closedExtend OpenSSH technique
Description
Since the OpenSSH technique lacks lots of options to configure, I tried to add something at the end with the "enforce a file content" technique. To be clear, the sshd_config file should first be edited by the OpenSSH technique to have a base install/config and then I want to add something to the end. This doesn't work.
- In the OpenSSH technique I configured PasswordAuthentication to be no
- in the enforce file content I added this:
Match User foobar PasswordAuthentication yes
After one run of cf-agent the file ends like this:
PasswordAuthentication no Match User spaceobserver PasswordAuthentication no Port 22
If i now run cf-agent multiple times, the file ends like this:
PasswordAuthentication no Match User spaceobserver PasswordAuthentication no PasswordAuthentication no PasswordAuthentication no PasswordAuthentication no Port 22
Note: I saw this behaviour before: the OpenSSH technique adds options multiple times, which most times is harmless, but ugly.

Thank you Dennis for reporting!
Which version of the technique are you using ? 2.0 or 3.0 ?
And which version of Enforce file content?
Maybe the two of them are conflicting...
Matthieu, can you look into this ?
Updated by Dennis Cabooter about 11 years ago
I use the OpenSSH server version 2.0 Technique and the Enforce a file content version 3.2 Technique.
I think the OpenSSH server technique has more issues; it adds some directives multiple times and sometimes the file is edited on a node and sometimes it's overwritten (I strongly prefer the latest).

Nico, can you look into this when you get a chance?

Dennis,
I'm afraid this is the expected behaviour with current version of the Techniques, as you have two conflicting configurations:
- one to set PasswordAuthentication no (the OpenSSH directive)
- one to set PasswordAuthentication yes (enforce a file content)
apparently, the second directive applies first, adding the line (it is not there), while the first one remplace all the lines PasswordAuthentication.* to PasswordAuthentication no
What we could do is to modify the OpenSSH technique to replace content only before the Match .*
Do you know if there are others end sections than Match that can exist in the OpenSSH config file

This won’t be added to that technique, please use the technique editor for that. If you are missing some capabilities in it, please open a ticket for that need.
