.Sh NAME

|
.Nm ssh-keysign
|
|
.Nd ssh helper program for host-based authentication
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is used by
|
|
.Xr ssh 1
|
|
to access the local host keys and generate the digital signature
|
|
required during host-based authentication with SSH protocol version 2.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is disabled by default and can only be enabled in the
|
|
global client configuration file
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_config
|
|
by setting
|
|
.Cm EnableSSHKeysign
|
|
to
|
|
.Dq yes .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from
|
|
.Xr ssh 1 .
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr ssh 1
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
for more information about host-based authentication.
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_config
|
|
Controls whether
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is enabled.
|
|
.It Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key, /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
|
|
These files contain the private parts of the host keys used to
|
|
generate the digital signature.
|
|
They should be owned by root, readable only by root, and not
|
|
accessible to others.
|
|
Since they are readable only by root,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
must be set-uid root if host-based authentication is used.
|
|
.It Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key-cert.pub, /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key-cert.pub
|
|
If these files exist they are assumed to contain public certificate
|
|
information corresponding with the private keys above.
