NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       sshd-check-conf  -  Check what the configuration allows or
       denies based on incoming user and/or host name

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       sshd-check-conf [-d debug_level] [-v] [-V] [-h]  [-f  config_file]
 [[user@] host ..]

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Debug  mode.   The debugging level is either a number or a
       comma-separated   list    of    assignments    "ModulePattern=debug_level".
   Enable verbose mode.  Display verbose
       debugging messages.  Equal to  '-d  2'.   Display  version
       string.   Display  a  short  help on command-line options.
       Specifies the name of the configuration file. The  default
       is   /etc/ssh2/sshd2_config  or  $HOME/.ssh2/sshd2_config,
       depending on who is running the program,  root  or  normal
       user.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  shd-check-conf file checks how sshd2 will react to an
       incoming user, based on the user name and the remote  host
       name  given  as  parameters.  The following parameters are
       checked:  AllowHosts  DenyHosts   AllowSHosts   DenySHosts
       AllowUsers  DenyUsers  AllowGroups  DenyGroups ChrootUsers
       ChrootGroups AllowTcpForwardingForUsers DenyTcpForwardingForUsers
 AllowTcpForwardingForGroups DenyTcpForwardingForGroups

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

       Any non-options presented on  the  command  line  will  be
       regarded  as  [user@]host patterns (that is, the user part
       is optional).  If the host part is a valid IP address,  it
       is looked up from DNS.  Otherwise, it is    interpreted as
       a host name and the corresponding  IP  addresses  will  be
       queried from DNS.

       You can specify multiple patterns on the command line.

       If  no  patterns  are specified on the command line, sshdcheck-conf
 will go into interactive mode, where  the  patterns
  can  be  given  one  at  a  time,  and they will be
       checked.  The dump command  can  be  used  in  interactive
       mode.  This command  dumps the configuration (with subconfigs
 amended) for the previous pattern given.
