Permissions

There are several permissions:

• --allow-direct-streamlocal
• --allow-direct-tcpip
• --allow-execute
• --allow-sftp
• --allow-tcpip-forward

All permissions are allowed when nothing is specified. The log shows "allowed: " and "NOT allowed: " permissions as follows:

$ handy-sshd --user "john:"
2023/08/11 09:42:05 INFO listening on :2222...
2023/08/11 09:42:05 INFO allowed: "tcpip-forward", "direct-tcpip", "execute", "sftp", "direct-streamlocal"
2023/08/11 09:42:05 INFO NOT allowed: none

For example, specifying --allow-direct-tcpip and --allow-execute allows only them:

$ handy-sshd --user "john:" --allow-direct-tcpip --allow-execute
2023/08/11 09:38:58 INFO listening on :2222...
2023/08/11 09:38:58 INFO allowed: "direct-tcpip", "execute"
2023/08/11 09:38:58 INFO NOT allowed: "tcpip-forward", "sftp", "direct-streamlocal"
