HP-UX Secure Shell Getting Started Guide

ask

HP-UX Secure Shell listens for control connections, but it requires confirmation using the

SSH_ASKPASS program before these connections are accepted. For more information, see

ssh-add(1).

The default setting is no.

For example:

ControlMaster no

ControlPath

Use this directive to specify the path to the control socket used for connection sharing. To disable

connection sharing, set ControlPath to none. The following substitutions occur for the

ControlPath value:

Specifies the target host name.

Specifies the port.

Specifies the remote login user name.

The default value is null.

For example:

ControlPath /tmp/socket_control

NOTE: HP recommends including all substitutions for connection sharing. This ensures that

shared connections are uniquely identified.

DynamicForward

Use this directive to specify the TCP/IP port on the local system to be forwarded over the secure

channel, and the application protocol to be used. The value for this directive must be a port

number. The SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 protocols are supported, where HP-UX Secure Shell acts as

a SOCKS server. You can specify multiple forwarding and add additional forwardings on the

command line.

NOTE: Only a superuser can forward privileged ports.

DynamicForward does not have a default value.

For example:

DynamicForward 8888

EnableSSHkeysign

Use this directive to enable the use of the ssh-keysign(8) helper program during host-based

authentication. This option must be placed in the non-host specific section. For more information,

see the ssh-keysign(8).

The default setting is no.

For example:

EnableSSHkeysign no

EscapeChar

Use this directive to set the escape character. You can also set the escape character on the command

line.

The default value is ~.

For example:

EscapeChar ~
