes'', ssh(1) will listen for + connections on a control socket specified using the ControlPath + argument. Additional sessions can connect to this socket using + the same ControlPath with ControlMaster set to ``no'' (the + default). These sessions will try to reuse the master instance's + network connection rather than initiating new ones, but will fall + back to connecting normally if the control socket does not exist, + or is not listening. + + Setting this to ``ask'' will cause ssh to listen for control + connections, but require confirmation using the SSH_ASKPASS + program before they are accepted (see ssh-add(1) for details). + If the ControlPath cannot be opened, ssh will continue without + connecting to a master instance. + + X11 and ssh-agent(1) forwarding is supported over these + multiplexed connections, however the display and agent forwarded + will be the one belonging to the master connection i.e. it is not + possible to forward multiple displays or agents. + + Two additional options allow for opportunistic multiplexing: try + to use a master connection but fall back to creating a new one if + one does not already exist. These options are: ``auto'' and + ``autoask''. The latter requires confirmation like the ``ask'' + option. + + ControlPath + Specify the path to the control socket used for connection + sharing as described in the ControlMaster section above or the + string ``none'' to disable connection sharing. In the path, `%l' + will be substituted by the local host name, `%h' will be + substituted by the target host name, `%p' the port, and `%r' by + the remote login username. It is recommended that any + ControlPath used for opportunistic connection sharing include at + least %h, %p, and %r. This ensures that shared connections are + uniquely identified. + + ControlPersist + When used in conjunction with ControlMaster, specifies that the + master connection should remain open in the background (waiting + for future client connections) after the initial client + connection has been closed. If set to ``no'', then the master + connection will not be placed into the background, and will close + as soon as the initial client connection is closed. If set to + ``yes'', then the master connection will remain in the background + indefinitely (until killed or closed via a mechanism such as the + ssh(1) ``-O exit'' option). If set to a time in seconds, or a + time in any of the formats documented in sshd_config(5), then the + backgrounded master connection will automatically terminate after + it has remained idle (with no client connections) for the + specified time. + + DynamicForward + Specifies that a TCP port on the local machine be forwarded over + the secure channel, and the application protocol is then used to + determine where to connect to from the remote machine. + + The argument must be [bind_address:]port. IPv6 addresses can be + specified by enclosing addresses in square brackets. By default, + the local port is bound in accordance with the GatewayPorts + setting. However, an explicit bind_address may be used to bind + the connection to a specific address. The bind_address of + ``localhost'' indicates that the listening port be bound for + local use only, while an empty address or `*' indicates that the + port should be available from all interfaces. + + Currently the SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 protocols are supported, and + ssh(1) will act as a SOCKS server. Multiple forwardings may be + specified, and additional forwardings can be given on the command + line. Only the superuser can forward privileged ports. + + EnableSSHKeysign + Setting this option to ``yes'' in the global client configuration + file /etc/ssh/ssh_config enables the use of the helper program + ssh-keysign(8) during HostbasedAuthentication. The argument must + be ``yes'' or ``no''. The default is ``no''. This option should + be placed in the non-hostspecific section. See ssh-keysign(8) + for more information. + + 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 + disable the escape character entirely (making the connection + transparent for binary data). + + ExitOnForwardFailure + Specifies whether ssh(1) should terminate the connection if it + cannot set up all requested dynamic, tunnel, local, and remote + port forwardings. The argument must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The + default is ``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''. The default is ``no''. + + Agent forwarding should be enabled with caution. Users with the + ability to bypass file permissions on the remote host (for the + agent's Unix-domain socket) can access the local agent through + the forwarded connection. An attacker cannot obtain key material + from the agent, however they can perform operations on the keys + that enable them to authenticate using the identities loaded into + the agent. + + ForwardX11 + Specifies whether X11 connections will be automatically + redirected over the secure channel and DISPLAY set. The argument + must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The default is ``no''. + + X11 forwarding should be enabled with caution. Users with the + ability to bypass file permissions on the remote host (for the + user's X11 authorization database) can access the local X11 + display through the forwarded connection. An attacker may then + be able to perform activities such as keystroke monitoring if the + ForwardX11Trusted option is also enabled. + + ForwardX11Timeout + Specify a timeout for untrusted X11 forwarding using the format + described in the TIME FORMATS section of sshd_config(5). X11 + connections received by ssh(1) after this time will be refused. + The default is to disable untrusted X11 forwarding after twenty + minutes has elapsed. + + ForwardX11Trusted + If this option is set to ``yes'', remote X11 clients will have + full access to the original X11 display. + + If this option is set to ``no'', remote X11 clients will be + considered untrusted and prevented from stealing or tampering + with data belonging to trusted X11 clients. Furthermore, the + xauth(1) token used for the session will be set to expire after + 20 minutes. Remote clients will be refused access after this + time. + + The default is ``no''. + + See the X11 SECURITY extension specification for full details on + the restrictions imposed on untrusted clients. + + GatewayPorts + Specifies whether remote hosts are allowed to connect to local + forwarded ports. By default, ssh(1) binds local port forwardings + to the loopback address. This prevents other remote hosts from + connecting to forwarded ports. GatewayPorts can be used to + specify that ssh should bind local port forwardings to the + wildcard address, thus allowing remote hosts to connect to + forwarded ports. The argument must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The + default is ``no''. + + GlobalKnownHostsFile + Specifies a file to use for the global host key database instead + of /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts. + + GSSAPIAuthentication + Specifies whether user authentication based on GSSAPI is allowed. + The default is ``no''. Note that this option applies to protocol + version 2 only. + + GSSAPIDelegateCredentials + Forward (delegate) credentials to the server. The default is + ``no''. Note that this option applies to protocol version 2 + only. + + HashKnownHosts + Indicates that ssh(1) should hash host names and addresses when + they are added to ~/.ssh/known_hosts. These hashed names may be + used normally by ssh(1) and sshd(8), but they do not reveal + identifying information should the file's contents be disclosed. + The default is ``no''. Note that existing names and addresses in + known hosts files will not be converted automatically, but may be + manually hashed using ssh-keygen(1). + + HostbasedAuthentication + Specifies whether to try rhosts based authentication with public + key authentication. The argument must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The + default is ``no''. This option applies to protocol version 2 + only and is similar to RhostsRSAAuthentication. + + HostKeyAlgorithms + Specifies the protocol version 2 host key algorithms that the + client wants to use in order of preference. The default for this + option is: ``ssh-rsa,ssh-dss''. + + HostKeyAlias + Specifies an alias that should be used instead of the real host + name when looking up or saving the host key in the host key + database files. This option is useful for tunneling SSH + connections or for multiple servers running on a single host. + + HostName + Specifies the real host name to log into. This can be used to + specify nicknames or abbreviations for hosts. If the hostname + contains the character sequence `%h', then this will be replaced + with the host name specified on the commandline (this is useful + for manipulating unqualified names). The default is the name + given on the command line. Numeric IP addresses are also + permitted (both on the command line and in HostName + specifications). + + IdentitiesOnly + Specifies that ssh(1) should only use the authentication identity + files configured in the ssh_config files, even if ssh-agent(1) + offers more identities. The argument to this keyword must be + ``yes'' or ``no''. This option is intended for situations where + ssh-agent offers many different identities. The default is + ``no''. + + IdentityFile + Specifies a file from which the user's RSA or DSA authentication + identity is read. The default is ~/.ssh/identity for protocol + version 1, and ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_dsa for protocol + version 2. Additionally, any identities represented by the + authentication agent will be used for authentication. ssh(1) + will try to load certificate information from the filename + obtained by appending -cert.pub to the path of a specified + IdentityFile. + + The file name may use the tilde syntax to refer to a user's home + directory or one of the following escape characters: `%d' (local + user's home directory), `%u' (local user name), `%l' (local host + name), `%h' (remote host name) or `%r' (remote user name). + + It is possible to have multiple identity files specified in + configuration files; all these identities will be tried in + sequence. + + KbdInteractiveAuthentication + Specifies whether to use keyboard-interactive authentication. + The argument to this keyword must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The + default is ``yes''. + + KbdInteractiveDevices + Specifies the list of methods to use in keyboard-interactive + authentication. Multiple method names must be comma-separated. + The default is to use the server specified list. The methods + available vary depending on what the server supports. For an + OpenSSH server, it may be zero or more of: ``bsdauth'', ``pam'', + and ``skey''. + + LocalCommand + Specifies a command to execute on the local machine after + successfully connecting to the server. The command string + extends to the end of the line, and is executed with the user's + shell. The following escape character substitutions will be + performed: `%d' (local user's home directory), `%h' (remote host + name), `%l' (local host name), `%n' (host name as provided on the + command line), `%p' (remote port), `%r' (remote user name) or + `%u' (local user name). + + The command is run synchronously and does not have access to the + session of the ssh(1) that spawned it. It should not be used for + interactive commands. + + This directive is ignored unless PermitLocalCommand has been + enabled. + + LocalForward + Specifies that a TCP port on the local machine be forwarded over + the secure channel to the specified host and port from the remote + machine. The first argument must be [bind_address:]port and the + second argument must be host:hostport. IPv6 addresses can be + specified by enclosing addresses in square brackets. Multiple + forwardings may be specified, and additional forwardings can be + given on the command line. Only the superuser can forward + privileged ports. By default, the local port is bound in + accordance with the GatewayPorts setting. However, an explicit + bind_address may be used to bind the connection to a specific + address. The bind_address of ``localhost'' indicates that the + listening port be bound for local use only, while an empty + address or `*' indicates that the port should be available from + all interfaces. + + LogLevel + Gives the verbosity level that is used when logging messages from + ssh(1). 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 verbose output. + + MACs Specifies the MAC (message authentication code) algorithms in + order of preference. The MAC algorithm is used in protocol + version 2 for data integrity protection. Multiple algorithms + must be comma-separated. The default is: + + hmac-md5,hmac-sha1,umac-64@openssh.com, + hmac-ripemd160,hmac-sha1-96,hmac-md5-96 + + NoHostAuthenticationForLocalhost + This option can be used if the home directory is shared across + machines. In this case localhost will refer to a different + machine on each of the machines and the user will get many + warnings about changed host keys. However, this option disables + host authentication for localhost. The argument to this keyword + must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The default is to check the host key + for localhost. + + NumberOfPasswordPrompts + Specifies the number of password prompts before giving up. The + argument to this keyword must be an integer. The default is 3. + + PasswordAuthentication + Specifies whether to use password authentication. The argument + to this keyword must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The default is + ``yes''. + + PermitLocalCommand + Allow local command execution via the LocalCommand option or + using the !command escape sequence in ssh(1). The argument must + be ``yes'' or ``no''. The default is ``no''. + + PKCS11Provider + Specifies which PKCS#11 provider to use. The argument to this + keyword is the PKCS#11 shared libary ssh(1) should use to + communicate with a PKCS#11 token providing the user's private RSA + key. + + Port Specifies the port number to connect on the remote host. The + default is 22. + + PreferredAuthentications + Specifies the order in which the client should try protocol 2 + authentication methods. This allows a client to prefer one + method (e.g. keyboard-interactive) over another method (e.g. + password). The default is: + + gssapi-with-mic,hostbased,publickey, + keyboard-interactive,password + + Protocol + Specifies the protocol versions ssh(1) should support in order of + preference. The possible values are `1' and `2'. Multiple + versions must be comma-separated. When this option is set to + ``2,1'' ssh will try version 2 and fall back to version 1 if + version 2 is not available. The default is `2'. + + ProxyCommand + Specifies the command to use to connect to the server. The + command string extends to the end of the line, and is executed + with the user's shell. In the command string, any occurrence of + `%h' will be substituted by the host name to connect, `%p' by the + port, and `%r' by the remote user name. The command can be + basically anything, and should read from its standard input and + write to its standard output. It should eventually connect an + sshd(8) server running on some machine, or execute sshd -i + somewhere. Host key management will be done using the HostName + of the host being connected (defaulting to the name typed by the + user). Setting the command to ``none'' disables this option + entirely. Note that CheckHostIP is not available for connects + with a proxy command. + + This directive is useful in conjunction with nc(1) and its proxy + support. For example, the following directive would connect via + an HTTP proxy at 192.0.2.0: + + ProxyCommand /usr/bin/nc -X connect -x 192.0.2.0:8080 %h %p + + PubkeyAuthentication + Specifies whether to try public key authentication. The argument + to this keyword must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The default is + ``yes''. This option applies to protocol version 2 only. + + RekeyLimit + Specifies the maximum amount of data that may be transmitted + before the session key is renegotiated. The argument is the + number of bytes, with an optional suffix of `K', `M', or `G' to + indicate Kilobytes, Megabytes, or Gigabytes, respectively. The + default is between `1G' and `4G', depending on the cipher. This + option applies to protocol version 2 only. + + RemoteForward + Specifies that a TCP port on the remote machine be forwarded over + the secure channel to the specified host and port from the local + machine. The first argument must be [bind_address:]port and the + second argument must be host:hostport. IPv6 addresses can be + specified by enclosing addresses in square brackets. Multiple + forwardings may be specified, and additional forwardings can be + given on the command line. Privileged ports can be forwarded + only when logging in as root on the remote machine. + + If the port argument is `0', the listen port will be dynamically + allocated on the server and reported to the client at run time. + + If the bind_address is not specified, the default is to only bind + to loopback addresses. If the bind_address is `*' or an empty + string, then the forwarding is requested to listen on all + interfaces. Specifying a remote bind_address will only succeed + if the server's GatewayPorts option is enabled (see + sshd_config(5)). + + RhostsRSAAuthentication + Specifies whether to try rhosts based authentication with RSA + host authentication. The argument must be ``yes'' or ``no''. + The default is ``no''. This option applies to protocol version 1 + only and requires ssh(1) to be setuid root. + + 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 + authentication agent is running. The default is ``yes''. Note + that this option applies to protocol version 1 only. + + SendEnv + Specifies what variables from the local environ(7) should be sent + to the server. Note that environment passing is only supported + for protocol 2. The server must also support it, and the server + must be configured to accept these environment variables. Refer + to AcceptEnv in sshd_config(5) for how to configure the server. + Variables are specified by name, which may contain wildcard + characters. Multiple environment variables may be separated by + whitespace or spread across multiple SendEnv directives. The + default is not to send any environment variables. + + See PATTERNS for more information on patterns. + + ServerAliveCountMax + Sets the number of server alive messages (see below) which may be + sent without ssh(1) receiving any messages back from the server. + If this threshold is reached while server alive messages are + being sent, ssh will disconnect from the server, terminating the + session. It is important to note that the use of server alive + messages is very different from TCPKeepAlive (below). The server + alive messages are sent through the encrypted channel and + therefore will not be spoofable. The TCP keepalive option + enabled by TCPKeepAlive is spoofable. The server alive mechanism + is valuable when the client or server depend on knowing when a + connection has become inactive. + + The default value is 3. If, for example, ServerAliveInterval + (see below) is set to 15 and ServerAliveCountMax is left at the + default, if the server becomes unresponsive, ssh will disconnect + after approximately 45 seconds. This option applies to protocol + version 2 only. + + ServerAliveInterval + Sets a timeout interval in seconds after which if no data has + been received from the server, ssh(1) will send a message through + the encrypted channel to request a response from the server. The + default is 0, indicating that these messages will not be sent to + the server. This option applies to protocol version 2 only. + + StrictHostKeyChecking + If this flag is set to ``yes'', ssh(1) will never automatically + add host keys to the ~/.ssh/known_hosts file, and refuses to + connect to hosts whose host key has changed. This provides + maximum protection against trojan horse attacks, though it can be + annoying when the /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts file is poorly + maintained or when connections to new hosts are frequently made. + This option forces the user to manually add all new hosts. If + this flag is set to ``no'', ssh will automatically add new host + keys to the user known hosts files. If this flag is set to + ``ask'', new host keys will be added to the user known host files + only after the user has confirmed that is what they really want + to do, and ssh will refuse to connect to hosts whose host key has + changed. The host keys of known hosts will be verified + automatically in all cases. The argument must be ``yes'', + ``no'', or ``ask''. The default is ``ask''. + + 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. + + The default is ``yes'' (to send TCP keepalive messages), 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 TCP keepalive messages, the value should be set to + ``no''. + + Tunnel Request tun(4) device forwarding between the client and the + server. The argument must be ``yes'', ``point-to-point'' (layer + 3), ``ethernet'' (layer 2), or ``no''. Specifying ``yes'' + requests the default tunnel mode, which is ``point-to-point''. + The default is ``no''. + + TunnelDevice + Specifies the tun(4) devices to open on the client (local_tun) + and the server (remote_tun). + + The argument must be local_tun [:remote_tun]. The devices may be + specified by numerical ID or the keyword ``any'', which uses the + next available tunnel device. If remote_tun is not specified, it + defaults to ``any''. The default is ``any:any''. + + UsePrivilegedPort + Specifies whether to use a privileged port for outgoing + connections. The argument must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The + default is ``no''. If set to ``yes'', ssh(1) must be setuid + root. Note that this option must be set to ``yes'' for + RhostsRSAAuthentication with older servers. + + User Specifies the user to log in as. This can be useful when a + different user name is used on different machines. This saves + the trouble of having to remember to give the user name on the + command line. + + UserKnownHostsFile + Specifies a file to use for the user host key database instead of + ~/.ssh/known_hosts. + + VerifyHostKeyDNS + Specifies whether to verify the remote key using DNS and SSHFP + resource records. If this option is set to ``yes'', the client + will implicitly trust keys that match a secure fingerprint from + DNS. Insecure fingerprints will be handled as if this option was + set to ``ask''. If this option is set to ``ask'', information on + fingerprint match will be displayed, but the user will still need + to confirm new host keys according to the StrictHostKeyChecking + option. The argument must be ``yes'', ``no'', or ``ask''. The + default is ``no''. Note that this option applies to protocol + version 2 only. + + See also VERIFYING HOST KEYS in ssh(1). + + VisualHostKey + If this flag is set to ``yes'', an ASCII art representation of + the remote host key fingerprint is printed in addition to the hex + fingerprint string at login and for unknown host keys. If this + flag is set to ``no'', no fingerprint strings are printed at + login and only the hex fingerprint string will be printed for + unknown host keys. The default is ``no''. + + XAuthLocation + Specifies the full pathname of the xauth(1) program. The default + is /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth. + +PATTERNS + A pattern consists of zero or more non-whitespace characters, `*' (a + wildcard that matches zero or more characters), or `?' (a wildcard that + matches exactly one character). For example, to specify a set of + declarations for any host in the ``.co.uk'' set of domains, the following + pattern could be used: + + Host *.co.uk + + The following pattern would match any host in the 192.168.0.[0-9] network + range: + + Host 192.168.0.? + + A pattern-list is a comma-separated list of patterns. Patterns within + pattern-lists may be negated by preceding them with an exclamation mark + (`!'). For example, to allow a key to be used from anywhere within an + organisation except from the ``dialup'' pool, the following entry (in + authorized_keys) could be used: + + from="!*.dialup.example.com,*.example.com" + +FILES + ~/.ssh/config + This is the per-user configuration file.
