NAME

openssh - The LCFG openssh component

DESCRIPTION

An LCFG component to configure the OpenSSH daemon and client application.

OpenSSH LCFG Component

RESOURCES

sshopts

The list of options to add to the ssh_config file. The keys used here will be the keys used in the actual ssh_config file unless the item also has a sshoptrealname resource value. This feature can also be used to add multiple entries of the same type to the ssh_config file.

sshopt_item

The value of this resource should be the value to assign to the item parameter entry in ssh_config.

sshoptrealname_item

This option serves two purposes. The first is to allow for ssh_config parameter names that can not be represented as LCFG resource keys. The other is to allow for multiple ssh_config parameter entries that have the same parameter name (for example Host). If this resource exists for a given item then its value will be used as the parameter name in ssh_config instead of item.

sshdopts

The list of options to add to the sshd_config file. The keys used here will be the keys used in the actual sshd_config file unless the item also has a sshoptrealname resource value. This feature can also be used to add multiple entries of the same type to the sshd_config file.

sshdopt_item

The value of this resource should be the value to assign to the item parameter entry in sshd_config.

sshdoptrealname_item

This option serves two purposes. The first is to allow for sshd_config parameter names that can not be represented as LCFG resource keys. The other is to allow for multiple sshd_config parameter entries that have the same parameter name (for example Port). If this resource exists for a given item then its value will be used as the parameter name in sshd_config instead of item.

file_sshconf

The full pathname of the ssh_config file. The default is /etc/ssh/ssh_config.

file_sshdconf

The full pathname of the sshd_config file. The default is /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

tool_init

The full pathname of the ‘/etc/init.d’ script used to start and stop the sshd daemon. The default is /etc/init.d/sshd.

tool_sshd

The full pathname of the sshd binary in use on the SSH server. The default is /usr/sbin/sshd.

cmd_restorekeys

The command to be used to restore the host machine's SSH keys from a central repository, if such exists. The intention is that such a repository may be used to preserve a host's keys across a complete machine reinstall.

cmd_savekeys

The command to be used to save the host machine's SSH keys to a central repository, if such exists.
