HP-UX Secure Shell Getting Started Guide HP-UX 11i v1, HP-UX 11i v2, and HP-UX 11i v3 (5900-3142, June 2013)

The default setting is no.
For example:
Compression yes
CompressionLevel
Use this directive to specify the compression level to use if compression is enabled. Valid values
are integers between 1 (fast) and 9 (slow, best).
The default setting is 6, which is sufficient for most applications.
For example:
CompressionLevel 9
NOTE: The CompressionLevel directive is available for the SSH-1 protocol only.
ConnectionAttempts
Use this directive to specify the number of times a user can attempt to connect to the server (one
per second) before exiting. Valid values must be integers. Use this directive with scripts in case
the connection fails.
The default value is 1.
For example:
ConnectionAttempts 3
ConnectTimeout
Use this directive to specify the timeout (in seconds) when connecting to the HP-UX Secure Shell
server, instead of using the default system TCP timeout. This value is used only when the target
server is down or unreachable.
The default value is 0.
For example:
ConnectTimeout 0
ControlMaster
Use this directive to enable sharing of multiple sessions over a single network connection. Following
are the valid values for the ControlMaster directive:
yes HP-UX Secure Shell listens for connections on a control socket specified using the
control path value.
no HP-UX Secure Shell connects additional sessions to the socket using the same control
path. These sessions reuse the master instance of a network connection than initiating
new ones.
ask HP-UX Secure Shell listens for control connections, but it requires confirmation using
the SSH_ASKPASS program before these connections are accepted. For more
information, see ssh-add(1).
auto HP-UX Secure Shell tries to use a master connection but falls back to create a new
one if one does not already exist.
autoask It is similar to auto but it requires the configuration like the ask.
The default setting is no.
For example:
ControlMaster no
