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the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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.
.The `sshd` RHEL System Role can be managed through `/etc/ssh/sshd_config`
The `sshd` RHEL System Role applied to a RHEL 9 managed node places the SSHD configuration in a drop-in directory (`/etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/00-ansible_system_role.conf` by default). Previously, any changes to the `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` file overwrote the default values in `00-ansible_system_role.conf`. With this update, you can manage SSHD by using `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` instead of `00-ansible_system_role.conf` while preserving the system default values in `00-ansible_system_role.conf`.
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. Customers should be able to optionally manage the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file on RHEL 9 instead of using 00-ansible_system_role.conf
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 9 beta
How reproducible:
Every time
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run playbook similar to this on RHEL 9 beta:
- hosts: localhost
become: true
roles:
- role: redhat.rhel_system_roles.sshd
vars:
sshd_config_file: /etc/ssh/sshd_config
sshd_skip_defaults: false
sshd:
PermitRootLogin: no
Actual results:
Generated /etc/ssh/sshd_config file:
# cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config
#
# Ansible managed
#
PermitRootLogin no
Expected results:
I would expect the role to populate the sshd_config file with the RHEL 9 default sshd_config settings, plus the PermitRootLogin setting that I specified.
