ssh subsystems

About this tag
The ssh subsystems tag covers configuration of OpenSSH subsystem settings on Windows, particularly changing the default shell from cmd to PowerShell. A common task involves editing the sshd_config file to add a Subsystem line pointing to the PowerShell executable, such as pwsh.exe, and restarting the OpenSSH server. Users may encounter issues where the change does not take effect, requiring troubleshooting of the subsystem directive syntax or server restart procedures. This tag is relevant for Windows administrators and users configuring SSH access to Windows machines from Linux or other clients, focusing on subsystem customization within the OpenSSH server.
