Ansible OpenSSH Daemon Role

This role configures the OpenSSH daemon. It:

• By default configures the SSH daemon with the normal OS defaults. Defaults can be disabled by setting sshd_skip_defaults: true
• Supports use of a dict to configure items:

sshd:
  Compression: delayed
  ListenAddress:
    - 0.0.0.0

• Can use scalars rather than a dict. Scalar values override dict values:

sshd_Compression: off

• Correctly interprets booleans as yes and no in sshd configuration
• Supports lists for multi line configuration items
• Tests the sshd_config before reloading sshd
• Template is programmatically generated. See the files in the meta folder. It should cover all valid SSH options.
• Support match section either via Match in the sshd dict, sshd_match and any of sshd_match_1 through sshd_match_9.
