NAME
Config::Model::Backend::OpenSsh::Ssh - Backend for ssh configuration files
SYNOPSIS
invoke editor
The following will launch a graphical editor (if Config::Model::TkUI is installed):
config-edit -application sshcommand line
This command will add a Host Foo section in ~/.ssh/config:
config-edit -application ssh -ui none Host:Foo ForwardX11=yesprogrammatic
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 calls provides a backend to read and write ssh client configuration files.
Once this module is installed, user root can edit /etc/ssh/ssh_config with :
# config-edit -application ssh To edit ~/.ssh/config, run as a normal user:
# config-edit -application sshuser interfaces
As mentioned in config-edit, several user interfaces are available:
A graphical interface is proposed by default if Config::Model::TkUI is installed.
A Curses interface with option
-ui cursesif Config::Model::CursesUI is installed.A Shell like interface with option
-ui term.A Fuse virtual file system with option
-ui fuse -fuse_dir <mountpoint>if Fuse is installed (Linux only)
STOP
The documentation provides on the reader and writer of OpenSsh configuration files. These details are not needed for the basic usages explained above.
Methods
These read/write functions are part of OpenSsh::Ssh read/write backend. They are declared in Ssh configuration model and are called back when needed to read the configuration file and write it back.
read (object => <ssh_root>, config_dir => ...)
Read ssh_config in config_dir and load the data in the ssh_root configuration tree.
write (object => <ssh_root>, config_dir => ...)
Write ssh_config in config_dir from the data stored in ssh_root configuration tree.
