-# sshd module for Puppet
+Introduction
+============
-## Dependencies
+This puppet module manages OpenSSH configuration and services.
+
+Dependencies
+------------
+
+This module requires puppet => 2.6, and the following modules are required
+pre-dependencies:
- shared-common: git://labs.riseup.net/shared-common
- shared-lsb: git://labs.riseup.net/shared-lsb
+
+OpenSSH Server
+==============
+
+On a node where you wish to have an openssh server installed, you should
+'include sshd' on that node. If you need to configure any aspects of
+sshd_config, set the variables before the include. See 'Configurable Variables'
+below for what you can set.
+
+Nagios
+------
+
+To have nagios checks setup automatically for sshd services, simply set
+$use_nagios = true before the class is included. If you want to disable ssh
+nagios checking for a particular node (such as when ssh is firewalled), then you
+can set $nagios_check_ssh to false and that node will not be monitored.
+
+Nagios will automatically check the ports defined in $sshd_ports, and the
+hostname specified by $nagios_check_ssh_hostname.
+
+NOTE: this requires that you are using the shared-nagios puppet module which
+supports the nagios native types via nagios::service:
+git://labs.riseup.net/shared-nagios
+
+Firewall
+--------
+
+If you wish to have firewall rules setup automatically for you, using shorewall,
+you will need to set: $use_shorewall = true. The $sshd_ports that you have
+specified will automatically be used.
+
+NOTE: This requires that you are using the shared-shorewall puppet module:
+git://labs.riseup.net/shared-shorewall
+
+
+Configurable variables
+----------------------
+
+Configuration of sshd is strict, and may not fit all needs, however there are a
+number of variables that you can consider configuring. The defaults are set to
+the distribution shipped sshd_config file defaults.
+
+To set any of these variables, simply set them as variables in your manifests,
+before the class is included, for example:
+
+ $sshd_listen_address = ['10.0.0.1 192.168.0.1']
+ $sshd_use_pam = yes
+ include sshd
+
+If you need to install a version of the ssh daemon or client package other than
+the default one that would be installed by 'ensure => installed', then you can
+set the following variables:
+
+ $sshd_ensure_version = "1:5.2p2-6"
+ $ssh_ensure_version = "1:5.2p2-6"
+
+The following is a list of the currently available variables:
+
+ $sshd_listen_address
+ specify the addresses sshd should listen on set this to ['10.0.0.1
+ 192.168.0.1'] to have it listen on both addresses, or leave it unset to
+ listen on all Default: empty -> results in listening on 0.0.0.0
+
+ $sshd_allowed_users
+ list of usernames separated by spaces. set this for example to "foobar
+ root" to ensure that only user foobar and root might login. Default: empty
+ -> no restriction is set
+
+ $sshd_allowed_groups
+ list of groups separated by spaces. set this for example to "wheel sftponly"
+ to ensure that only users in the groups wheel and sftponly might login.
+ Default: empty -> no restriction is set Note: This is set after
+ sshd_allowed_users, take care of the behaviour if you use these 2 options
+ together.
+
+ $sshd_use_pam
+ if you want to use pam or not for authenticaton. Values: no or yes; Default:
+ no
+
+ $sshd_permit_root_login
+ If you want to allow root logins or not. Valid values: yes, no,
+ without-password, forced-commands-only; Default: without-password
+
+ $sshd_password_authentication
+ If you want to enable password authentication or not. Valid values: yes or
+ no; Default: no
+
+ $sshd_kerberos_authentication
+ If you want the password that is provided by the user to be validated
+ through the Kerberos KDC. To use this option the server needs a Kerberos
+ servtab which allows the verification of the KDC's identity. Valid values:
+ yes or no; Default: no
+
+ $sshd_kerberos_orlocalpasswd
+ If password authentication through Kerberos fails, then the password will be
+ validated via any additional local mechanism. Valid values: yes or no;
+ Default: yes
+
+ $sshd_kerberos_ticketcleanup
+ Destroy the user's ticket cache file on logout? Valid values: yes or no;
+ Default: yes
+
+ $sshd_gssapi_authentication
+ Authenticate users based on GSSAPI? Valid values: yes or no; Default: no
+
+ $sshd_gssapi_cleanupcredentials
+ Destroy user's credential cache on logout? Valid values: yes or no; Default:
+ yes
+
+ $sshd_challenge_response_authentication
+ If you want to enable ChallengeResponseAuthentication or not When disabled,
+ s/key passowords are disabled Valid values: yes or no; Default: no
+
+ $sshd_tcp_forwarding
+ If you want to enable TcpForwarding. Valid Values: yes or no; Default: no
+
+ $sshd_x11_forwarding
+ If you want to enable x11 forwarding. Valid Values: yes or no; Default: no
+
+ $sshd_agent_forwarding

+ no
+
+ $sshd_pubkey_authentication
+ If you want to enable public key authentication. Valid Values: yes or no;

+ no
+
+ $sshd_rhosts_rsa_authentication
+ If you want to enable rhosts RSA Authentication. Valid Values: yes or no;
+ Default: no
+
+ $sshd_hostbased_authentication
+ If you want to enable HostbasedAuthentication. Valid Values: yes or no;
+ Default: no
+
+ $sshd_strict_modes
+ If you want to set StrictModes (check file modes/ownership before accepting
+ login). Valid Values: yes or no; Default: yes
+
+ $sshd_permit_empty_passwords
+ If you want enable PermitEmptyPasswords to allow empty passwords. Valid
+ Values: yes or no; Default: no

+ [22]
+
+ $sshd_authorized_keys_file
+ Set this to the location of the AuthorizedKeysFile
+ (e.g. /etc/ssh/authorized_keys/%u). Default: AuthorizedKeysFile
+ %h/.ssh/authorized_keys
+
+ $sshd_sftp_subsystem

+ sftponly usage. Default: empty -> no change of the default
+
+ $sshd_head_additional_options
+ Set this to any additional sshd_options which aren't listed above. Anything
+ set here will be added to the beginning of the sshd_config file. This option
+ might be useful to define complicated Match Blocks. This string is going to
+ be included, like it is defined. So take care! Default: empty -> not added.
+
+ $sshd_tail_additional_options
+
+ Set this to any additional sshd_options which aren't listed above. Anything
+ set here will be added to the end of the sshd_config file. This option might

+
+
+Defines
+-------
+
+Deploy authorized_keys file with the define sshd::ssh_authorized_key
+
+Client
+======
+
+On a node where you wish to have the ssh client managed, you can do 'include
+sshd::client' in the node definition. This will install the appropriate package.
