Bug ID: 3980
Summary: Wish: "reset to default value" for "Match"
configuration
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 10.4p1
Hardware: Other
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: sshd
Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
Reporter: steffen at sdaoden.eu
Hello.
Situation:
- only want one sshd server instance (one config etc)
- only want mldsa44 by default
- but have clients which can only ed25519, some even only RSA.
Problem:
- cannot have HostKey specs in Match
- cannot adjust HostKeyAlgorithms in Match
- etc
Solution:
- offer three HostKey directives in global section
- add-in (until default, then needs adjustment) mldsa44 to
HostKeyAlgo..
- restrict PubKeyAcceptedAlgorithms to mldsa44 in global section
(which should restrict to only that HostKey by default)
- and: use Match directives to add-in more algorithms to
PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms, effectively setting free the other
HostKeys, selectively
Now what would be nice: if i can simply say
Match Address Xy
PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms =
to choose the default value of PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms, no more no
less.
I need to write something in order to overwrite the global setting.
But what useful thing could i write?
