English Actions
indexterm:[OpenSSH,server,stopping] To stop the running [command]#sshd# daemon in the current session, use the following command as `root`:
~]#{nbsp}systemctl stop sshd.service
If you want the daemon to start automatically at the boot time, type as `root`:
~]#{nbsp}systemctl enable sshd.service
ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/sshd.service' '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/sshd.service'
See xref:infrastructure-services/Services_and_Daemons.adoc#ch-Services_and_Daemons[Services and Daemons] for more information on how to configure services in {MAJOROS}.
Note that if you reinstall the system, a new set of identification keys will be created. As a result, clients who had connected to the system with any of the OpenSSH tools before the reinstall will see the following message:
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed.
To prevent this, you can backup the relevant files from the `/etc/ssh/` directory (see xref:OpenSSH.adoc#table-ssh-configuration-configs-system[System-wide configuration files] for a complete list), and restore them whenever you reinstall the system.
Requiring SSH for Remote Connections
indexterm:[SSH protocol,insecure protocols]indexterm:[SSH protocol,requiring for remote login] For SSH to be truly effective, using insecure connection protocols should be prohibited. Otherwise, a user's password may be protected using SSH for one session, only to be captured later while logging in using Telnet. Some services to disable include [command]#telnet#, [command]#rsh#, [command]#rlogin#, and [command]#vsftpd#.
These services are not installed by default in {MAJOROS}. If required, to make sure these services are not running, type the following commands at a shell prompt:
[command]#systemctl stop telnet.service#
[command]#systemctl stop rsh.service#
[command]#systemctl stop rlogin.service#
[command]#systemctl stop vsftpd.service#
To disable running these services at startup, type:
[command]#systemctl disable telnet.service#
[command]#systemctl disable rsh.service#
[command]#systemctl disable rlogin.service#
[command]#systemctl disable vsftpd.service#
Using Key-based Authentication
indexterm:[OpenSSH,using key-based authentication] To improve the system security even further, generate SSH key pairs and then enforce key-based authentication by disabling password authentication. To do so, open the `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` configuration file in a text editor such as [application]*vi* or [application]*nano*, and change the [option]`PasswordAuthentication` option as follows:
PasswordAuthentication no
If you are working on a system other than a new default installation, check that [command]#PubkeyAuthentication no# has *not* been set. If connected remotely, not using console or out-of-band access, testing the key-based log in process before disabling password authentication is advised.
To be able to use [command]#ssh#, [command]#scp#, or [command]#sftp# to connect to the server from a client machine, generate an authorization key pair by following the steps below. Note that keys must be generated for each user separately.
{MAJOROSVER} uses SSH Protocol 2 and RSA keys by default (see xref:OpenSSH.adoc#s2-ssh-versions[Protocol Versions] for more information).
Do not generate key pairs as root
If you complete the steps as `root`, only `root` will be able to use the keys.
Backup your ~/.ssh/ directory
If you reinstall your system and want to keep previously generated key pairs, backup the `~/.ssh/` directory. After reinstalling, copy it back to your home directory. This process can be done for all users on your system, including `root`.
Generating Key Pairs
indexterm:[RSA keys,generating]indexterm:[OpenSSH,RSA keys,generating] To generate an RSA key pair for version 2 of the SSH protocol, follow these steps: indexterm:[OpenSSH,ssh-keygen,RSA]
Generate an RSA key pair by typing the following at a shell prompt:
~]${nbsp}ssh-keygen -t rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/USER/.ssh/id_rsa):
Press kbd:[Enter] to confirm the default location, `~/.ssh/id_rsa`, for the newly created key.
Enter a passphrase, and confirm it by entering it again when prompted to do so. For security reasons, avoid using the same password as you use to log in to your account.
After this, you will be presented with a message similar to this:
