sshd-check-conf(8)					    sshd-check-conf(8)

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

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

OPTIONS
       Debugs  the server.  The debugging level is either a number or a comma-
       separated list of assignments.  Enables the verbose mode, and  displays
       verbose	debugging  messages.  Displays the version string.  Displays a
       short help file 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
       The  sshd-check-conf  command checks how the sshd2 daemon 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 Deny‐
       Hosts AllowSHosts DenySHosts  AllowUsers	 DenyUsers  AllowGroups	 Deny‐
       Groups  ChrootUsers ChrootGroups AllowTcpForwardingForUsers DenyTcpFor‐
       wardingForUsers AllowTcpForwardingForGroups DenyTcpForwardingForGroups

NOTES
       Any nonoptions 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, sshd-check-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 inter‐
       active  mode. This command  dumps the configuration (with subconfigura‐
       tions amended) for the previous pattern given.

EXAMPLES
       % sshd-check-conf -f /etc/ssh2/sshd2_config sjl@ssh.com	%  sshd-check-
       conf  -f	 /etc/ssh2/sshd2_config luser1@evil.org luser2@aol.com % sshd-
       check-conf
