+SSH_CONFIG(5) File Formats Manual SSH_CONFIG(5)
+
+NAME
+ ssh_config M-bM-^@M-^S OpenSSH SSH client configuration files
+
+DESCRIPTION
+ ssh(1) obtains configuration data from the following sources in the
+ following order:
+
+ 1. command-line options
+ 2. user's configuration file (~/.ssh/config)
+ 3. system-wide configuration file (/etc/ssh/ssh_config)
+
+ For each parameter, the first obtained value will be used. 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 usually the one
+ given on the command line (see the CanonicalizeHostname option for
+ exceptions).
+
+ 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 file contains keyword-argument pairs, one per line. Lines starting
+ with M-bM-^@M-^X#M-bM-^@M-^Y and empty lines are interpreted as comments. Arguments may
+ optionally be enclosed in double quotes (") in order to represent
+ arguments containing spaces. Configuration options may be separated by
+ whitespace or optional whitespace and exactly one M-bM-^@M-^X=M-bM-^@M-^Y; the latter format
+ is useful to avoid the need to quote whitespace when specifying
+ configuration options using the ssh, scp, and sftp -o option.
+
+ 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 or
+ Match 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 M-bM-^@M-^X*M-bM-^@M-^Y
+ as a pattern can be used to provide global defaults for all
+ hosts. The host is usually the hostname argument given on the
+ command line (see the CanonicalizeHostname keyword for
+ exceptions).
+
+ A pattern entry may be negated by prefixing it with an
+ exclamation mark (M-bM-^@M-^X!M-bM-^@M-^Y). If a negated entry is matched, then the
+ Host entry is ignored, regardless of whether any other patterns
+ on the line match. Negated matches are therefore useful to
+ provide exceptions for wildcard matches.
+
+ See PATTERNS for more information on patterns.
+
+ Match Restricts the following declarations (up to the next Host or
+ Match keyword) to be used only when the conditions following the
+ Match keyword are satisfied. Match conditions are specified
+ using one or more criteria or the single token all which always
+ matches. The available criteria keywords are: canonical, exec,
+ host, originalhost, user, and localuser. The all criteria must
+ appear alone or immediately after canonical. Other criteria may
+ be combined arbitrarily. All criteria but all and canonical
+ require an argument. Criteria may be negated by prepending an
+ exclamation mark (M-bM-^@M-^X!M-bM-^@M-^Y).
+
+ The canonical keyword matches only when the configuration file is
+ being re-parsed after hostname canonicalization (see the
+ CanonicalizeHostname option.) This may be useful to specify
+ conditions that work with canonical host names only. The exec
+ keyword executes the specified command under the user's shell.
+ If the command returns a zero exit status then the condition is
+ considered true. Commands containing whitespace characters must
+ be quoted. Arguments to exec accept the tokens described in the
+ TOKENS section.
+
+ The other keywords' criteria must be single entries or comma-
+ separated lists and may use the wildcard and negation operators
+ described in the PATTERNS section. The criteria for the host
+ keyword are matched against the target hostname, after any
+ substitution by the Hostname or CanonicalizeHostname options.
+ The originalhost keyword matches against the hostname as it was
+ specified on the command-line. The user keyword matches against
+ the target username on the remote host. The localuser keyword
+ matches against the name of the local user running ssh(1) (this
+ keyword may be useful in system-wide ssh_config files).
+
+ AddKeysToAgent
+ Specifies whether keys should be automatically added to a running
+ ssh-agent(1). If this option is set to yes and a key is loaded
+ from a file, the key and its passphrase are added to the agent
+ with the default lifetime, as if by ssh-add(1). If this option
+ is set to ask, ssh(1) will require confirmation using the
+ SSH_ASKPASS program before adding a key (see ssh-add(1) for
+ details). If this option is set to confirm, each use of the key
+ must be confirmed, as if the -c option was specified to
+ ssh-add(1). If this option is set to no, no keys are added to
+ the agent. The argument must be yes, confirm, ask, or no (the
+ default).
+
+ AddressFamily
+ Specifies which address family to use when connecting. Valid
+ arguments are any (the default), 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).
+
+ 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.
+
+ BindInterface
+ Use the address of the specified interface on the local machine
+ as the source address of the connection.
+
+ CanonicalDomains
+ When CanonicalizeHostname is enabled, this option specifies the
+ list of domain suffixes in which to search for the specified
+ destination host.
+
+ CanonicalizeFallbackLocal
+ Specifies whether to fail with an error when hostname
+ canonicalization fails. The default, yes, will attempt to look
+ up the unqualified hostname using the system resolver's search
+ rules. A value of no will cause ssh(1) to fail instantly if
+ CanonicalizeHostname is enabled and the target hostname cannot be
+ found in any of the domains specified by CanonicalDomains.
+
+ CanonicalizeHostname
+ Controls whether explicit hostname canonicalization is performed.
+ The default, no, is not to perform any name rewriting and let the
+ system resolver handle all hostname lookups. If set to yes then,
+ for connections that do not use a ProxyCommand or ProxyJump,
+ ssh(1) will attempt to canonicalize the hostname specified on the
+ command line using the CanonicalDomains suffixes and
+ CanonicalizePermittedCNAMEs rules. If CanonicalizeHostname is
+ set to always, then canonicalization is applied to proxied
+ connections too.
+
+ If this option is enabled, then the configuration files are
+ processed again using the new target name to pick up any new
+ configuration in matching Host and Match stanzas.
+
+ CanonicalizeMaxDots
+ Specifies the maximum number of dot characters in a hostname
+ before canonicalization is disabled. The default, 1, allows a
+ single dot (i.e. hostname.subdomain).
+
+ CanonicalizePermittedCNAMEs
+ Specifies rules to determine whether CNAMEs should be followed
+ when canonicalizing hostnames. The rules consist of one or more
+ arguments of source_domain_list:target_domain_list, where
+ source_domain_list is a pattern-list of domains that may follow
+ CNAMEs in canonicalization, and target_domain_list is a pattern-
+ list of domains that they may resolve to.
+
+ For example, "*.a.example.com:*.b.example.com,*.c.example.com"
+ will allow hostnames matching "*.a.example.com" to be
+ canonicalized to names in the "*.b.example.com" or
+ "*.c.example.com" domains.
+
+ CASignatureAlgorithms
+ Specifies which algorithms are allowed for signing of
+ certificates by certificate authorities (CAs). The default is:
+
+ ecdsa-sha2-nistp256.ecdsa-sha2-nistp384,ecdsa-sha2-nistp521,
+ ssh-ed25519,rsa-sha2-512,rsa-sha2-256,ssh-rsa
+
+ ssh(1) will not accept host certificates signed using algorithms
+ other than those specified.
+
+ CertificateFile
+ Specifies a file from which the user's certificate is read. A
+ corresponding private key must be provided separately in order to
+ use this certificate either from an IdentityFile directive or -i
+ flag to ssh(1), via ssh-agent(1), or via a PKCS11Provider.
+
+ Arguments to CertificateFile may use the tilde syntax to refer to
+ a user's home directory or the tokens described in the TOKENS
+ section.
+
+ It is possible to have multiple certificate files specified in
+ configuration files; these certificates will be tried in
+ sequence. Multiple CertificateFile directives will add to the
+ list of certificates used for authentication.
+
+ ChallengeResponseAuthentication
+ Specifies whether to use challenge-response authentication. The
+ argument to this keyword must be yes (the default) or no.
+
+ CheckHostIP
+ If set to yes (the default), ssh(1) will additionally check the
+ host IP address in the known_hosts file. This allows it to
+ detect if a host key changed due to DNS spoofing and will add
+ addresses of destination hosts to ~/.ssh/known_hosts in the
+ process, regardless of the setting of StrictHostKeyChecking. If
+ the option is set to no, the check will not be executed.
+
+ Ciphers
+ Specifies the ciphers allowed and their order of preference.
+ Multiple ciphers must be comma-separated. If the specified value
+ begins with a M-bM-^@M-^X+M-bM-^@M-^Y character, then the specified ciphers will be
+ appended to the default set instead of replacing them. If the
+ specified value begins with a M-bM-^@M-^X-M-bM-^@M-^Y character, then the specified
+ ciphers (including wildcards) will be removed from the default
+ set instead of replacing them.
+
+ The supported ciphers are:
+
+ 3des-cbc
+ aes128-cbc
+ aes192-cbc
+ aes256-cbc
+ aes128-ctr
+ aes192-ctr
+ aes256-ctr
+ aes128-gcm@openssh.com
+ aes256-gcm@openssh.com
+ chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com
+
+ The default is:
+
+ chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com,
+ aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,
+ aes128-gcm@openssh.com,aes256-gcm@openssh.com
+
+ The list of available ciphers may also be obtained using "ssh -Q
+ cipher".
+
+ 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).
+
+ Compression
+ Specifies whether to use compression. The argument must be yes
+ or no (the default).
+
+ 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(1) to listen for control
+ connections, but require confirmation using ssh-askpass(1). If
+ the ControlPath cannot be opened, ssh(1) 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. Arguments to
+ ControlPath may use the tilde syntax to refer to a user's home
+ directory or the tokens described in the TOKENS section. It is
+ recommended that any ControlPath used for opportunistic
+ connection sharing include at least %h, %p, and %r (or
+ alternatively %C) and be placed in a directory that is not
+ writable by other users. 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 or 0, then the master connection will remain in the
+ background indefinitely (until killed or closed via a mechanism
+ such as the "ssh -O exit"). 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 M-bM-^@M-^X*M-bM-^@M-^Y 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). This option should be placed in the
+ non-hostspecific section. See ssh-keysign(8) for more
+ information.
+
+ EscapeChar
+ Sets the escape character (default: M-bM-^@M-^X~M-bM-^@M-^Y). The escape character
+ can also be set on the command line. The argument should be a
+ single character, M-bM-^@M-^X^M-bM-^@M-^Y 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, (e.g. if either end is unable to bind and
+ listen on a specified port). Note that ExitOnForwardFailure does
+ not apply to connections made over port forwardings and will not,
+ for example, cause ssh(1) to exit if TCP connections to the
+ ultimate forwarding destination fail. The argument must be yes
+ or no (the default).
+
+ FingerprintHash
+ Specifies the hash algorithm used when displaying key
+ fingerprints. Valid options are: md5 and sha256 (the default).
+
+ 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).
+
+ 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).
+
+ 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.
+ Setting ForwardX11Timeout to zero will disable the timeout and
+ permit X11 forwarding for the life of the connection. 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 (the default), 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.
+
+ 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).
+
+ GlobalKnownHostsFile
+ Specifies one or more files to use for the global host key
+ database, separated by whitespace. The default is
+ /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts, /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts2.
+
+ GSSAPIAuthentication
+ Specifies whether user authentication based on GSSAPI is allowed.
+ The default is no.
+
+ GSSAPIDelegateCredentials
+ Forward (delegate) credentials to the server. The default is no.
+
+ 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).
+
+ HostbasedKeyTypes
+ Specifies the key types that will be used for hostbased
+ authentication as a comma-separated list of patterns.
+ Alternately if the specified value begins with a M-bM-^@M-^X+M-bM-^@M-^Y character,
+ then the specified key types will be appended to the default set
+ instead of replacing them. If the specified value begins with a
+ M-bM-^@M-^X-M-bM-^@M-^Y character, then the specified key types (including wildcards)
+ will be removed from 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,
+ rsa-sha2-512-cert-v01@openssh.com,rsa-sha2-256-cert-v01@openssh.com,
+ ssh-rsa-cert-v01@openssh.com,
+ ecdsa-sha2-nistp256,ecdsa-sha2-nistp384,ecdsa-sha2-nistp521,
+ ssh-ed25519,rsa-sha2-512,rsa-sha2-256,ssh-rsa
+
+ The -Q option of ssh(1) may be used to list supported key types.
+
+ HostKeyAlgorithms
+ Specifies the host key algorithms that the client wants to use in
+ order of preference. Alternately if the specified value begins
+ with a M-bM-^@M-^X+M-bM-^@M-^Y character, then the specified key types will be
+ appended to the default set instead of replacing them. If the
+ specified value begins with a M-bM-^@M-^X-M-bM-^@M-^Y character, then the specified
+ key types (including wildcards) will be removed from 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,
+ rsa-sha2-512-cert-v01@openssh.com,rsa-sha2-256-cert-v01@openssh.com,
+ ssh-rsa-cert-v01@openssh.com,
+ ecdsa-sha2-nistp256,ecdsa-sha2-nistp384,ecdsa-sha2-nistp521,
+ ssh-ed25519,rsa-sha2-512,rsa-sha2-256,ssh-rsa
+
+ If hostkeys are known for the destination host then this default
+ is modified to prefer their algorithms.
+
+ The list of available key types may also be obtained using "ssh
+ -Q key".
+
+ 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 and when validating host certificates. 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. Arguments to
+ HostName accept the tokens described in the TOKENS section.
+ Numeric IP addresses are also permitted (both on the command line
+ and in HostName specifications). The default is the name given
+ on the command line.
+
+ IdentitiesOnly
+ Specifies that ssh(1) should only use the authentication identity
+ and certificate files explicitly configured in the ssh_config
+ files or passed on the ssh(1) command-line, even if ssh-agent(1)
+ or a PKCS11Provider offers more identities. The argument to this
+ keyword must be yes or no (the default). This option is intended
+ for situations where ssh-agent offers many different identities.
+
+ IdentityAgent
+ Specifies the UNIX-domain socket used to communicate with the
+ authentication agent.
+
+ This option overrides the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable and
+ can be used to select a specific agent. Setting the socket name
+ to none disables the use of an authentication agent. If the
+ string "SSH_AUTH_SOCK" is specified, the location of the socket
+ will be read from the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable.
+ Otherwise if the specified value begins with a M-bM-^@M-^X$M-bM-^@M-^Y character,
+ then it will be treated as an environment variable containing the
+ location of the socket.
+
+ Arguments to IdentityAgent may use the tilde syntax to refer to a
+ user's home directory or the tokens described in the TOKENS
+ section.
+
+ IdentityFile
+ Specifies a file from which the user's DSA, ECDSA, Ed25519 or RSA
+ authentication identity is read. The default is ~/.ssh/id_dsa,
+ ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa, ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 and ~/.ssh/id_rsa.
+ Additionally, any identities represented by the authentication
+ agent will be used for authentication unless IdentitiesOnly is
+ set. If no certificates have been explicitly specified by
+ CertificateFile, ssh(1) will try to load certificate information
+ from the filename obtained by appending -cert.pub to the path of
+ a specified IdentityFile.
+
+ Arguments to IdentityFile may use the tilde syntax to refer to a
+ user's home directory or the tokens described in the TOKENS
+ section.
+
+ It is possible to have multiple identity files specified in
+ configuration files; all these identities will be tried in
+ sequence. Multiple IdentityFile directives will add to the list
+ of identities tried (this behaviour differs from that of other
+ configuration directives).
+
+ IdentityFile may be used in conjunction with IdentitiesOnly to
+ select which identities in an agent are offered during
+ authentication. IdentityFile may also be used in conjunction
+ with CertificateFile in order to provide any certificate also
+ needed for authentication with the identity.
+
+ IgnoreUnknown
+ Specifies a pattern-list of unknown options to be ignored if they
+ are encountered in configuration parsing. This may be used to
+ suppress errors if ssh_config contains options that are
+ unrecognised by ssh(1). It is recommended that IgnoreUnknown be
+ listed early in the configuration file as it will not be applied
+ to unknown options that appear before it.
+
+ Include
+ Include the specified configuration file(s). Multiple pathnames
+ may be specified and each pathname may contain glob(7) wildcards
+ and, for user configurations, shell-like M-bM-^@M-^X~M-bM-^@M-^Y references to user
+ home directories. Files without absolute paths are assumed to be
+ in ~/.ssh if included in a user configuration file or /etc/ssh if
+ included from the system configuration file. Include directive
+ may appear inside a Match or Host block to perform conditional
+ inclusion.
+
+ IPQoS Specifies the IPv4 type-of-service or DSCP class for connections.
+ 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, a numeric value, or
+ none to use the operating system default. 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 af21 (Low-Latency Data) for interactive sessions
+ and cs1 (Lower Effort) for non-interactive sessions.
+
+ KbdInteractiveAuthentication
+ Specifies whether to use keyboard-interactive authentication.
+ The argument to this keyword must be yes (the default) or no.
+
+ 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 and pam.
+
+ KexAlgorithms
+ Specifies the available KEX (Key Exchange) algorithms. Multiple
+ algorithms must be comma-separated. Alternately if the specified
+ value begins with a M-bM-^@M-^X+M-bM-^@M-^Y character, then the specified methods
+ will be appended to the default set instead of replacing them.
+ If the specified value begins with a M-bM-^@M-^X-M-bM-^@M-^Y character, then the
+ specified methods (including wildcards) will be removed from the
+ default set instead of replacing them. The default is:
+
+ curve25519-sha256,curve25519-sha256@libssh.org,
+ ecdh-sha2-nistp256,ecdh-sha2-nistp384,ecdh-sha2-nistp521,
+ diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256,
+ diffie-hellman-group16-sha512,
+ diffie-hellman-group18-sha512,
+ diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1,
+ diffie-hellman-group14-sha256,
+ diffie-hellman-group14-sha1
+
+ The list of available key exchange algorithms may also be
+ obtained using "ssh -Q kex".
+
+ 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. Arguments to LocalCommand accept the tokens described in
+ the TOKENS section.
+
+ 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 M-bM-^@M-^X*M-bM-^@M-^Y 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 for data
+ integrity protection. Multiple algorithms must be comma-
+ separated. If the specified value begins with a M-bM-^@M-^X+M-bM-^@M-^Y character,
+ then the specified algorithms will be appended to the default set
+ instead of replacing them. If the specified value begins with a
+ M-bM-^@M-^X-M-bM-^@M-^Y character, then the specified algorithms (including
+ wildcards) will be removed from the default set instead of
+ replacing them.
+
+ The algorithms that contain "-etm" calculate the MAC after
+ encryption (encrypt-then-mac). These are considered safer and
+ their use recommended.
+
+ The default is:
+
+ umac-64-etm@openssh.com,umac-128-etm@openssh.com,
+ hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com,hmac-sha2-512-etm@openssh.com,
+ hmac-sha1-etm@openssh.com,
+ umac-64@openssh.com,umac-128@openssh.com,
+ hmac-sha2-256,hmac-sha2-512,hmac-sha1
+
+ The list of available MAC algorithms may also be obtained using
+ "ssh -Q mac".
+
+ NoHostAuthenticationForLocalhost
+ Disable host authentication for localhost (loopback addresses).
+ The argument to this keyword must be yes or no (the default).
+
+ 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 (the default) or no.
+
+ 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).
+
+ PKCS11Provider
+ Specifies which PKCS#11 provider to use. The argument to this
+ keyword is the PKCS#11 shared library 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 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
+
+ ProxyCommand
+ Specifies the command to use to connect to the server. The
+ command string extends to the end of the line, and is executed
+ using the user's shell M-bM-^@M-^XexecM-bM-^@M-^Y directive to avoid a lingering
+ shell process.
+
+ Arguments to ProxyCommand accept the tokens described in the
+ TOKENS section. 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
+
+ ProxyJump
+ Specifies one or more jump proxies as either [user@]host[:port]
+ or an ssh URI. Multiple proxies may be separated by comma
+ characters and will be visited sequentially. Setting this option
+ will cause ssh(1) to connect to the target host by first making a
+ ssh(1) connection to the specified ProxyJump host and then
+ establishing a TCP forwarding to the ultimate target from there.
+
+ Note that this option will compete with the ProxyCommand option -
+ whichever is specified first will prevent later instances of the
+ other from taking effect.
+
+ ProxyUseFdpass
+ Specifies that ProxyCommand will pass a connected file descriptor
+ back to ssh(1) instead of continuing to execute and pass data.
+ The default is no.
+
+ PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes
+ Specifies the key types that will be used for public key
+ authentication as a comma-separated list of patterns.
+ Alternately if the specified value begins with a M-bM-^@M-^X+M-bM-^@M-^Y character,
+ then the key types after it will be appended to the default
+ instead of replacing it. If the specified value begins with a
+ M-bM-^@M-^X-M-bM-^@M-^Y character, then the specified key types (including wildcards)
+ will be removed from 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,
+ rsa-sha2-512-cert-v01@openssh.com,rsa-sha2-256-cert-v01@openssh.com,
+ ssh-rsa-cert-v01@openssh.com,
+ ecdsa-sha2-nistp256,ecdsa-sha2-nistp384,ecdsa-sha2-nistp521,
+ ssh-ed25519,rsa-sha2-512,rsa-sha2-256,ssh-rsa
+
+ The list of available key types may also be obtained using "ssh
+ -Q key".
+
+ PubkeyAuthentication
+ Specifies whether to try public key authentication. The argument
+ to this keyword must be yes (the default) or no.
+
+ 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 M-bM-^@M-^XKM-bM-^@M-^Y, M-bM-^@M-^XMM-bM-^@M-^Y, or M-bM-^@M-^XGM-bM-^@M-^Y to indicate Kilobytes,
+ Megabytes, or Gigabytes, respectively. The default is between
+ M-bM-^@M-^X1GM-bM-^@M-^Y and M-bM-^@M-^X4GM-bM-^@M-^Y, 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 of sshd_config(5). 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.
+
+ RemoteCommand
+ Specifies a command to execute on the remote 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. Arguments to RemoteCommand accept the tokens described in
+ the TOKENS section.
+
+ RemoteForward
+ Specifies that a TCP port on the remote machine be forwarded over
+ the secure channel. The remote port may either be forwarded to a
+ specified host and port from the local machine, or may act as a
+ SOCKS 4/5 proxy that allows a remote client to connect to
+ arbitrary destinations from the local machine. The first
+ argument must be [bind_address:]port If forwarding to a specific
+ destination then the second argument must be host:hostport,
+ otherwise if no destination argument is specified then the remote
+ forwarding will be established as a SOCKS proxy.
+
+ 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 M-bM-^@M-^X*M-bM-^@M-^Y 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)).
+
+ RequestTTY
+ Specifies whether to request a pseudo-tty for the session. The
+ argument may be one of: no (never request a TTY), yes (always
+ request a TTY when standard input is a TTY), force (always
+ request a TTY) or auto (request a TTY when opening a login
+ session). This option mirrors the -t and -T flags for ssh(1).
+
+ RevokedHostKeys
+ Specifies revoked host public keys. Keys listed in this file
+ will be refused for host authentication. Note that if this file
+ does not exist or is not readable, then host authentication will
+ be refused for all hosts. 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).
+
+ SendEnv
+ Specifies what variables from the local environ(7) should be sent
+ to the server. The server must also support it, and the server
+ must be configured to accept these environment variables. Note
+ that the TERM environment variable is always sent whenever a
+ pseudo-terminal is requested as it is required by the protocol.
+ 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.
+
+ See PATTERNS for more information on patterns.
+
+ It is possible to clear previously set SendEnv variable names by
+ prefixing patterns with -. The default is not to send any
+ environment variables.
+
+ 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.
+
+ 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.
+
+ SetEnv Directly specify one or more environment variables and their
+ contents to be sent to the server. Similarly to SendEnv, the
+ server must be prepared to accept the environment variable.
+
+ 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.
+
+ The default value is 0177, which creates a Unix-domain socket
+ file that is readable and writable only by the owner. Note that
+ not all operating systems honor the file mode on Unix-domain
+ socket files.
+
+ 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, ssh 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.
+
+ The argument must be yes or no (the default).
+
+ 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 man-in-the-middle (MITM) 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 M-bM-^@M-^\accept-newM-bM-^@M-^] then ssh will automatically
+ add new host keys to the user known hosts files, but will not
+ permit connections to hosts with changed host keys. If this flag
+ is set to M-bM-^@M-^\noM-bM-^@M-^] or M-bM-^@M-^\offM-bM-^@M-^], ssh will automatically add new host keys
+ to the user known hosts files and allow connections to hosts with
+ changed hostkeys to proceed, subject to some restrictions. If
+ this flag is set to ask (the default), 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.
+
+ SyslogFacility
+ Gives the facility code that is used when logging messages from
+ ssh(1). The possible values are: DAEMON, USER, AUTH, LOCAL0,
+ LOCAL1, LOCAL2, LOCAL3, LOCAL4, LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7. The
+ default is USER.
+
+ 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.
+ See also ServerAliveInterval for protocol-level keepalives.
+
+ 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 (the default). Specifying yes requests
+ the default tunnel mode, which is point-to-point.
+
+ 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.
+
+ UpdateHostKeys
+ Specifies whether ssh(1) should accept notifications of
+ additional hostkeys from the server sent after authentication has
+ completed and add them to UserKnownHostsFile. The argument must
+ be yes, no (the default) or ask. Enabling this option allows
+ learning alternate hostkeys for a server and supports graceful
+ key rotation by allowing a server to send replacement public keys
+ before old ones are removed. Additional hostkeys are only
+ accepted if the key used to authenticate the host was already
+ trusted or explicitly accepted by the user. If UpdateHostKeys is
+ set to ask, then the user is asked to confirm the modifications
+ to the known_hosts file. Confirmation is currently incompatible
+ with ControlPersist, and will be disabled if it is enabled.
+
+ Presently, only sshd(8) from OpenSSH 6.8 and greater support the
+ "hostkeys@openssh.com" protocol extension used to inform the
+ client of all the server's hostkeys.
+
+ 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 one or more files to use for the user host key
+ database, separated by whitespace. The default is
+ ~/.ssh/known_hosts, ~/.ssh/known_hosts2.
+
+ 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
+ default is no.
+
+ 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
+ fingerprint string at login and for unknown host keys. If this
+ flag is set to no (the default), no fingerprint strings are
+ printed at login and only the fingerprint string will be printed
+ for unknown host keys.
+
+ 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, M-bM-^@M-^X*M-bM-^@M-^Y (a
+ wildcard that matches zero or more characters), or M-bM-^@M-^X?M-bM-^@M-^Y (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
+ (M-bM-^@M-^X!M-bM-^@M-^Y). For example, to allow a key to be used from anywhere within an
+ organization except from the "dialup" pool, the following entry (in
+ authorized_keys) could be used:
+
+ from="!*.dialup.example.com,*.example.com"
+
+ Note that a negated match will never produce a positive result by itself.
+ For example, attempting to match "host3" against the following pattern-
+ list will fail:
+
+ from="!host1,!host2"
+
+ The solution here is to include a term that will yield a positive match,
+ such as a wildcard:
+
+ from="!host1,!host2,*"
+
+TOKENS
+ Arguments to some keywords can make use of tokens, which are expanded at
+ runtime:
+
+ %% A literal M-bM-^@M-^X%M-bM-^@M-^Y.
+ %C Hash of %l%h%p%r.
+ %d Local user's home directory.
+ %h The remote hostname.
+ %i The local user ID.
+ %L The local hostname.
+ %l The local hostname, including the domain name.
+ %n The original remote hostname, as given on the command line.
+ %p The remote port.
+ %r The remote username.
+ %T The local tun(4) or tap(4) network interface assigned if
+ tunnel forwarding was requested, or "NONE" otherwise.
+ %u The local username.
+
+ Match exec accepts the tokens %%, %h, %i, %L, %l, %n, %p, %r, and %u.
+
+ CertificateFile accepts the tokens %%, %d, %h, %i, %l, %r, and %u.
+
+ ControlPath accepts the tokens %%, %C, %h, %i, %L, %l, %n, %p, %r, and
+ %u.
+
+ HostName accepts the tokens %% and %h.
+
+ IdentityAgent and IdentityFile accept the tokens %%, %d, %h, %i, %l, %r,
+ and %u.
+
+ LocalCommand accepts the tokens %%, %C, %d, %h, %i, %l, %n, %p, %r, %T,

+ ProxyCommand accepts the tokens %%, %h, %p, and %r.
+
+ RemoteCommand accepts the tokens %%, %C, %d, %h, %i, %l, %n, %p, %r, and
+ %u.

+The matched host name is usually the one given on the command line
+(see the
+.Cm CanonicalizeHostname
+option for exceptions).
+.Pp
+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.
+.Pp
+The file contains keyword-argument pairs, one per line.
+Lines starting with
+.Ql #
+and empty lines are interpreted as comments.
+Arguments may optionally be enclosed in double quotes
+.Pq \&"
+in order to represent arguments containing spaces.
+Configuration options may be separated by whitespace or
+optional whitespace and exactly one
+.Ql = ;
+the latter format is useful to avoid the need to quote whitespace
+when specifying configuration options using the
+.Nm ssh ,
+.Nm scp ,
+and
+.Nm sftp
+.Fl o
+option.
+.Pp
+The possible
+keywords and their meanings are as follows (note that
+keywords are case-insensitive and arguments are case-sensitive):
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Cm Host
+Restricts the following declarations (up to the next
+.Cm Host
+or
+.Cm Match
+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
+.Ql *
+as a pattern can be used to provide global
+defaults for all hosts.
+The host is usually the
+.Ar hostname
+argument given on the command line
+(see the
+.Cm CanonicalizeHostname
+keyword for exceptions).
+.Pp
+A pattern entry may be negated by prefixing it with an exclamation mark
+.Pq Sq !\& .
+If a negated entry is matched, then the
+.Cm Host
+entry is ignored, regardless of whether any other patterns on the line
+match.
+Negated matches are therefore useful to provide exceptions for wildcard
+matches.
+.Pp
+See
+.Sx PATTERNS
+for more information on patterns.
+.It Cm Match
+Restricts the following declarations (up to the next
+.Cm Host
+or
+.Cm Match
+keyword) to be used only when the conditions following the
+.Cm Match
+keyword are satisfied.
+Match conditions are specified using one or more criteria
+or the single token
+.Cm all
+which always matches.
+The available criteria keywords are:
+.Cm canonical ,
+.Cm exec ,
+.Cm host ,
+.Cm originalhost ,
+.Cm user ,
+and
+.Cm localuser .
+The
+.Cm all
+criteria must appear alone or immediately after
+.Cm canonical .
+Other criteria may be combined arbitrarily.
+All criteria but
+.Cm all
+and
+.Cm canonical
+require an argument.
+Criteria may be negated by prepending an exclamation mark
+.Pq Sq !\& .
+.Pp
+The
+.Cm canonical
+keyword matches only when the configuration file is being re-parsed
+after hostname canonicalization (see the
+.Cm CanonicalizeHostname
+option.)
+This may be useful to specify conditions that work with canonical host
+names only.
+The
+.Cm exec
+keyword executes the specified command under the user's shell.
+If the command returns a zero exit status then the condition is considered true.
+Commands containing whitespace characters must be quoted.
+Arguments to
+.Cm exec
+accept the tokens described in the
+.Sx TOKENS
+section.
+.Pp
+The other keywords' criteria must be single entries or comma-separated
+lists and may use the wildcard and negation operators described in the
+.Sx PATTERNS
+section.
+The criteria for the
+.Cm host
+keyword are matched against the target hostname, after any substitution
+by the
+.Cm Hostname
+or
+.Cm CanonicalizeHostname
+options.
+The
+.Cm originalhost
+keyword matches against the hostname as it was specified on the command-line.
+The
+.Cm user
+keyword matches against the target username on the remote host.
+The
+.Cm localuser
+keyword matches against the name of the local user running
+.Xr ssh 1
+(this keyword may be useful in system-wide
+.Nm
+files).
+.It Cm AddKeysToAgent
+Specifies whether keys should be automatically added to a running
+.Xr ssh-agent 1 .
+If this option is set to
+.Cm yes
+and a key is loaded from a file, the key and its passphrase are added to
+the agent with the default lifetime, as if by
+.Xr ssh-add 1 .
+If this option is set to
+.Cm ask ,
+.Xr ssh 1
+will require confirmation using the
+.Ev SSH_ASKPASS
+program before adding a key (see
+.Xr ssh-add 1
+for details).
+If this option is set to
+.Cm confirm ,
+each use of the key must be confirmed, as if the
+.Fl c
+option was specified to
+.Xr ssh-add 1 .
+If this option is set to
+.Cm no ,
+no keys are added to the agent.
+The argument must be
+.Cm yes ,
+.Cm confirm ,
+.Cm ask ,
+or
+.Cm no
+(the default).
+.It Cm AddressFamily
+Specifies which address family to use when connecting.
+Valid arguments are
+.Cm any
+(the default),
+.Cm inet
+(use IPv4 only), or
+.Cm inet6
+(use IPv6 only).
+.It Cm BatchMode
+If set to
+.Cm 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
+.Cm yes
+or
+.Cm no
+(the default).
+.It Cm 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.
+.It Cm BindInterface
+Use the address of the specified interface on the local machine as the
+source address of the connection.
+.It Cm CanonicalDomains
+When
+.Cm CanonicalizeHostname
+is enabled, this option specifies the list of domain suffixes in which to
+search for the specified destination host.
+.It Cm CanonicalizeFallbackLocal
+Specifies whether to fail with an error when hostname canonicalization fails.
+The default,
+.Cm yes ,
+will attempt to look up the unqualified hostname using the system resolver's
+search rules.
+A value of
+.Cm no
+will cause
+.Xr ssh 1
+to fail instantly if
+.Cm CanonicalizeHostname
+is enabled and the target hostname cannot be found in any of the domains
+specified by
+.Cm CanonicalDomains .
+.It Cm CanonicalizeHostname
+Controls whether explicit hostname canonicalization is performed.
+The default,
+.Cm no ,
+is not to perform any name rewriting and let the system resolver handle all
+hostname lookups.
+If set to
+.Cm yes
+then, for connections that do not use a
+.Cm ProxyCommand
+or
+.Cm ProxyJump ,
+.Xr ssh 1
+will attempt to canonicalize the hostname specified on the command line
+using the
+.Cm CanonicalDomains
+suffixes and
+.Cm CanonicalizePermittedCNAMEs
+rules.
+If
+.Cm CanonicalizeHostname
+is set to
+.Cm always ,
+then canonicalization is applied to proxied connections too.
+.Pp
+If this option is enabled, then the configuration files are processed
+again using the new target name to pick up any new configuration in matching
+.Cm Host
+and
+.Cm Match
+stanzas.
+.It Cm CanonicalizeMaxDots
+Specifies the maximum number of dot characters in a hostname before
+canonicalization is disabled.
+The default, 1,
+allows a single dot (i.e. hostname.subdomain).
+.It Cm CanonicalizePermittedCNAMEs
+Specifies rules to determine whether CNAMEs should be followed when
+canonicalizing hostnames.
+The rules consist of one or more arguments of
+.Ar source_domain_list : Ns Ar target_domain_list ,
+where
+.Ar source_domain_list
+is a pattern-list of domains that may follow CNAMEs in canonicalization,
+and
+.Ar target_domain_list
+is a pattern-list of domains that they may resolve to.
+.Pp
+For example,
+.Qq *.a.example.com:*.b.example.com,*.c.example.com
+will allow hostnames matching
+.Qq *.a.example.com
+to be canonicalized to names in the
+.Qq *.b.example.com
+or
+.Qq *.c.example.com
+domains.
+.It Cm CASignatureAlgorithms
+Specifies which algorithms are allowed for signing of certificates
+by certificate authorities (CAs).
+The default is:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+ecdsa-sha2-nistp256.ecdsa-sha2-nistp384,ecdsa-sha2-nistp521,
+ssh-ed25519,rsa-sha2-512,rsa-sha2-256,ssh-rsa
+.Ed
+.Pp
+.Xr ssh 1
+will not accept host certificates signed using algorithms other than those
+specified.
+.It Cm CertificateFile
+Specifies a file from which the user's certificate is read.
+A corresponding private key must be provided separately in order
+to use this certificate either
+from an
+.Cm IdentityFile
+directive or
+.Fl i
+flag to
+.Xr ssh 1 ,
+via
+.Xr ssh-agent 1 ,
+or via a
+.Cm PKCS11Provider .
+.Pp
+Arguments to
+.Cm CertificateFile
+may use the tilde syntax to refer to a user's home directory
+or the tokens described in the
+.Sx TOKENS
+section.
+.Pp
+It is possible to have multiple certificate files specified in
+configuration files; these certificates will be tried in sequence.
+Multiple
+.Cm CertificateFile
+directives will add to the list of certificates used for
+authentication.
+.It Cm ChallengeResponseAuthentication
+Specifies whether to use challenge-response authentication.
+The argument to this keyword must be
+.Cm yes
+(the default)
+or
+.Cm no .
+.It Cm CheckHostIP
+If set to
+.Cm yes
+(the default),
+.Xr ssh 1
+will additionally check the host IP address in the
+.Pa known_hosts
+file.
+This allows it to detect if a host key changed due to DNS spoofing
+and will add addresses of destination hosts to
+.Pa ~/.ssh/known_hosts
+in the process, regardless of the setting of
+.Cm StrictHostKeyChecking .
+If the option is set to
+.Cm no ,
+the check will not be executed.
+.It Cm Ciphers
+Specifies the ciphers allowed and their order of preference.
+Multiple ciphers must be comma-separated.
+If the specified value begins with a
+.Sq +
+character, then the specified ciphers will be appended to the default set
+instead of replacing them.
+If the specified value begins with a
+.Sq -
+character, then the specified ciphers (including wildcards) will be removed
+from the default set instead of replacing them.
+.Pp
+The supported ciphers are:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+3des-cbc
+aes128-cbc
+aes192-cbc
+aes256-cbc
+aes128-ctr
+aes192-ctr
+aes256-ctr
+aes128-gcm@openssh.com
+aes256-gcm@openssh.com
+chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The default is:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com,
+aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,
+aes128-gcm@openssh.com,aes256-gcm@openssh.com
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The list of available ciphers may also be obtained using
+.Qq ssh -Q cipher .
+.It Cm 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
+.Xr ssh 1
+command line to clear port forwardings set in
+configuration files, and is automatically set by
+.Xr scp 1
+and
+.Xr sftp 1 .
+The argument must be
+.Cm yes
+or
+.Cm no
+(the default).
+.It Cm Compression
+Specifies whether to use compression.
+The argument must be
+.Cm yes
+or
+.Cm no
+(the default).
+.It Cm 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.
+.It Cm 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.
+.It Cm ControlMaster
+Enables the sharing of multiple sessions over a single network connection.
+When set to
+.Cm yes ,
+.Xr ssh 1
+will listen for connections on a control socket specified using the
+.Cm ControlPath
+argument.
+Additional sessions can connect to this socket using the same
+.Cm ControlPath
+with
+.Cm ControlMaster
+set to
+.Cm 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.
+.Pp
+Setting this to
+.Cm ask
+will cause
+.Xr ssh 1
+to listen for control connections, but require confirmation using
+.Xr ssh-askpass 1 .
+If the
+.Cm ControlPath
+cannot be opened,
+.Xr ssh 1
+will continue without connecting to a master instance.
+.Pp
+X11 and
+.Xr 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.
+.Pp
+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:
+.Cm auto
+and
+.Cm autoask .
+The latter requires confirmation like the
+.Cm ask
+option.
+.It Cm ControlPath
+Specify the path to the control socket used for connection sharing as described
+in the
+.Cm ControlMaster
+section above or the string
+.Cm none
+to disable connection sharing.
+Arguments to
+.Cm ControlPath
+may use the tilde syntax to refer to a user's home directory
+or the tokens described in the
+.Sx TOKENS
+section.
+It is recommended that any
+.Cm ControlPath
+used for opportunistic connection sharing include
+at least %h, %p, and %r (or alternatively %C) and be placed in a directory
+that is not writable by other users.
+This ensures that shared connections are uniquely identified.
+.It Cm ControlPersist
+When used in conjunction with
+.Cm 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
+.Cm 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
+.Cm yes
+or 0,
+then the master connection will remain in the background indefinitely
+(until killed or closed via a mechanism such as the
+.Qq ssh -O exit ) .
+If set to a time in seconds, or a time in any of the formats documented in
+.Xr sshd_config 5 ,
+then the backgrounded master connection will automatically terminate
+after it has remained idle (with no client connections) for the
+specified time.
+.It Cm 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.
+.Pp
+The argument must be
+.Sm off
+.Oo Ar bind_address : Oc Ar port .
+.Sm on
+IPv6 addresses can be specified by enclosing addresses in square brackets.
+By default, the local port is bound in accordance with the
+.Cm GatewayPorts
+setting.
+However, an explicit
+.Ar bind_address
+may be used to bind the connection to a specific address.
+The
+.Ar bind_address
+of
+.Cm localhost
+indicates that the listening port be bound for local use only, while an
+empty address or
+.Sq *
+indicates that the port should be available from all interfaces.
+.Pp
+Currently the SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 protocols are supported, and
+.Xr 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.
+.It Cm EnableSSHKeysign
+Setting this option to
+.Cm yes
+in the global client configuration file
+.Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_config
+enables the use of the helper program
+.Xr ssh-keysign 8
+during
+.Cm HostbasedAuthentication .
+The argument must be
+.Cm yes
+or
+.Cm no
+(the default).
+This option should be placed in the non-hostspecific section.
+See
+.Xr ssh-keysign 8
+for more information.
+.It Cm EscapeChar
+Sets the escape character (default:
+.Ql ~ ) .
+The escape character can also
+be set on the command line.
+The argument should be a single character,
+.Ql ^
+followed by a letter, or
+.Cm none
+to disable the escape
+character entirely (making the connection transparent for binary
+data).
+.It Cm ExitOnForwardFailure
+Specifies whether
+.Xr ssh 1
+should terminate the connection if it cannot set up all requested
+dynamic, tunnel, local, and remote port forwardings, (e.g.\&
+if either end is unable to bind and listen on a specified port).
+Note that
+.Cm ExitOnForwardFailure
+does not apply to connections made over port forwardings and will not,
+for example, cause
+.Xr ssh 1
+to exit if TCP connections to the ultimate forwarding destination fail.
+The argument must be
+.Cm yes
+or
+.Cm no
+(the default).
+.It Cm FingerprintHash
+Specifies the hash algorithm used when displaying key fingerprints.
+Valid options are:
+.Cm md5
+and
+.Cm sha256
+(the default).
+.It Cm ForwardAgent
+Specifies whether the connection to the authentication agent (if any)
+will be forwarded to the remote machine.
+The argument must be
+.Cm yes
+or
+.Cm no
+(the default).
+.Pp
+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.
+.It Cm ForwardX11
+Specifies whether X11 connections will be automatically redirected
+over the secure channel and
+.Ev DISPLAY
+set.
+The argument must be
+.Cm yes
+or
+.Cm no
+(the default).
+.Pp
+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
+.Cm ForwardX11Trusted
+option is also enabled.
+.It Cm ForwardX11Timeout
+Specify a timeout for untrusted X11 forwarding
+using the format described in the
+.Sx TIME FORMATS
+section of
+.Xr sshd_config 5 .
+X11 connections received by
+.Xr ssh 1
+after this time will be refused.
+Setting
+.Cm ForwardX11Timeout
+to zero will disable the timeout and permit X11 forwarding for the life
+of the connection.
+The default is to disable untrusted X11 forwarding after twenty minutes has
+elapsed.
+.It Cm ForwardX11Trusted
+If this option is set to
+.Cm yes ,
+remote X11 clients will have full access to the original X11 display.
+.Pp
+If this option is set to
+.Cm no
+(the default),
+remote X11 clients will be considered untrusted and prevented
+from stealing or tampering with data belonging to trusted X11
+clients.
+Furthermore, the
+.Xr xauth 1
+token used for the session will be set to expire after 20 minutes.
+Remote clients will be refused access after this time.
+.Pp
+See the X11 SECURITY extension specification for full details on
+the restrictions imposed on untrusted clients.
+.It Cm GatewayPorts
+Specifies whether remote hosts are allowed to connect to local
+forwarded ports.
+By default,
+.Xr ssh 1
+binds local port forwardings to the loopback address.
+This prevents other remote hosts from connecting to forwarded ports.
+.Cm 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
+.Cm yes
+or
+.Cm no
+(the default).
+.It Cm GlobalKnownHostsFile
+Specifies one or more files to use for the global
+host key database, separated by whitespace.
+The default is
+.Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts ,
+.Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts2 .
+.It Cm GSSAPIAuthentication
+Specifies whether user authentication based on GSSAPI is allowed.
+The default is
+.Cm no .
+.It Cm GSSAPIDelegateCredentials
+Forward (delegate) credentials to the server.
+The default is
+.Cm no .
+.It Cm HashKnownHosts
+Indicates that
+.Xr ssh 1
+should hash host names and addresses when they are added to
+.Pa ~/.ssh/known_hosts .
+These hashed names may be used normally by
+.Xr ssh 1
+and
+.Xr sshd 8 ,
+but they do not reveal identifying information should the file's contents
+be disclosed.
+The default is
+.Cm no .
+Note that existing names and addresses in known hosts files
+will not be converted automatically,
+but may be manually hashed using
+.Xr ssh-keygen 1 .
+.It Cm HostbasedAuthentication
+Specifies whether to try rhosts based authentication with public key
+authentication.
+The argument must be
+.Cm yes
+or
+.Cm no
+(the default).
+.It Cm HostbasedKeyTypes
+Specifies the key types that will be used for hostbased authentication
+as a comma-separated list of patterns.
+Alternately if the specified value begins with a
+.Sq +
+character, then the specified key types will be appended to the default set
+instead of replacing them.
+If the specified value begins with a
+.Sq -
+character, then the specified key types (including wildcards) will be removed
+from the default set instead of replacing them.
+The default for this option is:
+.Bd -literal -offset 3n
+ecdsa-sha2-nistp256-cert-v01@openssh.com,
+ecdsa-sha2-nistp384-cert-v01@openssh.com,

+.Ed
+.Pp
+The
+.Fl Q
+option of
+.Xr ssh 1
+may be used to list supported key types.
+.It Cm HostKeyAlgorithms
+Specifies the host key algorithms
+that the client wants to use in order of preference.
+Alternately if the specified value begins with a
+.Sq +
+character, then the specified key types will be appended to the default set
+instead of replacing them.
+If the specified value begins with a
+.Sq -
+character, then the specified key types (including wildcards) will be removed
+from the default set instead of replacing them.
+The default for this option is:

+.Ed
+.Pp
+If hostkeys are known for the destination host then this default is modified
+to prefer their algorithms.
+.Pp
+The list of available key types may also be obtained using
+.Qq ssh -Q key .
+.It Cm 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 and when validating host certificates.
+This option is useful for tunneling SSH connections
+or for multiple servers running on a single host.
+.It Cm HostName
+Specifies the real host name to log into.
+This can be used to specify nicknames or abbreviations for hosts.
+Arguments to
+.Cm HostName
+accept the tokens described in the
+.Sx TOKENS
+section.
+Numeric IP addresses are also permitted (both on the command line and in
+.Cm HostName
+specifications).
+The default is the name given on the command line.
+.It Cm IdentitiesOnly
+Specifies that
+.Xr ssh 1
+should only use the authentication identity and certificate files explicitly
+configured in the
+.Nm
+files
+or passed on the
+.Xr ssh 1
+command-line,
+even if
+.Xr ssh-agent 1
+or a
+.Cm PKCS11Provider
+offers more identities.
+The argument to this keyword must be
+.Cm yes
+or
+.Cm no
+(the default).
+This option is intended for situations where ssh-agent
+offers many different identities.
+.It Cm IdentityAgent
+Specifies the
+.Ux Ns -domain
+socket used to communicate with the authentication agent.
+.Pp
+This option overrides the
+.Ev SSH_AUTH_SOCK
+environment variable and can be used to select a specific agent.
+Setting the socket name to
+.Cm none
+disables the use of an authentication agent.
+If the string
+.Qq SSH_AUTH_SOCK
+is specified, the location of the socket will be read from the
+.Ev SSH_AUTH_SOCK
+environment variable.
+Otherwise if the specified value begins with a
+.Sq $
+character, then it will be treated as an environment variable containing
+the location of the socket.
+.Pp
+Arguments to
+.Cm IdentityAgent
+may use the tilde syntax to refer to a user's home directory
+or the tokens described in the
+.Sx TOKENS
+section.
+.It Cm IdentityFile
+Specifies a file from which the user's DSA, ECDSA, Ed25519 or RSA authentication
+identity is read.
+The default is
+.Pa ~/.ssh/id_dsa ,
+.Pa ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa ,
+.Pa ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
+and
+.Pa ~/.ssh/id_rsa .
+Additionally, any identities represented by the authentication agent
+will be used for authentication unless
+.Cm IdentitiesOnly
+is set.
+If no certificates have been explicitly specified by
+.Cm CertificateFile ,
+.Xr ssh 1
+will try to load certificate information from the filename obtained by
+appending
+.Pa -cert.pub
+to the path of a specified
+.Cm IdentityFile .
+.Pp
+Arguments to
+.Cm IdentityFile
+may use the tilde syntax to refer to a user's home directory
+or the tokens described in the
+.Sx TOKENS
+section.
+.Pp
+It is possible to have
+multiple identity files specified in configuration files; all these
+identities will be tried in sequence.
+Multiple
+.Cm IdentityFile
+directives will add to the list of identities tried (this behaviour
+differs from that of other configuration directives).
+.Pp
+.Cm IdentityFile
+may be used in conjunction with
+.Cm IdentitiesOnly
+to select which identities in an agent are offered during authentication.
+.Cm IdentityFile
+may also be used in conjunction with
+.Cm CertificateFile
+in order to provide any certificate also needed for authentication with
+the identity.
+.It Cm IgnoreUnknown
+Specifies a pattern-list of unknown options to be ignored if they are
+encountered in configuration parsing.
+This may be used to suppress errors if
+.Nm
+contains options that are unrecognised by
+.Xr ssh 1 .
+It is recommended that
+.Cm IgnoreUnknown
+be listed early in the configuration file as it will not be applied
+to unknown options that appear before it.

+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
+.Cm GatewayPorts
+setting.
+However, an explicit
+.Ar bind_address
+may be used to bind the connection to a specific address.
+The
+.Ar bind_address
+of
+.Cm localhost
+indicates that the listening port be bound for local use only, while an
+empty address or
+.Sq *
+indicates that the port should be available from all interfaces.
+.It Cm LogLevel
+Gives the verbosity level that is used when logging messages from
+.Xr 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.

+.It Cm PKCS11Provider
+Specifies which PKCS#11 provider to use.
+The argument to this keyword is the PKCS#11 shared library
+.Xr ssh 1
+should use to communicate with a PKCS#11 token providing the user's
+private RSA key.
+.It Cm Port
+Specifies the port number to connect on the remote host.
+The default is 22.
+.It Cm PreferredAuthentications
+Specifies the order in which the client should try authentication methods.
+This allows a client to prefer one method (e.g.\&
+.Cm keyboard-interactive )
+over another method (e.g.\&
+.Cm password ) .
+The default is:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+gssapi-with-mic,hostbased,publickey,
+keyboard-interactive,password
+.Ed
+.It Cm ProxyCommand
+Specifies the command to use to connect to the server.
+The command
+string extends to the end of the line, and is executed
+using the user's shell
+.Ql exec
+directive to avoid a lingering shell process.
+.Pp
+Arguments to
+.Cm ProxyCommand
+accept the tokens described in the
+.Sx TOKENS
+section.
+The command can be basically anything,
+and should read from its standard input and write to its standard output.
+It should eventually connect an
+.Xr sshd 8
+server running on some machine, or execute
+.Ic 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
+.Cm none
+disables this option entirely.
+Note that
+.Cm CheckHostIP
+is not available for connects with a proxy command.
+.Pp
+This directive is useful in conjunction with
+.Xr nc 1
+and its proxy support.
+For example, the following directive would connect via an HTTP proxy at
+192.0.2.0:
+.Bd -literal -offset 3n
+ProxyCommand /usr/bin/nc -X connect -x 192.0.2.0:8080 %h %p

+.It Cm ProxyJump
+Specifies one or more jump proxies as either
+.Xo
+.Sm off
+.Op Ar user No @
+.Ar host
+.Op : Ns Ar port
+.Sm on
+or an ssh URI
+.Xc .
+Multiple proxies may be separated by comma characters and will be visited
+sequentially.
+Setting this option will cause
+.Xr ssh 1
+to connect to the target host by first making a
+.Xr ssh 1
+connection to the specified
+.Cm ProxyJump
+host and then establishing a
+TCP forwarding to the ultimate target from there.
+.Pp
+Note that this option will compete with the
+.Cm ProxyCommand
+option - whichever is specified first will prevent later instances of the
+other from taking effect.
+.It Cm ProxyUseFdpass
+Specifies that
+.Cm ProxyCommand
+will pass a connected file descriptor back to
+.Xr ssh 1
+instead of continuing to execute and pass data.
+The default is
+.Cm no .
+.It Cm PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes
+Specifies the key types that will be used for public key authentication
+as a comma-separated list of patterns.
+Alternately if the specified value begins with a
+.Sq +
+character, then the key types after it will be appended to the default
+instead of replacing it.
+If the specified value begins with a
+.Sq -
+character, then the specified key types (including wildcards) will be removed
+from the default set instead of replacing them.
+The default for this option is:

+.Ed
+.Pp
+The list of available key types may also be obtained using
+.Qq ssh -Q key .
+.It Cm PubkeyAuthentication
+Specifies whether to try public key authentication.
+The argument to this keyword must be
+.Cm yes
+(the default)
+or
+.Cm no .
+.It Cm 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
+.Sq K ,
+.Sq M ,
+or
+.Sq G
+to indicate Kilobytes, Megabytes, or Gigabytes, respectively.
+The default is between
+.Sq 1G
+and
+.Sq 4G ,
+depending on the cipher.
+The optional second value is specified in seconds and may use any of the
+units documented in the
+.Sx TIME FORMATS
+section of
+.Xr sshd_config 5 .
+The default value for
+.Cm RekeyLimit
+is
+.Cm 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.
+.It Cm RemoteCommand
+Specifies a command to execute on the remote 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.
+Arguments to
+.Cm RemoteCommand
+accept the tokens described in the
+.Sx TOKENS
+section.
+.It Cm RemoteForward
+Specifies that a TCP port on the remote machine be forwarded over
+the secure channel.
+The remote port may either be forwarded to a specified host and port
+from the local machine, or may act as a SOCKS 4/5 proxy that allows a remote
+client to connect to arbitrary destinations from the local machine.
+The first argument must be
+.Sm off
+.Oo Ar bind_address : Oc Ar port
+.Sm on
+If forwarding to a specific destination then the second argument must be
+.Ar host : Ns Ar hostport ,
+otherwise if no destination argument is specified then the remote forwarding
+will be established as a SOCKS proxy.
+.Pp
+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.
+.Pp
+If the
+.Ar port
+argument is 0,
+the listen port will be dynamically allocated on the server and reported
+to the client at run time.
+.Pp
+If the
+.Ar bind_address
+is not specified, the default is to only bind to loopback addresses.
+If the
+.Ar bind_address
+is
+.Ql *
+or an empty string, then the forwarding is requested to listen on all
+interfaces.
+Specifying a remote
+.Ar bind_address
+will only succeed if the server's
+.Cm GatewayPorts
+option is enabled (see
+.Xr sshd_config 5 ) .
+.It Cm RequestTTY
+Specifies whether to request a pseudo-tty for the session.
+The argument may be one of:
+.Cm no
+(never request a TTY),
+.Cm yes
+(always request a TTY when standard input is a TTY),
+.Cm force
+(always request a TTY) or
+.Cm auto
+(request a TTY when opening a login session).
+This option mirrors the
+.Fl t
+and
+.Fl T
+flags for
+.Xr ssh 1 .
+.It Cm RevokedHostKeys
+Specifies revoked host public keys.
+Keys listed in this file will be refused for host authentication.
+Note that if this file does not exist or is not readable,
+then host authentication will be refused for all hosts.
+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
+.Xr ssh-keygen 1 .
+For more information on KRLs, see the KEY REVOCATION LISTS section in
+.Xr ssh-keygen 1 .
+.It Cm SendEnv
+Specifies what variables from the local
+.Xr environ 7
+should be sent to the server.
+The server must also support it, and the server must be configured to
+accept these environment variables.
+Note that the
+.Ev TERM
+environment variable is always sent whenever a
+pseudo-terminal is requested as it is required by the protocol.
+Refer to
+.Cm AcceptEnv
+in
+.Xr 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
+.Cm SendEnv
+directives.
+.Pp
+See
+.Sx PATTERNS
+for more information on patterns.
+.Pp
+It is possible to clear previously set
+.Cm SendEnv
+variable names by prefixing patterns with
+.Pa - .
+The default is not to send any environment variables.
+.It Cm ServerAliveCountMax
+Sets the number of server alive messages (see below) which may be
+sent without
+.Xr 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
+.Cm TCPKeepAlive
+(below).
+The server alive messages are sent through the encrypted channel
+and therefore will not be spoofable.
+The TCP keepalive option enabled by
+.Cm TCPKeepAlive
+is spoofable.
+The server alive mechanism is valuable when the client or
+server depend on knowing when a connection has become inactive.
+.Pp
+The default value is 3.
+If, for example,
+.Cm ServerAliveInterval
+(see below) is set to 15 and
+.Cm ServerAliveCountMax
+is left at the default, if the server becomes unresponsive,
+ssh will disconnect after approximately 45 seconds.
+.It Cm ServerAliveInterval
+Sets a timeout interval in seconds after which if no data has been received
+from the server,
+.Xr 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.
+.It Cm SetEnv
+Directly specify one or more environment variables and their contents to
+be sent to the server.
+Similarly to
+.Cm SendEnv ,
+the server must be prepared to accept the environment variable.
+.It Cm StreamLocalBindMask
+Sets the octal file creation mode mask
+.Pq 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.
+.Pp
+The default value is 0177, which creates a Unix-domain socket file that is
+readable and writable only by the owner.
+Note that not all operating systems honor the file mode on Unix-domain
+socket files.
+.It Cm 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
+.Cm StreamLocalBindUnlink
+is not enabled,
+.Nm ssh
+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.
+.Pp
+The argument must be
+.Cm yes
+or
+.Cm no
+(the default).
+.It Cm StrictHostKeyChecking
+If this flag is set to
+.Cm yes ,
+.Xr ssh 1
+will never automatically add host keys to the
+.Pa ~/.ssh/known_hosts
+file, and refuses to connect to hosts whose host key has changed.
+This provides maximum protection against man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks,
+though it can be annoying when the
+.Pa /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.
+.Pp
+If this flag is set to
+.Dq accept-new
+then ssh will automatically add new host keys to the user
+known hosts files, but will not permit connections to hosts with
+changed host keys.
+If this flag is set to
+.Dq no
+or
+.Dq off ,
+ssh will automatically add new host keys to the user known hosts files
+and allow connections to hosts with changed hostkeys to proceed,
+subject to some restrictions.
+If this flag is set to
+.Cm ask
+(the default),
+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.
+.It Cm SyslogFacility
+Gives the facility code that is used when logging messages from
+.Xr ssh 1 .
+The possible values are: DAEMON, USER, AUTH, LOCAL0, LOCAL1, LOCAL2,
+LOCAL3, LOCAL4, LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7.
+The default is USER.
+.It Cm 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.
+.Pp
+The default is
+.Cm 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.
+.Pp
+To disable TCP keepalive messages, the value should be set to
+.Cm no .
+See also
+.Cm ServerAliveInterval
+for protocol-level keepalives.
+.It Cm Tunnel
+Request
+.Xr tun 4
+device forwarding between the client and the server.
+The argument must be
+.Cm yes ,
+.Cm point-to-point
+(layer 3),
+.Cm ethernet
+(layer 2),
+or
+.Cm no
+(the default).
+Specifying
+.Cm yes
+requests the default tunnel mode, which is
+.Cm point-to-point .
+.It Cm TunnelDevice
+Specifies the
+.Xr tun 4
+devices to open on the client
+.Pq Ar local_tun
+and the server
+.Pq Ar remote_tun .
+.Pp
+The argument must be
+.Sm off
+.Ar local_tun Op : Ar remote_tun .
+.Sm on
+The devices may be specified by numerical ID or the keyword
+.Cm any ,
+which uses the next available tunnel device.
+If
+.Ar remote_tun
+is not specified, it defaults to
+.Cm any .
+The default is
+.Cm any:any .
+.It Cm UpdateHostKeys
+Specifies whether
+.Xr ssh 1
+should accept notifications of additional hostkeys from the server sent
+after authentication has completed and add them to
+.Cm UserKnownHostsFile .
+The argument must be
+.Cm yes ,
+.Cm no
+(the default) or
+.Cm ask .
+Enabling this option allows learning alternate hostkeys for a server
+and supports graceful key rotation by allowing a server to send replacement
+public keys before old ones are removed.
+Additional hostkeys are only accepted if the key used to authenticate the
+host was already trusted or explicitly accepted by the user.
+If
+.Cm UpdateHostKeys
+is set to
+.Cm ask ,
+then the user is asked to confirm the modifications to the known_hosts file.
+Confirmation is currently incompatible with
+.Cm ControlPersist ,
+and will be disabled if it is enabled.
+.Pp
+Presently, only
+.Xr sshd 8
+from OpenSSH 6.8 and greater support the
+.Qq hostkeys@openssh.com
+protocol extension used to inform the client of all the server's hostkeys.
+.It Cm 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.
+.It Cm UserKnownHostsFile
+Specifies one or more files to use for the user
+host key database, separated by whitespace.
+The default is
+.Pa ~/.ssh/known_hosts ,
+.Pa ~/.ssh/known_hosts2 .
+.It Cm VerifyHostKeyDNS
+Specifies whether to verify the remote key using DNS and SSHFP resource
+records.
+If this option is set to
+.Cm 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
+.Cm ask .
+If this option is set to
+.Cm ask ,
+information on fingerprint match will be displayed, but the user will still
+need to confirm new host keys according to the
+.Cm StrictHostKeyChecking
+option.
+The default is
+.Cm no .
+.Pp
+See also
+.Sx VERIFYING HOST KEYS
+in
+.Xr ssh 1 .
+.It Cm VisualHostKey
+If this flag is set to
+.Cm yes ,
+an ASCII art representation of the remote host key fingerprint is
+printed in addition to the fingerprint string at login and
+for unknown host keys.
+If this flag is set to
+.Cm no
+(the default),
+no fingerprint strings are printed at login and
+only the fingerprint string will be printed for unknown host keys.
+.It Cm XAuthLocation
+Specifies the full pathname of the
+.Xr xauth 1
+program.
+The default is
+.Pa /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth .
+.El
+.Sh PATTERNS
+A
+.Em pattern
+consists of zero or more non-whitespace characters,
+.Sq *
+(a wildcard that matches zero or more characters),
+or
+.Sq ?\&
+(a wildcard that matches exactly one character).
+For example, to specify a set of declarations for any host in the
+.Qq .co.uk
+set of domains,
+the following pattern could be used:
+.Pp
+.Dl Host *.co.uk
+.Pp
+The following pattern
+would match any host in the 192.168.0.[0-9] network range:
+.Pp
+.Dl Host 192.168.0.?
+.Pp
+A
+.Em pattern-list
+is a comma-separated list of patterns.
+Patterns within pattern-lists may be negated
+by preceding them with an exclamation mark
+.Pq Sq !\& .
+For example,
+to allow a key to be used from anywhere within an organization
+except from the
+.Qq dialup
+pool,
+the following entry (in authorized_keys) could be used:
+.Pp
+.Dl from=\&"!*.dialup.example.com,*.example.com\&"
+.Pp
+Note that a negated match will never produce a positive result by itself.
+For example, attempting to match
+.Qq host3
+against the following pattern-list will fail:
+.Pp
+.Dl from=\&"!host1,!host2\&"
+.Pp
+The solution here is to include a term that will yield a positive match,
+such as a wildcard:
+.Pp
+.Dl from=\&"!host1,!host2,*\&"
