Ssh config file different location
I'm trying use 'sed' to change a line on sshd_config file. But the problem is sshd_config file can be two different locations.(eg: /etc/ssh/sshd_config or /usr/local/ssh/sshd_config)

Was wondering how to write a shell script to search or mention the sshd_config location?

How about running sed only if file exist?
Code:
[[ -f /etc/ssh/sshd_config ]] && sed ... 
[[ -f /usr/local/ssh/sshd_config ]] && sed ...

Yes I can do that, but sometimes sshd_config file is located in both locations.

So I wanna write a script like,

if /etc/ssh/sshd_config exists, then execute sed,
if not then go for /usr/local/ssh/sshd_config and execute sed.

Or is there anyway that we could find the file sshd_config and execute the command?

Code:
if [ -f /etc/ssh/sshd_config ]
then
      sed ... /etc/ssh/sshd_config
elif [ -f /usr/local/ssh/sshd_config ]
then
      sed ... /usr/local/ssh/sshd_config
fi
