DESCRIPTION

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.

BUGS

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