NAME#

systemd-ssh-generator - Generator for binding a socket-activated SSH server to local AF_VSOCK and AF_UNIX sockets

SYNOPSIS#

/usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-ssh-generator

DESCRIPTION#

systemd-ssh-generator binds a socket-activated SSH server to local AF_VSOCK and AF_UNIX sockets under certain conditions. It only has an effect if the sshd(8) binary is installed. Specifically, it does the following:

See systemd-ssh-proxy(1) for details on how to connect to these sockets via the ssh client.

The ssh.authorized_keys.root credential can be used to allow specific public keys to log in over SSH. See systemd.system-credentials(7) for more information.

The generator will use a packaged [email protected] service template file if one exists, and otherwise generate a suitable service template file.

systemd-ssh-generator implements systemd.generator(7).
