.SH "NAME" systemd-ssh-issue - Generator for SSH login prompt drop-ins

.SH "SYNOPSIS"

.HP 840u

**/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-ssh-issue**  
\[OPTIONS...]  
make-vsock

.HP 840u

**/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-ssh-issue**  
\[OPTIONS...]  
rm-vsock

.SH "DESCRIPTION"

.PP **systemd-ssh-issue** is a small tool that generates (when called with **make-vsock**) and removes (when called with **rm-vsock**) a /run/issue.d/50-ssh-vsock.issue drop-in file in case **AF\_VSOCK** support is available in the kernel and the VM environment. The file contains brief information about how to contact the local system via SSH-over-**AF\_VSOCK**, in particular it reports the system's **AF\_VSOCK** CID. The file is typically read and displayed by [**agetty**(8)](/man/os/systemd/agetty.8) on console or serial login prompts.

.PP This tool is automatically used by [**systemd-ssh-generator**(8)](/man/os/systemd/systemd-ssh-generator.8) in the **AF\_VSOCK** socket units it generates.

.SH "OPTIONS"

.PP The following options are understood:

.PP **--issue-path=**

Changes the path to the issue file to write to/remove. If not specified, defaults to /run/issue.d/50-ssh-vsock.issue. If specified as empty string or - writes the issue file contents to standard output.

Added in version 258.
