9.10.6. Configuring Secure Shell Access
Use the following procedure to correctly configure the
sshd service on the node host:
- Append the following line to the
/etc/ssh/sshd_configfile to configure thesshddaemon to pass theGIT_SSHenvironment variable:AcceptEnv GIT_SSH
- The
sshddaemon handles a high number ofSSHconnections from developers connecting to the node host to push their changes. Increase the limits on the number of connections to the node host to accommodate this volume:#
sed -i -e "s/^#MaxSessions .*\$/MaxSessions 40/" /etc/ssh/sshd_config#sed -i -e "s/^#MaxStartups .*\$/MaxStartups 40/" /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Note
If you use the kickstart or bash script, the
configure_sshd_on_node function performs these steps.
