Doc Text:	.The SSHD RHEL System Role now supports non-exclusive configuration snippets With this feature, you can configure SSHD through different roles and playbooks without rewriting the previous configurations by using namespaces. Namespaces are similar to a drop-in directory, and define non-exclusive configuration snippets for SSHD. As a result, you can use the SSHD RHEL System Role from a different role, if you need to configure only a small part of the configuration and not the entire configuration file.	Story Points:	---

Description Rich Megginson 2021-06-10 21:49:48 UTC

Description of problem:
By default, the variables provided to this role role define whole content of the configuration file (with potential system defaults). To allow this role to be invoked from other roles or from multiple places in a single playbook on systems that do not support drop-in directory, we can define namespaces, that will allow us place configuration snippets idempotently into a single configuration file.
