System Administration Commands - Part 3

ssh-keysign

- ssh helper program for host-based authentication

Synopsis

ssh-keysign 

Description

ssh-keysign is used by ssh(1) to access the local host keys and generate the digital signature required during host-based authentication with SSH protocol version 2. This signature is of data that includes, among other items, the name of the client host and the name of the client user.

ssh-keysign is disabled by default and can be enabled only in the global client configuration file /etc/ssh/ssh_config by setting HostbasedAuthentication to yes.

ssh-keysign is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from ssh. See ssh(1) and sshd(1M) for more information about host-based authentication.

Files

/etc/ssh/ssh_config

Controls whether ssh-keysign is enabled.

/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. Because they are readable only by root, ssh-keysign must be set-uid root if host-based authentication is used.

Security

ssh-keysign will not sign host-based authentication data under the following conditions:

In spite of ssh-keysign's restrictions on the contents of the host-based authentication data, there remains the ability of users to use it as an avenue for obtaining the client's private host keys. For this reason host-based authentication is turned off by default.
