14DESCRIPTION
15     ssh (SSH client) is a program for logging into a remote machine and for
16     executing commands on a remote machine.  It is intended to replace rlogin
17     and rsh, and provide secure encrypted communications between two
18     untrusted hosts over an insecure network.  X11 connections and arbitrary
19     TCP/IP ports can also be forwarded over the secure channel.
20
21     ssh connects and logs into the specified hostname.  The user must prove
22     his/her identity to the remote machine using one of several methods
23     depending on the protocol version used:
24
25   SSH protocol version 1
26
27     First, if the machine the user logs in from is listed in /etc/hosts.equiv
28     or /etc/shosts.equiv on the remote machine, and the user names are the
29     same on both sides, the user is immediately permitted to log in.  Second,
30     if .rhosts or .shosts exists in the user's home directory on the remote
31     machine and contains a line containing the name of the client machine and
32     the name of the user on that machine, the user is permitted to log in.
33     This form of authentication alone is normally not allowed by the server
34     because it is not secure.
35
36     The second authentication method is the rhosts or hosts.equiv method comM--
37     bined with RSA-based host authentication.  It means that if the login
38     would be permitted by $HOME/.rhosts, $HOME/.shosts, /etc/hosts.equiv, or
39     /etc/shosts.equiv, and if additionally the server can verify the client's
40     host key (see /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts and $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts in the
41     FILES section), only then login is permitted.  This authentication method
42     closes security holes due to IP spoofing, DNS spoofing and routing spoofM--
43     ing.  [Note to the administrator: /etc/hosts.equiv, $HOME/.rhosts, and
44     the rlogin/rsh protocol in general, are inherently insecure and should be
45     disabled if security is desired.]
46
47     As a third authentication method, ssh supports RSA based authentication.
48     The scheme is based on public-key cryptography: there are cryptosystems
49     where encryption and decryption are done using separate keys, and it is
50     not possible to derive the decryption key from the encryption key.  RSA
51     is one such system.  The idea is that each user creates a public/private
52     key pair for authentication purposes.  The server knows the public key,
53     and only the user knows the private key.  The file
54     $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys lists the public keys that are permitted for
55     logging in.  When the user logs in, the ssh program tells the server
56     which key pair it would like to use for authentication.  The server
57     checks if this key is permitted, and if so, sends the user (actually the
58     ssh program running on behalf of the user) a challenge, a random number,
59     encrypted by the user's public key.  The challenge can only be decrypted
60     using the proper private key.  The user's client then decrypts the chalM--
61     lenge using the private key, proving that he/she knows the private key
62     but without disclosing it to the server.
63
64     ssh implements the RSA authentication protocol automatically.  The user
65     creates his/her RSA key pair by running ssh-keygen(1).  This stores the
66     private key in $HOME/.ssh/identity and the public key in
67     $HOME/.ssh/identity.pub in the user's home directory.  The user should
68     then copy the identity.pub to $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys in his/her home
69     directory on the remote machine (the authorized_keys file corresponds to
70     the conventional $HOME/.rhosts file, and has one key per line, though the
71     lines can be very long).  After this, the user can log in without giving
72     the password.  RSA authentication is much more secure than rhosts authenM--
73     tication.
74
75     The most convenient way to use RSA authentication may be with an authenM--
76     tication agent.  See ssh-agent(1) for more information.
77
78     If other authentication methods fail, ssh prompts the user for a passM--
79     word.  The password is sent to the remote host for checking; however,
80     since all communications are encrypted, the password cannot be seen by
81     someone listening on the network.
82
83   SSH protocol version 2
84
85     When a user connects using protocol version 2 similar authentication
86     methods are available.  Using the default values for
87     PreferredAuthentications, the client will try to authenticate first using
88     the hostbased method; if this method fails public key authentication is
89     attempted, and finally if this method fails keyboard-interactive and
90     password authentication are tried.
91
92     The public key method is similar to RSA authentication described in the
93     previous section and allows the RSA or DSA algorithm to be used: The
94     client uses his private key, $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa or $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa, to
95     sign the session identifier and sends the result to the server.  The
96     server checks whether the matching public key is listed in
97     $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys and grants access if both the key is found and
98     the signature is correct.  The session identifier is derived from a
99     shared Diffie-Hellman value and is only known to the client and the
100     server.
101
102     If public key authentication fails or is not available a password can be
103     sent encrypted to the remote host for proving the user's identity.
104
105     Additionally, ssh supports hostbased or challenge response authenticaM--
106     tion.
107
108     Protocol 2 provides additional mechanisms for confidentiality (the trafM--
109     fic is encrypted using 3DES, Blowfish, CAST128 or Arcfour) and integrity
110     (hmac-md5, hmac-sha1).  Note that protocol 1 lacks a strong mechanism for
111     ensuring the integrity of the connection.
112
113   Login session and remote execution
114
115     When the user's identity has been accepted by the server, the server
116     either executes the given command, or logs into the machine and gives the
117     user a normal shell on the remote machine.  All communication with the
118     remote command or shell will be automatically encrypted.
119
120     If a pseudo-terminal has been allocated (normal login session), the user
121     may use the escape characters noted below.
122
123     If no pseudo tty has been allocated, the session is transparent and can
124     be used to reliably transfer binary data.  On most systems, setting the
125     escape character to ``none'' will also make the session transparent even
126     if a tty is used.
127
128     The session terminates when the command or shell on the remote machine
129     exits and all X11 and TCP/IP connections have been closed.  The exit staM--
130     tus of the remote program is returned as the exit status of ssh.
131
132   Escape Characters
133
134     When a pseudo terminal has been requested, ssh supports a number of funcM--
135     tions through the use of an escape character.
136
137     A single tilde character can be sent as ~~ or by following the tilde by a
138     character other than those described below.  The escape character must
139     always follow a newline to be interpreted as special.  The escape characM--
140     ter can be changed in configuration files using the EscapeChar configuraM--
141     tion directive or on the command line by the -e option.
142
143     The supported escapes (assuming the default `~') are:
144
145     ~.      Disconnect
146
147     ~^Z     Background ssh
148
149     ~#      List forwarded connections
150
151     ~&      Background ssh at logout when waiting for forwarded connection /
152             X11 sessions to terminate
153
154     ~?      Display a list of escape characters
155
156     ~C      Open command line (only useful for adding port forwardings using
157             the -L and -R options)
158
159     ~R      Request rekeying of the connection (only useful for SSH protocol
160             version 2 and if the peer supports it)
161
162   X11 and TCP forwarding
163
164     If the ForwardX11 variable is set to ``yes'' (or, see the description of
165     the -X and -x options described later) and the user is using X11 (the
166     DISPLAY environment variable is set), the connection to the X11 display
167     is automatically forwarded to the remote side in such a way that any X11
168     programs started from the shell (or command) will go through the
169     encrypted channel, and the connection to the real X server will be made
170     from the local machine.  The user should not manually set DISPLAY.  ForM--
171     warding of X11 connections can be configured on the command line or in
172     configuration files.
173
174     The DISPLAY value set by ssh will point to the server machine, but with a
175     display number greater than zero.  This is normal, and happens because
176     ssh creates a ``proxy'' X server on the server machine for forwarding the
177     connections over the encrypted channel.
178
179     ssh will also automatically set up Xauthority data on the server machine.
180     For this purpose, it will generate a random authorization cookie, store
181     it in Xauthority on the server, and verify that any forwarded connections
182     carry this cookie and replace it by the real cookie when the connection
183     is opened.  The real authentication cookie is never sent to the server
184     machine (and no cookies are sent in the plain).
185
186     If the ForwardAgent variable is set to ``yes'' (or, see the description
187     of the -A and -a options described later) and the user is using an
188     authentication agent, the connection to the agent is automatically forM--
189     warded to the remote side.
190
191     Forwarding of arbitrary TCP/IP connections over the secure channel can be
192     specified either on the command line or in a configuration file.  One
193     possible application of TCP/IP forwarding is a secure connection to an
194     electronic purse; another is going through firewalls.
195
196   Server authentication
197
198     ssh automatically maintains and checks a database containing identificaM--
199     tions for all hosts it has ever been used with.  Host keys are stored in
200     $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts in the user's home directory.  Additionally, the
201     file /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts is automatically checked for known hosts.
202     Any new hosts are automatically added to the user's file.  If a host's
203     identification ever changes, ssh warns about this and disables password
204     authentication to prevent a trojan horse from getting the user's passM--
205     word.  Another purpose of this mechanism is to prevent man-in-the-middle
206     attacks which could otherwise be used to circumvent the encryption.  The
207     StrictHostKeyChecking option can be used to prevent logins to machines
208     whose host key is not known or has changed.
209
210     The options are as follows:
211
212     -a      Disables forwarding of the authentication agent connection.
213
214     -A      Enables forwarding of the authentication agent connection.  This
215             can also be specified on a per-host basis in a configuration
216             file.
217
218             Agent forwarding should be enabled with caution.  Users with the
219             ability to bypass file permissions on the remote host (for the
220             agent's Unix-domain socket) can access the local agent through
221             the forwarded connection.  An attacker cannot obtain key material
222             from the agent, however they can perform operations on the keys
223             that enable them to authenticate using the identities loaded into
224             the agent.
225
226     -b bind_address
227             Specify the interface to transmit from on machines with multiple
228             interfaces or aliased addresses.
229
230     -c blowfish|3des|des
231             Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the session.  3des is
232             used by default.  It is believed to be secure.  3des (triple-des)
233             is an encrypt-decrypt-encrypt triple with three different keys.
234             blowfish is a fast block cipher, it appears very secure and is
235             much faster than 3des.  des is only supported in the ssh client
236             for interoperability with legacy protocol 1 implementations that
237             do not support the 3des cipher.  Its use is strongly discouraged
238             due to cryptographic weaknesses.
239
240     -c cipher_spec
241             Additionally, for protocol version 2 a comma-separated list of
242             ciphers can be specified in order of preference.  See Ciphers for
243             more information.
244
245     -e ch|^ch|none
246             Sets the escape character for sessions with a pty (default: `~').
247             The escape character is only recognized at the beginning of a
248             line.  The escape character followed by a dot (`.') closes the
249             connection, followed by control-Z suspends the connection, and
250             followed by itself sends the escape character once.  Setting the
251             character to ``none'' disables any escapes and makes the session
252             fully transparent.
253
254     -f      Requests ssh to go to background just before command execution.
255             This is useful if ssh is going to ask for passwords or
256             passphrases, but the user wants it in the background.  This
257             implies -n.  The recommended way to start X11 programs at a
258             remote site is with something like ssh -f host xterm.
259
260     -g      Allows remote hosts to connect to local forwarded ports.
261
262     -i identity_file
263             Selects a file from which the identity (private key) for RSA or
264             DSA authentication is read.  The default is $HOME/.ssh/identity
265             for protocol version 1, and $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa and
266             $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa for protocol version 2.  Identity files may
267             also be specified on a per-host basis in the configuration file.
268             It is possible to have multiple -i options (and multiple identiM--
269             ties specified in configuration files).
270
271     -I smartcard_device
272             Specifies which smartcard device to use. The argument is the
273             device ssh should use to communicate with a smartcard used for
274             storing the user's private RSA key.
275
276     -k      Disables forwarding of Kerberos tickets and AFS tokens.  This may
277             also be specified on a per-host basis in the configuration file.
278
279     -l login_name
280             Specifies the user to log in as on the remote machine.  This also
281             may be specified on a per-host basis in the configuration file.
282
283     -m mac_spec
284             Additionally, for protocol version 2 a comma-separated list of
285             MAC (message authentication code) algorithms can be specified in
286             order of preference.  See the MACs keyword for more information.
287
288     -n      Redirects stdin from /dev/null (actually, prevents reading from
289             stdin).  This must be used when ssh is run in the background.  A
290             common trick is to use this to run X11 programs on a remote
291             machine.  For example, ssh -n shadows.cs.hut.fi emacs & will
292             start an emacs on shadows.cs.hut.fi, and the X11 connection will
293             be automatically forwarded over an encrypted channel.  The ssh
294             program will be put in the background.  (This does not work if
295             ssh needs to ask for a password or passphrase; see also the -f
296             option.)
297
298     -N      Do not execute a remote command.  This is useful for just forM--
299             warding ports (protocol version 2 only).
300
301     -o option
302             Can be used to give options in the format used in the configuraM--
303             tion file.  This is useful for specifying options for which there
304             is no separate command-line flag.
305
306     -p port
307             Port to connect to on the remote host.  This can be specified on
308             a per-host basis in the configuration file.
309
310     -q      Quiet mode.  Causes all warning and diagnostic messages to be
311             suppressed.
312
313     -s      May be used to request invocation of a subsystem on the remote
314             system. Subsystems are a feature of the SSH2 protocol which
315             facilitate the use of SSH as a secure transport for other appliM--
316             cations (eg. sftp). The subsystem is specified as the remote comM--
317             mand.
318
319     -t      Force pseudo-tty allocation.  This can be used to execute arbiM--
320             trary screen-based programs on a remote machine, which can be
321             very useful, e.g., when implementing menu services.  Multiple -t
322             options force tty allocation, even if ssh has no local tty.
323
324     -T      Disable pseudo-tty allocation.
325
326     -v      Verbose mode.  Causes ssh to print debugging messages about its
327             progress.  This is helpful in debugging connection, authenticaM--
328             tion, and configuration problems.  Multiple -v options increases
329             the verbosity.  Maximum is 3.
330
331     -x      Disables X11 forwarding.
332
333     -X      Enables X11 forwarding.  This can also be specified on a per-host
334             basis in a configuration file.
335
336             X11 forwarding should be enabled with caution.  Users with the
337             ability to bypass file permissions on the remote host (for the
338             user's X authorization database) can access the local X11 display
339             through the forwarded connection.  An attacker may then be able
340             to perform activities such as keystroke monitoring.
341
342     -C      Requests compression of all data (including stdin, stdout,
343             stderr, and data for forwarded X11 and TCP/IP connections).  The
344             compression algorithm is the same used by gzip(1), and the
345             ``level'' can be controlled by the CompressionLevel option for
346             protocol version 1.  Compression is desirable on modem lines and
347             other slow connections, but will only slow down things on fast
348             networks.  The default value can be set on a host-by-host basis
349             in the configuration files; see the Compression option.
350
351     -F configfile
352             Specifies an alternative per-user configuration file.  If a conM--
353             figuration file is given on the command line, the system-wide
354             configuration file (/etc/ssh/ssh_config) will be ignored.  The
355             default for the per-user configuration file is $HOME/.ssh/config.
356
357     -L port:host:hostport
358             Specifies that the given port on the local (client) host is to be
359             forwarded to the given host and port on the remote side.  This
360             works by allocating a socket to listen to port on the local side,
361             and whenever a connection is made to this port, the connection is
362             forwarded over the secure channel, and a connection is made to
363             host port hostport from the remote machine.  Port forwardings can
364             also be specified in the configuration file.  Only root can forM--
365             ward privileged ports.  IPv6 addresses can be specified with an
366             alternative syntax: port/host/hostport
367
368     -R port:host:hostport
369             Specifies that the given port on the remote (server) host is to
370             be forwarded to the given host and port on the local side.  This
371             works by allocating a socket to listen to port on the remote
372             side, and whenever a connection is made to this port, the connecM--
373             tion is forwarded over the secure channel, and a connection is
374             made to host port hostport from the local machine.  Port forwardM--
375             ings can also be specified in the configuration file.  Privileged
376             ports can be forwarded only when logging in as root on the remote
377             machine.  IPv6 addresses can be specified with an alternative
378             syntax: port/host/hostport
379
380     -D port
381             Specifies a local ``dynamic'' application-level port forwarding.
382             This works by allocating a socket to listen to port on the local
383             side, and whenever a connection is made to this port, the connecM--
384             tion is forwarded over the secure channel, and the application
385             protocol is then used to determine where to connect to from the
386             remote machine.  Currently the SOCKS4 protocol is supported, and
387             ssh will act as a SOCKS4 server.  Only root can forward priviM--
388             leged ports.  Dynamic port forwardings can also be specified in
389             the configuration file.
390
391     -1      Forces ssh to try protocol version 1 only.
392
393     -2      Forces ssh to try protocol version 2 only.
394
395     -4      Forces ssh to use IPv4 addresses only.
396
397     -6      Forces ssh to use IPv6 addresses only.
398
399CONFIGURATION FILES
400     ssh may additionally obtain configuration data from a per-user configuraM--
401     tion file and a system-wide configuration file.  The file format and conM--
402     figuration options are described in ssh_config(5).
403
404ENVIRONMENT
405     ssh will normally set the following environment variables:
406
407     DISPLAY
408             The DISPLAY variable indicates the location of the X11 server.
409             It is automatically set by ssh to point to a value of the form
410             ``hostname:n'' where hostname indicates the host where the shell
411             runs, and n is an integer >= 1.  ssh uses this special value to
412             forward X11 connections over the secure channel.  The user should
413             normally not set DISPLAY explicitly, as that will render the X11
414             connection insecure (and will require the user to manually copy
415             any required authorization cookies).
416
417     HOME    Set to the path of the user's home directory.
418
419     LOGNAME
420             Synonym for USER; set for compatibility with systems that use
421             this variable.
422
423     MAIL    Set to the path of the user's mailbox.
424
425     PATH    Set to the default PATH, as specified when compiling ssh.
426
427     SSH_ASKPASS
428             If ssh needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase from the
429             current terminal if it was run from a terminal.  If ssh does not
430             have a terminal associated with it but DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS
431             are set, it will execute the program specified by SSH_ASKPASS and
432             open an X11 window to read the passphrase.  This is particularly
433             useful when calling ssh from a .Xsession or related script.
434             (Note that on some machines it may be necessary to redirect the
435             input from /dev/null to make this work.)
436
437     SSH_AUTH_SOCK
438             Identifies the path of a unix-domain socket used to communicate
439             with the agent.
440
441     SSH_CONNECTION
442             Identifies the client and server ends of the connection.  The
443             variable contains four space-separated values: client ip-address,
444             client port number, server ip-address and server port number.
445
446     SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND
447             The variable contains the original command line if a forced comM--
448             mand is executed.  It can be used to extract the original arguM--
449             ments.
450
451     SSH_TTY
452             This is set to the name of the tty (path to the device) associM--
453             ated with the current shell or command.  If the current session
454             has no tty, this variable is not set.
455
456     TZ      The timezone variable is set to indicate the present timezone if
457             it was set when the daemon was started (i.e., the daemon passes
458             the value on to new connections).
459
460     USER    Set to the name of the user logging in.
461
462     Additionally, ssh reads $HOME/.ssh/environment, and adds lines of the
463     format ``VARNAME=value'' to the environment if the file exists and if
464     users are allowed to change their environment.  See the
465     PermitUserEnvironment option in sshd_config(5).
466
467FILES
468     $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts
469             Records host keys for all hosts the user has logged into that are
470             not in /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts.  See sshd(8).
471
472     $HOME/.ssh/identity, $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa, $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa
473             Contains the authentication identity of the user.  They are for
474             protocol 1 RSA, protocol 2 DSA, and protocol 2 RSA, respectively.
475             These files contain sensitive data and should be readable by the
476             user but not accessible by others (read/write/execute).  Note
477             that ssh ignores a private key file if it is accessible by othM--
478             ers.  It is possible to specify a passphrase when generating the
479             key; the passphrase will be used to encrypt the sensitive part of
480             this file using 3DES.
481
482     $HOME/.ssh/identity.pub, $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa.pub, $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
483             Contains the public key for authentication (public part of the
484             identity file in human-readable form).  The contents of the
485             $HOME/.ssh/identity.pub file should be added to
486             $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys on all machines where the user wishes
487             to log in using protocol version 1 RSA authentication.  The conM--
488             tents of the $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa.pub and $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub file
489             should be added to $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys on all machines
490             where the user wishes to log in using protocol version 2 DSA/RSA
491             authentication.  These files are not sensitive and can (but need
492             not) be readable by anyone.  These files are never used automatiM--
493             cally and are not necessary; they are only provided for the conM--
494             venience of the user.
495
496     $HOME/.ssh/config
497             This is the per-user configuration file.  The file format and
498             configuration options are described in ssh_config(5).
499
500     $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
501             Lists the public keys (RSA/DSA) that can be used for logging in
502             as this user.  The format of this file is described in the
503             sshd(8) manual page.  In the simplest form the format is the same
504             as the .pub identity files.  This file is not highly sensitive,
505             but the recommended permissions are read/write for the user, and
506             not accessible by others.
507
508     /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
509             Systemwide list of known host keys.  This file should be prepared
510             by the system administrator to contain the public host keys of
511             all machines in the organization.  This file should be world-
512             readable.  This file contains public keys, one per line, in the
513             following format (fields separated by spaces): system name, pubM--
514             lic key and optional comment field.  When different names are
515             used for the same machine, all such names should be listed, sepaM--
516             rated by commas.  The format is described on the sshd(8) manual
517             page.
518
519             The canonical system name (as returned by name servers) is used
520             by sshd(8) to verify the client host when logging in; other names
521             are needed because ssh does not convert the user-supplied name to
522             a canonical name before checking the key, because someone with
523             access to the name servers would then be able to fool host
524             authentication.
525
526     /etc/ssh/ssh_config
527             Systemwide configuration file.  The file format and configuration
528             options are described in ssh_config(5).
529
530     /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key, /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key,
531             /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
532             These three files contain the private parts of the host keys and
533             are used for RhostsRSAAuthentication and HostbasedAuthentication.
534             If the protocol version 1 RhostsRSAAuthentication method is used,
535             ssh must be setuid root, since the host key is readable only by
536             root.  For protocol version 2, ssh uses ssh-keysign(8) to access
537             the host keys for HostbasedAuthentication.  This eliminates the
538             requirement that ssh be setuid root when that authentication
539             method is used.  By default ssh is not setuid root.
540
541     $HOME/.rhosts
542             This file is used in .rhosts authentication to list the host/user
543             pairs that are permitted to log in.  (Note that this file is also
544             used by rlogin and rsh, which makes using this file insecure.)
545             Each line of the file contains a host name (in the canonical form
546             returned by name servers), and then a user name on that host,
547             separated by a space.  On some machines this file may need to be
548             world-readable if the user's home directory is on a NFS partiM--
549             tion, because sshd(8) reads it as root.  Additionally, this file
550             must be owned by the user, and must not have write permissions
551             for anyone else.  The recommended permission for most machines is
552             read/write for the user, and not accessible by others.
553
554             Note that by default sshd(8) will be installed so that it
555             requires successful RSA host authentication before permitting
556             .rhosts authentication.  If the server machine does not have the
557             client's host key in /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts, it can be stored
558             in $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts.  The easiest way to do this is to conM--
559             nect back to the client from the server machine using ssh; this
560             will automatically add the host key to $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts.
561
562     $HOME/.shosts
563             This file is used exactly the same way as .rhosts.  The purpose
564             for having this file is to be able to use rhosts authentication
565             with ssh without permitting login with rlogin or rsh(1).
566
567     /etc/hosts.equiv
568             This file is used during .rhosts authentication. It contains
569             canonical hosts names, one per line (the full format is described
570             on the sshd(8) manual page).  If the client host is found in this
571             file, login is automatically permitted provided client and server
572             user names are the same.  Additionally, successful RSA host
573             authentication is normally required.  This file should only be
574             writable by root.
575
576     /etc/shosts.equiv
577             This file is processed exactly as /etc/hosts.equiv.  This file
578             may be useful to permit logins using ssh but not using
579             rsh/rlogin.
580
581     /etc/ssh/sshrc
582             Commands in this file are executed by ssh when the user logs in
583             just before the user's shell (or command) is started.  See the
584             sshd(8) manual page for more information.
585
586     $HOME/.ssh/rc
587             Commands in this file are executed by ssh when the user logs in
588             just before the user's shell (or command) is started.  See the
589             sshd(8) manual page for more information.
590
591     $HOME/.ssh/environment
592             Contains additional definitions for environment variables, see
593             section ENVIRONMENT above.
594
595DIAGNOSTICS
596     ssh exits with the exit status of the remote command or with 255 if an
597     error occurred.
