Config::Model::OpenSsh(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			       Config::Model::OpenSsh(3pm)

NAME

       Config::Model::OpenSsh - OpenSsh config editor

SYNOPSIS

   invoke editor
       The following will launch a graphical editor (if Config::Model::TkUI is installed):

	sudo cme edit sshd

   command line
       This command will add a "Host Foo" section in "~/.ssh/config":

	cme modify ssh Host:Foo ForwardX11=yes

   programmatic
       This code snippet will remove the "Host Foo" section added above:

	use Config::Model ;
	use Log::Log4perl qw(:easy) ;
	my $model = Config::Model -> new ( ) ;
	my $inst = $model->instance (root_class_name => 'Ssh');
	$inst -> config_root ->load("Host~Foo") ;
	$inst->write_back() ;

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".
