Disables authentication agent forwarding.

Enables authentication agent forwarding. This is the default value.

Uses batch mode. Fails authentication if it requires user interaction on the terminal.

Using batch mode requires that you have previously saved the server host key on the client and set up a non-interactive method for user authentication (for example, host-based authentication or public-key authentication without a passphrase).

Sets the debug level. LEVEL is a number from 0 to 99, where 99 specifies that all debug information should be displayed. This should be the first argument on the command line.

	Note
	Option -D only applies on Unix. On Windows, instead of this command line tool, use the Connection Broker debugging options -D, -l.

	Note
	The debug level can be set only when the sshg3 command starts the Connection Broker. This option has no effect in the command if the Connection Broker is already running.

Sets escape character (none: disabled, default: ~).

Forks into background mode (Unix).

Gateways ports, which means that also other hosts may connect to locally forwarded ports. This option has to be specified before the "-L" option. Note the logic of + and - in this option.

Does not gateway ports. Listens to tunneling connections originating only from the localhost. This is the default value. Note the logic of + and - in this option.

Logs in using this username.

Forwards a port on the local (client) host to a remote destination host and port.

This allocates a listener port (listen-port) on the local client. Whenever a connection is made to this listener, the connection is tunneled over Secure Shell to the remote server and another connection is made from the server to a specified destination host and port (dst-host:dst-port). The connection from the server onwards will not be secure, it is a normal TCP connection.

Giving the argument protocol enables protocol-specific forwarding. The protocols implemented are tcp (default, no special processing), ftp (temporary forwarding is created for FTP data channels, effectively securing the whole FTP session), and socks.

With the socks protocol, the syntax of the argument is "-L socks/[listen-address:]listen-port". When this is set, SSH Tectia Client will act as a SOCKS server for other applications, creating forwards as requested by the SOCKS transaction. This supports both SOCKS4 and SOCKS5.

If listen-address is given, only that interface on the client is listened. If it is omitted, all interfaces are listened.

Redirects input from /dev/null (Unix).

Processes an option as if it was read from a SSH Tectia Client 4.x-style configuration file. The supported options are ForwardX11 and ForwardAgent (for example, -o "ForwardX11=yes").

Connects to this port on the remote host. A Secure Shell server must be listening on the same port.

Forwards a port on the remote (server) host to a destination host and port on the local side.

This allocates a listener port (listen-port) on the remote server. Whenever a connection is made to this listener, the connection is tunneled over Secure Shell to the local client and another connection is made from the client to a specified destination host and port (dst-host:dst-port). The connection from the client onwards will not be secure, it is a normal TCP connection.

Giving the argument protocol enables protocol-specific forwarding. The protocols implemented are tcp (default, no special processing) and ftp (temporary forwarding is created for FTP data channels, effectively securing the whole FTP session).

If listen-address is given, only that interface on the server is listened. If it is omitted, all interfaces are listened.

Sets the executed command to be a subsystem rather than a shell executable.

Does not request a session channel. This can be used with port-forwarding requests if a session channel (and tty) is not needed, or the server does not give one.

Requests a session channel. This is the default value.

Allocates a tty even if a command is given.

Uses verbose mode (equal to -D 2).

Does not try an empty password.

Tries an empty password.

Enables X11 connection forwarding.

Disables X11 connection forwarding. This is the default value.

Sets the Connection Broker log file to FILE. This option works only if ssh-broker-g3 gets started by this process).

Aborts if creating a tunnel listener fails (for example, if the port is already reserved).

Sets user password that the client will send as a response to password authentication. The PASSWORD can be given directly as an argument to this option (not recommended), or a path to file containing the password can be given, or a path to a program or a script that outputs the password can be given.

Caution

Supplying the password on the command line is not a secure option. For example, in a multi-user environment, the password given directly on the command line is trivial to recover from the process table. You should set up a more secure way to authenticate. For non-interactive batch jobs, it is more secure to use public-key authentication without a passphrase, or host-based authentication. At a minimum, use a file or a program to supply the password.

Displays program version and exits.

Displays a short summary of command-line options and exits.

Runs the command on a remote host.

Enables a service in remote server.

Terminates the connection.

Suspends the session.

Sends the escape character literally.

Lists forwarded connections.

Disables the escape character irrevocably.

Displays a summary of escape sequences.

Initiates rekeying manually.

Gives connection statistics, including server and client version, packets in, packets out, compression, key exchange algorithms, public-key algorithms, and symmetric ciphers.

Gives statistics for individual channels (data window sizes etc). This is for debugging purposes.

Dumps the client version number to stderr (useful for troubleshooting).

The DISPLAY variable indicates the location of the X11 server. It is automatically set by the server to point to a value of the form hostname:n where hostname indicates the host on which the server and the shell are running, and n is an integer greater than or equal to 1. sshg3 uses this special value to forward X11 connections over the secure channel.

The user should normally not set DISPLAY explicitly, as that will render the X11 connection unsecured (and will require the user to manually copy any required authorization cookies).

The user's home directory.

Synonym for USER; set for compatibility with systems using this variable.

The user's mailbox.

Set to the default PATH, depending on the operating system or, on some systems, /etc/environment or /etc/default/login.

The address of the SOCKS server used by sshg3.

If this exists, it is used to indicate the path of a Unix-domain socket used to communicate with the authentication agent (or its local representative).

Identifies the client end of the connection. The variable contains three space-separated values: client IP address, client port number, and server port number.

This will be the original command given to sshg3 if a forced command is run. It can be used, for example, to fetch arguments from the other end. This does not have to be a real command, it can be the name of a file, device, parameters or anything else.

This is set to the name of the tty (path to the device) associated with the current shell or command. If the current session has no tty, this variable is not set.

The time-zone variable is set to indicate the present time zone if it was set when the server was started (the server passes the value to new connections).

The name of the user.
