ftpdServerThe sftp server subsystem automatically initiated by
the sshd daemon.
sftp-server
Not applicableServerRandom number generator used when the sshd
daemon is unable to find the /dev/random or /dev/
urandom file on the server
prngd
Not applicableClient and
Server
Generates key pairs used in public-key authentication.
Both client and server are required to generate key
ssh-keygen
pairs. The server key pair is required for all HP-UX
Secure Shell client operations regardless of the
authentication method used. The client key pair is used
for public-key authentication only.
Not applicableClientTool for automatic public-key login from client to server.
The ssh-agent binary stores information about the
ssh-agent
private-key passcodes for different client users on the
system. During public-key authentication, the client
prompts the user for the private-key passcode. However,
if ssh-agent is running at the same time, the client
retrieves the passcode from the ssh-agent binary.
Not applicableClientMakes the client key pairs known to ssh-agent.
Useful during public-key authentication if the client’s
private keys are generated with passcodes.
ssh-add
Not applicableClientGathers public keys for a set of systems running the
sshd daemon.
ssh-keyscan
Not applicableClientThe client uses this command to read the server’s private
key. The ssh-keysign binary runs as a superuser
and is not visible to end users.
ssh-keysign
Keys and Configuration Files
A run-time HP-UX Secure Shell environment uses the following files for authentication:
• Configuration files
• Host file lists
• Key files
Table 5 lists the client keys and configuration files for the HP-UX Secure Shell client.
