# SSH Doctor

Use when SSH connects then closes before auth, Remote Login seems advertised but unusable, or local/remote Mac SSH needs diagnosis.

## Rules

- Do not print secrets, tokens, full env, or broad secret grep output.
- Validate locally first: loopback failure means server-side sshd/launchd/config; loopback success plus remote failure means network/firewall/filter/listen path.
- Report suspicious config lines before changing `/etc/ssh/sshd_config`.
- Prefer non-interactive SSH:

```bash
ssh -o RequestTTY=no -o RemoteCommand=none HOST 'hostname; id -un'
```
