conch

<h2>SYNOPSIS<a name="auto1"/></h2>

conch [-AaCfINnrsTtVvx][-c cipher_spec][-e escape_char][-i identity_file][-K connection_spec][-L port: host: hostport][-l user][-m mac_spec][-o openssh_option][-p port][-R port: host: hostport][ user@] hostname[ command]

<h2>DESCRIPTION<a name="auto2"/></h2>

conch is a SSHv2 client for logging into a remote machine and executing commands. It provides encrypted and secure communications across a possibly insecure network. Arbitrary TCP/IP ports can also be forwarded over the secure connection.

conch connects and logs into

hostname(as

useror the current username). The user must prove her/his identity through a public-key or a password. Alternatively, if a connection is already open to a server, a new shell can be opened over the connection without having to reauthenticate.

If

commandis specified,

commandis executed instead of a shell. If the

-soption is given,

commandis treated as an SSHv2 subsystem name.

Conch supports the public-key, keyboard-interactive, and password authentications.

The public-key method allows the RSA or DSA algorithm to be used. The client uses his/her private key,

to sign the session identifier, known only by the client and server. The server checks that the matching public key is valid for the user, and that the signature is correct.

If public-key authentication fails,

conch can authenticate by sending an encrypted password over the connection.

conch has the ability to multiplex multiple shells, commands and TCP/IP ports over the same secure connection. To disable multiplexing for a connection, use the

-Iflag.

The

-Koption determines how the client connects to the remote host. It is a comma-separated list of the methods to use, in order of preference. The two connection methods are

(for connecting over a multiplexed connection) and

(to connect directly).

To disable connecting over a multiplexed connection, do not include

in the preference list.

As an example of how connection sharing works, to speed up CVS over SSH:

conch --noshell --fork -l cvs_user cvs_host

set CVS_RSH=conch

Now, when CVS connects to cvs_host as cvs_user, instead of making a new connection to the server,

conch will add a new channel to the existing connection. This saves the cost of repeatedly negotiating the cryptography and authentication.

The options are as follows:

<dl><dt>-A</dt><dd>Enables authentication agent forwarding.

</dd><dt>-a</dt><dd>Disables authentication agent forwarding (default).

</dd><dt>-C</dt><dd>Enable compression.

</dd><dt>-c</dt><dd> cipher_specSelects encryption algorithms to be used for this connection, as a comma-separated list of ciphers in order of preference. The list that

conch supports is (in order of default preference): aes256-ctr, aes256-cbc, aes192-ctr, aes192-cbc, aes128-ctr, aes128-cbc, cast128-ctr, cast128-cbc, blowfish-ctr, blowfish, idea-ctr, idea-cbc, 3des-ctr, 3des-cbc.

</dd><dt>-e</dt><dd> ch| ^ch | noneSets the escape character for sessions with a PTY (default:

The escape character is only recognized at the beginning of a line (after a newline).

The escape character followed by a dot

closes the connection;

followed by ^Z suspends the connection;

and followed by the escape character sends the escape character once.

Setting the character to

disables any escapes.

</dd><dt>-f</dt><dd>Fork to background after authentication.

</dd><dt>-I</dt><dd>Do not allow connection sharing over this connection.

</dd><dt>-i</dt><dd> identity_specThe file from which the identity (private key) for RSA or DSA authentication is read.

The defaults are

and

It is possible to use this option more than once to use more than one private key.

</dd><dt>-K</dt><dd> connection_specSelects methods for connection to the server, as a comma-separated list of methods in order of preference. See

for more information.

</dd><dt>-L</dt><dd> port: host : hostportSpecifies that the given port on the client host is to be forwarded to the given host and port on the remote side. This allocates a socket to listen to

porton the local side, and when connections are made to that socket, they are forwarded over the secure channel and a connection is made to

hostport

hostportfrom the remote machine.

Only root can forward privieged ports.

</dd><dt>-l</dt><dd> userLog in using this username.

</dd><dt>-m</dt><dd> mac_specSelects MAC (message authentication code) algorithms, as a comma-separated list in order of preference. The list that

conch supports is (in order of preference): hmac-sha1, hmac-md5.

100

</dd><dt>-N</dt><dd>Do not execute a shell or command.

101

</dd><dt>-n</dt><dd>Redirect input from /dev/null.

102

</dd><dt>-o</dt><dd> openssh_optionIgnored OpenSSH options.

103

</dd><dt>-p</dt><dd> portThe port to connect to on the server.

104

</dd><dt>-R</dt><dd> port: host : hostportSpecifies that the given port on the remote host is to be forwarded to the given host and port on the local side. This allocates a socket to listen to

105

porton the remote side, and when connections are made to that socket, they are forwarded over the secure channel and a connection is made to
