Customizing the User Environment on the Server Host 



During configuration, the SSHD2_CONFIG. file is copied to TCPIP$SSH_DEVICE:[TCPIP$SSH.SSH2]. When the connection attempt is made from a remote client, the SSH server reads the file and creates the run-time version of the configuration parameters. If you want a different set of parameters, you must create your own version of the configuration file in your SSH subdirectory.

The SSH server loads this file and modifies the run-time version of the parameters accordingly. You can copy this file from a UNIX or OpenVMS system and edit it, or you can create a new file. The file can be in either Stream_LF or variable-length format.

Create an SSH subdirectory in your user directory by entering the following commands:

$ SET DEFAULT SYS$LOGIN
$ CREATE/DIR [.SSH]
