Bug ID: 4043
Summary: Documentation for sshd_config token %C has client and
server params flipped
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 10.6p1
Hardware: amd64
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: trivial
Priority: P5
Component: sshd
Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
Reporter: brahim.raddahi at acen.eu
in ssh/auth2-pubkey.c in user_key_allowed, we see this:
xasprintf(&conn_id, "%s %d %s %d",
ssh_local_ipaddr(ssh), ssh_local_port(ssh),
remote_ip, ssh_remote_port(ssh));
but in ssh/sshd_config.5, it says:
Identifies the connection endpoints, containing
four space-separated values: client address, client port number,
server address, and server port number.
so the man page (https://man.openbsd.org/sshd_config#TOKENS) has the
client and server params flipped, it should be:
server address, server port number, client address, client port number
