Secure Shell (SSH) は暗号技術を利用して、安全にリモートコンピュータと通信するためのネットワークプロトコルです。暗号によってデータの機密性と完全性が保証されます。SSH は公開鍵暗号を使ってリモートコンピュータを認証し、リモートコンピュータは必要に応じてユーザーを認証します。

基本的に SSH はリモートマシンにログインしてコマンドを実行するために使われますが、トンネリングや TCP ポートや X11 接続の任意のフォワーディングをサポートしており、SFTP や SCP プロトコルを使うことでファイル転送をすることも可能です。

デフォルトでは、SSH サーバーは標準の TCP 22番ポートを使います。通常は SSH クライアントプロトコルを使って sshd デーモンの接続を確立してリモート接続を承認します。Mac OS X, GNU/Linux, Solaris, OpenVMS など近代的なオペレーティングシステムのほとんどでサーバーとクライアントの両方が備わってします。複雑なもの・完全なものまで様々なレベルのバージョンがプロプライエタリ・フリーウェア・オープンソースを問わずに存在します。

## OpenSSH

OpenSSH (OpenBSD Secure Shell) は ssh プロトコルを使ってコンピューターネットワークを介して暗号化通信セッションを提供するコンピュータープログラムのセットです。SSH Communications Security によるプロプライエタリの Secure Shell ソフトウェアスイートに代わるオープンのプログラムとして作成されました。OpenSSH は Theo de Raadt に率いられている OpenBSD プロジェクトの一環として開発されています。

同じような名前の OpenSSL と OpenSSH が混同されることがときどきありますが、プロジェクトの目的・開発チームは異なります。

### OpenSSH のインストール

公式リポジトリから openssh をインストールしてください。

### SSH の設定

#### クライアント

SSH クライアントの設定ファイルは `/etc/ssh/ssh_config` もしくは `~/.ssh/config` です。

`Protocol 2` を明示的に設定する必要はありません。デフォルトの設定ファイルではコメントアウトされています。つまり明示的に有効にされない限り `Protocol 1` は使われません。 (ソース: http://www.openssh.org/txt/release-5.4)

#### デーモン

SSH デーモンの設定ファイルは `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` です。

特定のユーザーにだけアクセスを許可するには次の行を追加してください:

    AllowUsers    user1 user2

特定のグループにだけアクセスを許可するには:

    AllowGroups   group1 group2

SSH による root ログインを無効にするには、PermitRootLogin 行を次のように変更してください:

    PermitRootLogin no

ウェルカムメッセージを追加するには `/etc/issue` ファイルを編集して Banner 行を次のように変更してください:

    Banner /etc/issue

Tip:

- You may want to change the default port from 22 to any higher port (see security through obscurity). Even though the port ssh is running on could be detected by using a port-scanner like nmap, changing it will reduce the number of log entries caused by automated authentication attempts. To help select a port review the list of TCP and UDP port numbers. You can also find port information locally in `/etc/services`. Select an alternative port that is not already assigned to a common service to prevent conflicts.
- Disabling password logins entirely will greatly increase security, see SSH Keys for more information.

### sshd デーモンの管理

次のコマンドで sshd デーモンを起動することができます:

    # systemctl start sshd

次のコマンドで ssdh デーモンを起動時に有効にすることができます:

    # systemctl enable sshd.service

systemd (日本語)#ユニットを使う を見て下さい。

Warning: Systemd は非同期にプロセスを実行します。SSH デーモンを特定の IP アドレス `ListenAddress 192.168.1.100` に結びつけている場合、デフォルトの sshd.service ユニットファイルはネットワークインターフェイスが有効にされることに依存していないため、ブート中にロードが失敗する可能性があります。IP アドレスをバインドする時は、カスタムした sshd.service ユニットファイルに `After=network.target` を追加してください。Systemd (日本語)#ユニットファイルの編集 を参照。

また SSH デーモンソケットを有効にすることで初めて接続があったときにデーモンが起動するようにすることもできます:

    # systemctl start sshd.socket
    # systemctl enable sshd.socket

デフォルトの22番以外のポートを使う場合、ユニットファイルの "ListenStream" を設定する必要があります。`/lib/systemd/system/sshd.socket` を `/etc/systemd/system/sshd.socket` にコピーして、アップグレードでユニットファイルが上書きされないようにしてください。`/etc/systemd/system/sshd.socket` を編集して "ListenStream" を適当なポートに変更します。

Warning: Using sshd.socket effectively negates the `ListenAddress` setting, so using the default sshd.socket will allow connections over any address. To achieve the effect of setting `ListenAddress`, you must create a custom unit file and modify ListenStream (ie. `ListenStream=192.168.1.100:22` is equivalent to `ListenAddress 192.168.1.100`). You must also add `FreeBind=true` under `[Socket]` or else setting the IP address will have the same drawback as setting `ListenAddress`: the socket will fail to start if the network is not up in time.

### サーバーに接続する

サーバーに接続するには、次を実行してください:

    $ ssh -p port user@server-address

### SSH の保護

管理業務のために SSH によるリモートログインを許可することは良いことですが、サーバーのセキュリティに脅威を及ぼすことにもなりえます。総当り攻撃の標的になりやすいので、SSH のアクセスは制限して、第三者がサーバーにアクセスできないようにする必要があります。

- わかりにくいアカウント名やパスワードを使う
- 信頼できる国からの SSH 接続だけを許可する
- fail2ban や sshguard をつかってブルートフォース攻撃を監視し、総当りを起こっている IP を閉め出す

##### ブルートフォースアタックからの保護

Brute forcing is a simple concept: One continuously tries to log in to a webpage or server log-in prompt like SSH with a high number of random username and password combinations. You can protect yourself from brute force attacks by using an automated script that blocks anybody trying to brute force their way in, for example fail2ban or sshguard.

Alternatively, brute force attacks can be made infeasible by forcing public key authentication, by adding the following setting to `sshd_config`:

    PasswordAuthentication no

Before effecting this setting, make sure that all accounts which require SSH access have public key authentication set up in the corresponding `authorized_keys` files.

#### root ログインを制限する

It is generally considered bad practice to allow the root user to log in without restraint over SSH. There are two methods by which SSH root access can be restricted for increased security.

##### root ログインを拒否する

Sudo selectively provides root rights for actions requiring these without requiring authenticating against the root account. This allows locking the root account against access via SSH and potentially functions as a security measure agaist brute force attacks, since now an attacker must guess the account name in additition to the password.

SSH can be configured to deny remote logins with the root user by editing the following section in `/etc/ssh/sshd_config`:

    # Authentication:

    #LoginGraceTime 2m
    #PermitRootLogin yes
    #StrictModes yes
    #MaxAuthTries 6
    #MaxSessions 10

Now simply change `#PermitRootLogin yes` to no, and uncomment the line:

    PermitRootLogin no

Next, restart the SSH daemon:

    # systemctl restart sshd

You will now be unable to log in through SSH under root, but will still be able to log in with your normal user and use su - or sudo to do system administration.

##### root ログインを禁止する

Some automated tasks such as remote, full-system backup require full root access. To allow these in a secure way, instead of disabling root login via SSH, it is possible to only allow root logins for selected commands. This can be achieved by editing `~root/.ssh/authorized_keys`, by prefixing the desired key, e.g. as follows:

    command="/usr/lib/rsync/rrsync -ro /" ssh-rsa …

This will allow any login with this specific key only to execute the command specified between the quotes.

The increased attack surface created by exposing the root user name at login can be compensated by adding the following to `sshd_config`:

    PermitRootLogin forced-commands-only

This setting will not only restrict the commands which root may execute via SSH, but it will also disable the use of passwords, forcing use of public key authentication for the root account.

A slightly less restrictive alternative will allow any command for root, but makes brute force attacks infeasible by enforcing public key authentication. For this option, set:

    PermitRootLogin without-password

## Tips and tricks

### 暗号化 SOCKS トンネル

This is highly useful for laptop users connected to various unsafe wireless connections. The only thing you need is an SSH server running at a somewhat secure location, like your home or at work. It might be useful to use a dynamic DNS service like DynDNS so you do not have to remember your IP-address.

#### 手順 1: start the connection

You only have to execute this single command to start the connection:

    $ ssh -TND 4711 user@host

where `user` is your username at the SSH server running at the `host`. It will ask for your password, and then you are connected! The `N` flag disables the interactive prompt, and the `D` flag specifies the local port on which to listen on (you can choose any port number if you want). The `T` flag disables pseudo-tty allocation.

It's nice to add the verbose `"-v"` flag, because then you can verify that it's actually connected from that output.

#### 手順 2: configure your browser (or other programs)

The above step is completely useless if you do not configure your web browser (or other programs) to use this newly created socks tunnel. Since the current version of SSH supports both SOCKS4 and SOCKS5, you can use either of them.

- For Firefox: Edit → Preferences → Advanced → Network → Connection → Setting:

  Check the Manual proxy configuration radio button, and enter `localhost` in the SOCKS host text field, and then enter your port number in the next text field (`4711` in the example above).

Firefox does not automatically make DNS requests through the socks tunnel. This potential privacy concern can be mitigated by the following steps:

1. Type about:config into the Firefox location bar.
2. Search for network.proxy.socks_remote_dns
3. Set the value to true.
4. Restart the browser.

- For Chromium: You can set the SOCKS settings as environment variables or as command line options. I recommend to add one of the following functions to your `.bashrc`:

    function secure_chromium {
        port=4711
        export SOCKS_SERVER=localhost:$port
        export SOCKS_VERSION=5
        chromium &
        exit
    }

OR

    function secure_chromium {
        port=4711
        chromium --proxy-server="socks://localhost:$port" &
        exit
    }

Now open a terminal and just do:

    $ secure_chromium

Enjoy your secure tunnel!

### X11 フォワーディング

SSH 接続を通してグラフィカルプログラムを動かすために X11 フォワーディングを有効にすることができます。サーバーとクライアント両方の設定ファイルにオプションを設定してください (ここで"クライアント"は X11 サーバーを動かす（デスクトップ）マシンであり、X アプリケーションを"サーバー"で動作させます)。

公式リポジトリの xorg-xauth をサーバーにインストールしてください。

- サーバーの `sshd_config` の `AllowTcpForwarding` オプションを有効にする。
- サーバーの `sshd_config` の `X11Forwarding` オプションを有効にする。
- サーバーの `sshd_config` の `X11DisplayOffset` オプションを 10 に設定する。
- サーバーの `sshd_config` の `X11UseLocalhost` オプションを有効にする。

また:

- クライアントの `ssh_config` の `ForwardX11` オプションを有効にする。
- gui の描写がおかしいときは `ForwardX11Trusted` を有効にする。

You need to restart the ssh daemon on the server for these changes to take effect, of course.

To use the forwarding, log on to your server through ssh:

    $ ssh -X -p port user@server-address

If you receive errors trying to run graphical applications try trusted forwarding instead:

    $ ssh -Y -p port user@server-address

You can now start any X program on the remote server, the output will be forwarded to your local session:

    $ xclock

If you get "Cannot open display" errors try the following command as the non root user:

    $ xhost +

the above command will allow anybody to forward X11 applications. To restrict forwarding to a particular host type:

    $ xhost +hostname

where hostname is the name of the particular host you want to forward to. Type "man xhost" for more details.

Be careful with some applications as they check for a running instance on the local machine. Firefox is an example. Either close running Firefox or use the following start parameter to start a remote instance on the local machine

    $ firefox -no-remote

If you get "X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0" when you connect (and the server /var/log/errors.log shows "Failed to allocate internet-domain X11 display socket"), try to either

- Enable the `AddressFamily any` option in `sshd_config` on the server, or
- Set the `AddressFamily` option in `sshd_config` on the server to inet.

Setting it to inet may fix problems with Ubuntu clients on IPv4.

For running X applications as other user on the SSH server you need to `xauth add` the authentication line taken from `xauth list` of the SSH logged in user.

### 他のポートのフォワーディング

In addition to SSH's built-in support for X11, it can also be used to securely tunnel any TCP connection, by use of local forwarding or remote forwarding.

Local forwarding opens a port on the local machine, connections to which will be forwarded to the remote host and from there on to a given destination. Very often, the forwarding destination will be the same as the remote host, thus providing a secure shell and, e.g. a secure VNC connection, to the same machine. Local forwarding is accomplished by means of the `-L` switch and it's accompanying forwarding specification in the form of `<tunnel port>:<destination address>:<destination port>`.

Thus:

    $ ssh -L 1000:mail.google.com:25 192.168.0.100

will use SSH to login to and open a shell on 192.168.0.100, and will also create a tunnel from the local machine's TCP port 1000 to mail.google.com on port 25. Once established, connections to localhost:1000 will connect to the Gmail SMTP port. To Google, it will appear that any such connection (though not necessarily the data conveyed over the connection) originated from 192.168.0.100, and such data will be secure as between the local machine and 192.168.0.100, but not between 192.168.0.100, unless other measures are taken.

Similarly:

    $ ssh -L 2000:192.168.0.100:6001 192.168.0.100

will allow connections to localhost:2000 which will be transparently sent to the remote host on port 6001. The preceding example is useful for VNC connections using the vncserver utility--part of the tightvnc package--which, though very useful, is explicit about its lack of security.

Remote forwarding allows the remote host to connect to an arbitrary host via the SSH tunnel and the local machine, providing a functional reversal of local forwarding, and is useful for situations where, e.g., the remote host has limited connectivity due to firewalling. It is enabled with the `-R` switch and a forwarding specification in the form of `<tunnel port>:<destination address>:<destination port>`.

Thus:

    $ ssh -R 3000:irc.freenode.net:6667 192.168.0.200

will bring up a shell on 192.168.0.200, and connections from 192.168.0.200 to itself on port 3000 (remotely speaking, localhost:3000) will be sent over the tunnel to the local machine and then on to irc.freenode.net on port 6667, thus, in this example, allowing the use of IRC programs on the remote host to be used, even if port 6667 would normally be blocked to it.

Both local and remote forwarding can be used to provide a secure "gateway," allowing other computers to take advantage of an SSH tunnel, without actually running SSH or the SSH daemon by providing a bind-address for the start of the tunnel as part of the forwarding specification, e.g. `<tunnel address>:<tunnel port>:<destination address>:<destination port>`. The `<tunnel address>` can be any address on the machine at the start of the tunnel, `localhost`, `*` (or blank), which, respectively, allow connections via the given address, via the loopback interface, or via any interface. By default, forwarding is limited to connections from the machine at the "beginning" of the tunnel, i.e. the `<tunnel address>` is set to `localhost`. Local forwarding requires no additional configuration, however remote forwarding is limited by the remote server's SSH daemon configuration. See the `GatewayPorts` option in `sshd_config(5)` for more information.

### SSH の高速化

You can make all sessions to the same host use a single connection, which will greatly speed up subsequent logins, by adding these lines under the proper host in `/etc/ssh/ssh_config`:

    Host examplehost.com
      ControlMaster auto
      ControlPersist yes
      ControlPath ~/.ssh/socket-%r@%h:%p

See the `ssh_config(5)` manual page for full description of these options.

Another option to improve speed is to enable compression with the `-C` flag. A permanent solution is to add this line under the proper host in `/etc/ssh/ssh_config`:

    Compression yes

Login time can be shortened by using the `-4` flag, which bypasses IPv6 lookup. This can be made permanent by adding this line under the proper host in `/etc/ssh/ssh_config`:

    AddressFamily inet

Changing the ciphers used by SSH to less cpu-demanding ones can improve speed. In this respect, the best choices are arcfour and blowfish-cbc.

Warning: Please do not do this unless you know what you are doing; arcfour has a number of known weaknesses.

To use alternative ciphers, run SSH with the `-c` flag:

    $ ssh -c arcfour,blowfish-cbc user@server-address

To use them permanently, add this line under the proper host in `/etc/ssh/ssh_config`:

    Ciphers arcfour,blowfish-cbc

### SSHFS でリモートファイルシステムをマウントする

Please refer to the Sshfs article to use sshfs to mount a remote system - accessible via SSH - to a local folder, so you will be able to do any operation on the mounted files with any tool (copy, rename, edit with vim, etc.). Using sshfs instead of shfs is generally preferred as a new version of shfs hasn't been released since 2004.

### Keep alive

一定時間操作がないと ssh セッションは自動的にログアウトします。接続を維持するには以下をクライアントの `~/.ssh/config` か `/etc/ssh/ssh_config` に追加してください:

    ServerAliveInterval 120

これで120秒ごとに "keep alive" シグナルがサーバーに送信されます。

反対に、外部からの接続を維持するには、次をサーバーの `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` に設定します (数字は0より大きく):

    ClientAliveInterval 120

### ssh の設定で接続データを保存する

Whenever you want to connect to a ssh server, you usually have to type at least its address and the username. To save that typing work for servers you regularly connect to, you can use the personal `~/.ssh/config` or the global `/etc/ssh/ssh_config` files as shown in the following example:

    ~/.ssh/config

    Host myserver
        HostName 123.123.123.123
        Port 12345
        User bob
    Host other_server
        HostName test.something.org
        User alice
        CheckHostIP no
        Cipher blowfish

Now you can simply connect to the server by using the name you specified:

    $ ssh myserver

To see a complete list of the possible options, check out ssh_config's manpage on your system or the ssh_config documentation on the official website.

### Autossh - SSH セッションとトンネルの自動再起動

When a session or tunnel cannot be kept alive due to, e.g., bad network conditions causing client disconnects, you can use Autossh to automatically restart them. Autossh can be installed from the official repositories.

Usage examples:

    $ autossh -M 0 -o "ServerAliveInterval 45" -o "ServerAliveCountMax 2" username@example.com

Combined with sshfs :

    $ sshfs -o reconnect,compression=yes,transform_symlinks,ServerAliveInterval=45,ServerAliveCountMax=2,ssh_command='autossh -M 0' username@example.com: /mnt/example

Connecting through a SOCKS-proxy set by Proxy_settings :

    $ autossh -M 0 -o "ServerAliveInterval 45" -o "ServerAliveCountMax 2" -NCD 8080 username@example.com

With the `-f` option autossh can be made to run as a background process. Running it this way however means the passprase cannot be entered interactively.

The session will end once you type `exit` in the session, or the autossh process receives a SIGTERM, SIGINT of SIGKILL signal.

#### systemd を使ってブート時に自動的に Autossh を起動する

If you want to automatically start autossh, it is now easy to get systemd to manage this for you. For example, you could create a systemd unit file like this:

    [Unit]
    Description=AutoSSH service for port 2222
    After=network.target

    [Service]
    Environment="AUTOSSH_GATETIME=0"
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/autossh -M 0 -NL 2222:localhost:2222 -o TCPKeepAlive=yes foo@bar.com

    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target

Here `AUTOSSH_GATETIME=0` is an environment variable specifying how long ssh must be up before autossh considers it a successful connection, setting it to 0 autossh also ignores the first run failure of ssh. This may be useful when running autossh at boot. Other environment variables are available on the manpage. Of course, you can make this unit more complex if necessary (see the systemd documentation for details), and obviously you can use your own options for autossh, but note that the `-f` implying `AUTOSSH_GATETIME=0` does not work with systemd.

Then place this in, for example, /etc/systemd/system/autossh.service. Afterwards, you can then enable your autossh tunnels with, e.g.:

    $ systemctl start autossh

(or whatever you called the service file)

If this works OK for you, you can make this permanent by running

    $ systemctl enable autossh

That way autossh will start automatically at boot.

It is also easy to maintain several autossh processes, to keep several tunnels alive. Just create multiple .service files with different names.

## Changing SSH port number with socket activation (sshd.socket)

Create the file `/etc/systemd/system/sshd.socket.d/port.conf` with:

    [Socket]
    # Disable default port
    ListenStream=
    # Set new port
    ListenStream=12345

systemd will automatically listen on the new port after a reload:

    systemctl daemon-reload

## トラブルシューティング

### Checklist

This is a first-steps troubleshooting checklist. It is recommended to check these issues before you look any further:

1. The client and server `~/.ssh` folder and its content should be accessible by its user:

      $ chmod 700 /home/USER/.ssh
      $ chmod 600 /home/USER/.ssh/*

2. Check that all files within client's and server's `~/.ssh` folder are owned by its user:

      $ chown -R USER: ~/.ssh

3. Check that the client's public e.g. `id_rsa.pub` key row is in the server's `authorized_keys` file.

4. Check you did not limit SSH access via `AllowUsers` in `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` (space separated).

#### Cleanup outdated keys (optional)

5. Delete old/invalid key rows in server's `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` file.

6. Delete old/invalid private and public keys within the clients `~/.ssh` folder.

#### Recommendations

7. Keep as less keys as possible in user's `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` file on the server.

### SSH connection left hanging after poweroff/reboot

SSH connection hangs after poweroff or reboot if systemd stop network before sshd. To fix that problem, comment and change the `After` statement:

    /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-user-sessions.service

    #After=remote-fs.target
    After=network.target

### Connection refused or timeout problem

#### Is your router doing port forwarding?

SKIP THIS STEP IF YOU ARE NOT BEHIND A NAT MODEM/ROUTER (eg, a VPS or otherwise publicly addressed host). Most home and small businesses will have a NAT modem/router.

The first thing is to make sure that your router knows to forward any incoming ssh connection to your machine. Your external IP is given to you by your ISP, and it is associated with any requests coming out of your router. So your router needs to know that any incoming ssh connection to your external IP needs to be forwarded to your machine running sshd.

Find your internal network address.

    ip a

Find your interface device and look for the inet field. Then access your router's configuration web interface, using your router's IP (find this on the web). Tell your router to forward it to your inet IP. Go to [1] for more instructions on how to do so for your particular router.

#### Is SSH running and listening?

    $ ss -tnlp

If the above command do not show SSH port is open, SSH is NOT running. Check `/var/log/messages` for errors etc.

#### Are there firewall rules blocking the connection?

Iptables may be blocking connections on port `22`. Check this with:

    # iptables -nvL

and look for rules that might be dropping packets on the `INPUT` chain. Then, if necessary, unblock the port with a command like:

    # iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT

For more help configuring firewalls, see firewalls.

#### Is the traffic even getting to your computer?

Start a traffic dump on the computer you're having problems with:

    # tcpdump -lnn -i any port ssh and tcp-syn

This should show some basic information, then wait for any matching traffic to happen before displaying it. Try your connection now. If you do not see any output when you attempt to connect, then something outside of your computer is blocking the traffic (e. g., hardware firewall, NAT router etc.).

#### Your ISP or a third party blocking default port?

Note: Try this step if you KNOW you aren't running any firewalls and you know you have configured the router for DMZ or have forwarded the port to your computer and it still doesn't work. Here you will find diagnostic steps and a possible solution.

In some cases, your ISP might block the default port (SSH port 22) so whatever you try (opening ports, hardening the stack, defending against flood attacks, et al) ends up useless. To confirm this, create a server on all interfaces (0.0.0.0) and connect remotely.

If you get an error message comparable to this:

    ssh: connect to host www.inet.hr port 22: Connection refused

That means the port is not being blocked by the ISP, but the server does not run SSH on that port (See security through obscurity).

However, if you get an error message comparable to this:

    ssh: connect to host 111.222.333.444 port 22: Operation timed out

That means that something is rejecting your TCP traffic on port 22. Basically that port is stealth, either by your firewall or 3rd party intervetion (like an ISP blocking and/or rejecting incoming traffic on port 22). If you know you aren't running any firewall on your computer, and you know that Gremlins aren't growing in your routers and switches, then your ISP is blocking the traffic.

To double check, you can run Wireshark on your server and listen to traffic on port 22. Since Wireshark is a Layer 2 Packet Sniffing utility, and TCP/UDP are Layer 3 and above (See IP Network stack), if you do not receive anything while connecting remotely, a third party is most likely to be blocking the traffic on that port to your server.

##### Diagnosis via Wireshark

Install Wireshark with the wireshark-cli package, available in the official repositories.

And then run it using,

    tshark -f "tcp port 22" -i NET_IF

where NET_IF is the network interface for a WAN connection (see `ip a` to check). If you aren't receiving any packets while trying to connect remotely, you can be very sure that your ISP is blocking the incoming traffic on port 22.

##### Possible solution

The solution is just to use some other port that the ISP isn't blocking. Open the `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` and configure the file to use different ports. For example, add:

    Port 22
    Port 1234

Also make sure that other "Port" configuration lines in the file are commented out. Just commenting "Port 22" and putting "Port 1234" won't solve the issue because then sshd will only listen on port 1234. Use both lines to run the SSH server on both ports.

Restart the server `systemctl restart sshd.service` and you're almost done. You still have to configure your client(s) to use the other port instead of the default port. There are numerous solutions to that problem, but let's cover two of them here.

#### Read from socket failed: connection reset by peer

Recent versions of openssh sometimes fail with the above error message, due to a bug involving elliptic curve cryptography. In that case add the following line to `~/.ssh/config`:

    HostKeyAlgorithms ssh-rsa-cert-v01@openssh.com,ssh-dss-cert-v01@openssh.com,ssh-rsa-cert-v00@openssh.com,ssh-dss-cert-v00@openssh.com,ecdsa-sha2-nistp256,ecdsa-sha2-nistp384,ecdsa-sha2-nistp521,ssh-rsa,ssh-dss

With openssh 5.9, the above fix doesn't work. Instead, put the following lines in `~/.ssh/config`:

    Ciphers aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,aes128-cbc,3des-cbc
    MACs hmac-md5,hmac-sha1,hmac-ripemd160

### "[your shell]: No such file or directory" / ssh_exchange_identification problem

One possible cause for this is the need of certain SSH clients to find an absolute path (one returned by `whereis -b [your shell]`, for instance) in `$SHELL`, even if the shell's binary is located in one of the `$PATH` entries.

### "Terminal unknown" or "Error opening terminal" error message

With ssh it is possible to receive errors like "Terminal unknown" upon logging in. Starting ncurses applications like nano fails with the message "Error opening terminal". There are two methods to this problem, a quick one using the $TERM variable and a profound one using the terminfo file.

#### Workaround by setting the $TERM variable

After connecting to the remote server set the $TERM variable to "xterm" with the following command.

`TERM=xterm`

This method is a workaround and should be used on ssh servers you do seldomly connect to, because it can have unwanted side effects. Also you have to repeat the command after every connection, or alternatively set it in ~.bashrc .

#### Solution using terminfo file

A profound solution is transferring the terminfo file of the terminal on your client computer to the ssh server. In this example we cover how to setup the terminfo file for the "rxvt-unicode-256color" terminal. Create the directory containing the terminfo files on the ssh server, while you are logged in to the server issue this command:

`mkdir -p ~/.terminfo/r/`

Now copy the terminfo file of your terminal to the new directory. Replace `rxvt-unicode-256color` with your client's terminal in the following command and `ssh-server` with the relevant user and server adress.

`$ scp /usr/share/terminfo/r/rxvt-unicode-256color ssh-server:~/.terminfo/r/`

After logging in and out from the ssh server the problem should be fixed.
