DESCRIPTION
       Ssh1 performs authenticated login over an encrypted  channel  to	 hosts
       that support the SSH v1 protocol (see the RFCs listed below for encryp‐
       tion and authentication details).  Ssh1 takes  the  host	 name  of  the
       machine	to  connect to as its mandatory argument.  It may be specified
       as a domain name or an IP address.  Normally, login is attempted	 using
       the user name from /dev/user.

       Command-line options are:

       -C     force  input  to be read in cooked mode: ``line at a time'' with
	      local echo.

       -f     enable agent forwarding.	With this flag, ssh1 uses SSH's	 agent
	      forwarding  protocol  to	allow  programs	 running on the remote
	      server to interact with factotum(4) to perform  RSA  authentica‐
	      tion.

       -i     force  interactive  mode.	 In interactive mode, ssh1 prompts for
	      passwords and confirmations of new  host	keys  when  necessary.
	      (In  non-interactive  mode,  password  requests are rejected and
	      unrecognized  host  keys	are  cause  for	 disconnecting.)    By
	      default, ssh 1 runs in interactive mode only when its input file
	      descriptor is /dev/cons.

       -I     force non-interactive mode.

       -m     disable the control-\ menu, described below.

       -p     force pseudoterminal request.  The  SSH  protocol,  grounded  in
	      Unix  tradition, differentiates between connections that request
	      controlling pseudoterminals and those that do not.  By  default,
	      ssh1 requests a pseudoterminal only when no command is given.

       -P     force no pseudoterminal request.

       -r     strip carriage returns.

       -R     put the allocated pseudoterminal, if any, in raw mode.

       -w     notify the remote side whenever the window changes size.

       -[lu] user
	      specify  user  name.   This option is deprecated in favor of the
	      user@hostname syntax.

       -A authlist
	      specify an ordered space-separated list of authentication proto‐
	      cols  to	try.   The full set of authentication protocols is rsa
	      (RSA using factotum(4) to moderate key usage), password  (use  a
	      password	gathered from factotum), and tis (challenge-response).
	      The default list is all three in that order.

       -c cipherlist
	      specify an ordered space-separated list of  allowed  ciphers  to
	      use when encrypting the channel.	The full set of ciphers is des
	      (standard DES), 3des (a somewhat doubtful	 variation  on	triple
	      DES),  blowfish (Bruce Schneier's Blowfish), rc4 (RC4), and none
	      (no encryption).	The default cipher list is blowfish rc4 3des.

       The control-\ character is a local escape, as in	 con(1).   It  prompts
       with >>>.  Legitimate responses to the prompt are

       q      Exit.

       .      Return from the escape.

       !cmd   Run  the	command	 with  the  network connection as its standard
	      input and standard  output.   Standard  error  will  go  to  the
	      screen.

       r      Toggle printing of carriage returns.

       If  no  command	is specified, a login session is started on the remote
       host.  Otherwise, the command is executed with its arguments.

       Ssh1 establishes a connection with an SSH daemon on  the	 remote	 host.
       The  daemon  sends  to  ssh1  its  RSA public host key and session key.
       Using these, ssh1 sends a session key which, presumably, only the  dae‐
       mon  can	 decipher.  After this, both sides start encrypting their data
       with this session key.

       When the daemon's host key has been  received,  ssh1  looks  it	up  in
       $home/lib/keyring  and  in  /sys/lib/ssh/keyring.   If the key is found
       there, and it matches the received key, ssh1  is	 satisfied.   If  not,
       ssh1 reports this and offers to add the key to $home/lib/keyring.

       Over  the  encrypted  channel,  ssh1 attempts to convince the daemon to
       accept the call using the listed authentication protocols (see  the  -A
       option above).

       The  preferred way to authenticate is a netkey-style challenge/response
       or via a SecurID token.	SSH users on other systems than Plan 9	should
       enable TIS_Authentication.

       When  the  connection  is  authenticated,  the  given command line, (by
       default, a login shell) is executed on the remote host.

       The SSH protocol allows clients to make	outgoing  TCP  calls  via  the
       server.	 Sshnet establishes an SSH connection and, rather than execute
       a remote command, presents the remote server's TCP stack as  a  network
       stack  (see  the	 discussion  of TCP in ip(3)) mounted at mtpt (default
       /net), optionally posting a 9P service descriptor for the new file sys‐
       tem as /srv/service.  The -A and -c arguments are as for ssh1.

       Scp  uses ssh to copy files from one host to another.  A remote file is
       identified by a host name, a colon and a file name  (no	spaces).   Scp
       can copy files from remote hosts and to remote hosts.

   Server and Keys
       Sshserve	 is the server that services SSH calls from remote hosts.  The
       -A and -c options set valid authentication methods and ciphers  as  for
       ssh1,  except  that  there  is no rsa authentication method.  Unlike in
       ssh1, the list is not ordered: the server presents a set and the client
       makes the choice.  The default sets are tis and blowfish rc4 3des.  The
       -i option prevents reading the client's ID-string line and assumes  its
       ID  string to be id-string.  By default, users start with the namespace
       defined in /lib/namespace.  Users in group noworld in /adm/users	 start
       with  the  namespace  defined in /lib/namespace.noworld.	 Sshserve does
       not provide the TCP forwarding functionality used  by  sshnet,  because
       many Unix clients present this capability in an insecure manner.

       Sshserve	 requires  that	 factotum(4)  hold the host key, identified by
       having attributes proto=rsa service=sshserve.  To generate a host key:

	      auth/rsagen -t 'service=sshserve' >/mnt/factotum/ctl

       To extract the public part of the host key in the form used by SSH  key
       rings:

	      grep 'service=sshserve' /mnt/factotum/ctl | auth/rsa2ssh

FILES
       /sys/lib/ssh/keyring
	      System  key  ring	 file  containing  public  keys for remote SSH
	      clients and servers.

       /usr/user/lib/keyring
	      Personal key ring file containing public	keys  for  remote  SSH
	      clients and servers.
