NAME

  ssh-validate-conf - Verifies the Secure Shell client or server
  configuration file.


SYNOPSIS

  ssh-validate-conf [-q] [-r] [-c client_config] [-s server_config] filename


OPTIONS

  -c filename
      Specifies a Secure Shell client configuration file. The system-wide
      client configuration file can be found at /etc/ssh2/ssh2_config.	The
      user-specific configuration file can be found in the $HOME/.ssh2
      directory, where $HOME is the name of the user's account.

  -s filename
      Specifies a Secure Shell server configuration file. The system-wide
      server configuration file can be found at /etc/ssh2/sshd2_config.

  -r  If the configuration file has an invalid keyword, the -r option  will
      comment out the keyword and update the content of the specified  file.

  -q  Disables all messages.


OPERANDS

  filename
      Specifies the name of the file that contains the Secure Shell client or
      server configuration.


DESCRIPTION

  The ssh-validate-conf command verifies whether the keyword in the Secure
  Shell	 server or the client configuration file is valid.  If a keyword is
  invalid, a message is printed. Any lines that are commented out will be
  skipped. To update the file, you use the -r option.  This will comment out
  the invalid keywords.
