NAME

ssh-sk-helper – OpenSSH helper for FIDO authenticator support

CONTENTS

SYNOPSIS


ssh-sk-helper [-v]

DESCRIPTION

ssh-sk-helper is used by ssh(1), ssh-agent(1), and ssh-keygen(1) to access keys provided by a FIDO authenticator.

ssh-sk-helper is not intended to be invoked directly by the user.

A single option is supported:
-v
  Verbose mode. Causes ssh-sk-helper to print debugging messages about its progress. This is helpful in debugging problems. Multiple -v options increase the verbosity. The maximum is 3.

Note that ssh(1), ssh-agent(1), and ssh-keygen(1) will automatically pass the -v flag to ssh-sk-helper when they have themselves been placed in debug mode.

SEE ALSO

ssh(1), ssh-agent(1), ssh-keygen(1)

HISTORY

ssh-sk-helper first appeared in OpenBSD 6.7 .

Our grievance is not just against Unix itself, but against the cult of Unix zealots who defend and nurture it. They take the heat, disease, and pestilence as givens, and, as ancient shamans did, display their wounds, some self-inflicted, as proof of their power and wizardry. We aim, through bluntness and humor, to show them that they pray to a tin god, and that science, not religion, is the path to useful and friendly technology.
