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.

Fixed In Version: rhel-system-roles-1.22.0-0.13.el8
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
.New option in the `ssh` role to disable configuration backups You can now prevent old configuration files from being backed up before they are overwritten by setting the new `ssh_backup` option to `false`. Previously, backup configuration files were created automatically, which might be unnecessary. The default value of the `ssh_backup` option is `true`, which preserves the original behavior.

Description Rich Megginson 2023-06-22 13:26:13 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2216753 +++

Instead of backing up the existing config file every time before applying the changes, have a new option ssh_backup which the user can use to tell the role to not backup the file.  The default is true, backup the file.  see https://github.com/linux-system-roles/ssh/pull/91
