Overview

This program will edit the configuration data contained in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

You can specify commands as arguments that will be run on the configuration root before launching the UI. These command follow the syntax defined in Config::Model::Loader.

Options

-ui

Specify the user interface type.

•

"tk": provides a Tk graphical interface (If Config::Model::TkUI is installed).

•

"curses": provides a curses user interface (If Config::Model::CursesUI is installed).

•

"shell": provides a shell like interface. See Config::Model::TermUI for details.

•

"none": No UI provided. Only command line arguments are handled.

-root_dir

Specify a root directory to read or write the configuration files. / by default so /etc/ssh/sshd_config is used.

-verbose

Be (very) verbose

-debug

Provide debug infos.

-trace

Provides a full stack trace when exiting on error.

-force-load

Load file even if error are found in data. Bad data are discarded

-backend

Read/Write backend to use. Currently 2 backends are possible:

•

"custom" backend. Supported, but this backend will discard all comments in sshd_config

•

"augeas": Will keep comments. Requires Config::Model::Backend::Augeas.

Caveats

Original structure and comments of /etc/sshd/config are lost during edition if Config::Model::Backend::Augeas and its dependencies are not installed.

Support

For support, please check the following ressources:

•

The config-model wiki: <http://config-model.wiki.sourceforge.net/>

•

The config-model users mailing list: <http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/config-model-users>

Bugs

Augeas backend will probably fail with "sshd" Match blocks.
