New issue 14 by molost...@gmail.com: A feature request.
http://code.google.com/p/openssh-lpk/issues/detail?id=14
I have read the story from debian/ubuntu bug conversations regarding
inclusion into these distros a deb package with lpk patch, and I have a
feature request: please build deb packages disregarding to their opinion,
since users have their own, and still want to use this useful extended
functionality.
As an evolution of this functionality I can offer an idea of moving all of
sshd config into ldap directory stored schema, like isc-dhcpd did. This can
solve the problem with compatibility against "there complicated
configuration optionss from upstream" (raised from debian people), at
least, and provide more usefulness at most, as sshd will be configured
entirely (server and clients) from ldap directory.
The best way to setup such behaviour is to set specific environment
variable in /etc/default/sshd , or even using host defaults from
/etc/ldap/ldap.conf to get basic ldap/lpk specific settings by querying
onto a lpkServer object (it is for an example, as isc-dhcpd does for now).
This way their wishes will be satisfied since no new options added directly
into sshd_config file.
