This is my first attempt at setting up a dynamic template so i'm not
surprised it's screwy. It's loosely based on similar modules I've seen
online and what I've gathered from read the documentation.

Basically what i want is to specify a 'default' sshd_config, based on the
template, with the ability to change things like AllowGroups/User,
sftp-server options, etc.

I'll give these changes a try and let you know how things turn out.

Thanks!
