@cjwatson, I've been getting my work into the habit of deploying Debian
packages for all organization-wide system configuration files. So, when I
noticed the other day that openssh-client 7.3p1+ now supports include
directives I put together a new package that gives all of our internal users
no-login access to the systems that they need for their work. The exact ".d"
file I put together to do this is:
===
Match exec "getent hosts %h | grep -qE '^10\.10\.10\.'"
User root
StrictHostKeyChecking no
UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
IdentityFile /opt/insight/SLE-101_id_rsa
===
However, at the moment, for anyone to use this file I would need to modify
/etc/ssh/ssh_config by adding "Include /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d/*". While I can
do that, I know that it's not generally recommended to have a package modify
the config files of other packages. So, ideally, the default ssh_config file
would have an Include directive that allows me to simply place my ".d" file in
the appropriate ".d" directory such that it automatically gets included
whenever my custom package is installed.
