Bug ID: 2078
Summary: Documentation claims ~.ssh/config must not be
accessible by others when actually it must not be
readable
Classification: Unclassified
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 5.9p1
Hardware: Other
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P5
Component: Documentation
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
The ssh man page claims
~/.ssh/config
This is the per-user configuration file. The file format and
configuration options are described in ssh_config(5). Because of
the potential for abuse, this file must have strict permissions:
read/write for the user, and not accessible by others.
However in fact this file must only not be writeable by others and this
is what ssh checks for.
