This article focuses on the Solarishd\_config file, providing a detailed explanation of how to reset, restart the sshd service, and prevent specific subsystems (ftp/usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server) from running. The content is structured with subtitles and paragraphs, using appropriate HTML tags, and code blocks are enclosed within tags with proper formatting.

Introduction

The Solaris Secure Shell Daemon (sshd) configuration file, located at /etc/ssh/sshd\_config, contains settings that control the behavior of the sshd service. In this article, we will explore how to reset, restart the sshd service, and prevent the ftp/usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server subsystem from running.

Preventing the ftp/usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server Subsystem

To prevent the ftp/usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server subsystem from running, follow these steps:

1. Open the sshd\_config file:

2. Add the following line:

3. Save and close the file.

This configuration change will cause the sftp-server to be replaced by the /bin/true command, effectively preventing the subsystem from running.

This article provided a detailed explanation of how to reset, restart the sshd service, and prevent the ftp/usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server subsystem from running in Solaris. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can ensure the secure and efficient operation of your Solaris system.
