my $inst = $model->instance (root_class_name => 'Ssh');

DESCRIPTION
This module provides a configuration editors (and models) for the configuration files of OpenSsh. ("/etc/ssh/sshd_config",
/etc/ssh/ssh_config and "~/.ssh/config").
This module can also be used to modify safely the content of these configuration files from a Perl programs.
Once this module is installed, you can edit "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" with run (as root) :
# cme edit sshd
To edit /etc/ssh/ssh_config, run (as root):
# cme edit ssh
To edit ~/.ssh/config, run as a normal user:
# cme edit ssh
user interfaces
As mentioned in cme, several user interfaces are available with "edit" subcommand:
o A graphical interface is proposed by default if Config::Model::TkUI is installed.
o A Curses interface with option "cme edit ssh -ui curses" if Config::Model::CursesUI is installed.
o A Shell like interface with option "cme edit ssh -ui shell".
