OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

15       file   The   path  to  the  sshd_config  file  to  edit.   Defaults  to
16              /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
17
18       match  Restrict this option to apply only for certain connections.  Al‐
19              lowed  values  are  what  would be allowed to be written after a
20              Match keyword in sshd_config, e.g. --match 'User anoncvs'.
21
22              Can be used multiple times. All of  the  values  are  ANDed  to‐
23              gether.

26
27       state  Can be:
28
29              • present:  ensure a matching config line is present (or the de‐
30                fault value).
31
32              • absent: ensure no matching config line is present.
33
34       value  The option's value to be assigned  to  the  option  (if  --state
35              present) or removed (if --state absent).
36
37              This option is required if --state present. If not specified and
38              --state absent, all values for the given option are removed.

EXAMPLES

44          # Disallow root logins with password
45          __sshd_config PermitRootLogin --value without-password
46
47          # Disallow password-based authentication
48          __sshd_config PasswordAuthentication --value no
49
50          # Accept the EDITOR environment variable
51          __sshd_config AcceptEnv:EDITOR --option AcceptEnv --value EDITOR
52
53          # Force command for connections as git user
54          __sshd_config git@ForceCommand --match 'User git' --option ForceCommand \
55              --value 'cd ~git && exec git-shell ${SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND:+-c "${SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND}"}'

BUGS

61       • This type assumes a nicely formatted config file, i.e. no config  op‐
62         tions spanning multiple lines.
63
64       • Include directives are ignored.
65
66       • Config options are not added/removed to/from the config file if their
67         value is the default value.
68
69       •
70         The explorer will incorrectly report absent if OpenSSH internally
71         transforms one value to another (e.g. permitrootlogin prohibit-password
72         is transformed to permitrootlogin without-password).
73         Workaround: Use the value that OpenSSH uses internally.
