Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Text:
.The `sshd` RHEL System Role verifies the include directive for the drop-in directory The `sshd` RHEL System Role on RHEL 9 manages only a file in the drop-in directory, but previously did not verify that the directory is included from the main `sshd_config` file. With this update, the role verifies that `sshd_config` contains the include directive for the drop-in directory. As a result, the role more reliably applies the provided configuration.

Description Brian Smith 2022-02-08 16:33:57 UTC
Description of problem:
The sshd RHEL System Role, when run on a RHEL 9 managed node, by default places the configuration in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/00-ansible_system_role.conf  This assumes that the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file has a line at the top with "Include > /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/*.conf".  This line is in the default sshd_config file on RHEL 9, however it should not be assumed that it is there (for example a customer might have previously used a different tool to manage the sshd_config file and this tool might not have included this line in the file).  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 9 beta

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Edit the sshd_config file and remove the "Include > /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/*.conf" line
2.  Run the sshd System Role to set the sshd configuration on the system
3.  The configuration does not take effect

Comment 2 Jakub Jelen 2022-05-02 18:42:40 UTC
This should be fixed with the following upstream PR: https://github.com/willshersystems/ansible-sshd/pull/178

Feedback/testing/comments welcomed.

Comment 6 Jakub Jelen 2022-05-17 06:59:24 UTC
The upstream test in tests/tests_include_present.yml verifies this use case.
