SSH-Server

This roles sets up a ssh server with its configuration on a Debian (based) system. It is used for the provision setup.

Requirements

One or multiple users must be member of the ssh_login group. Group Membership is not managed by this role.

SSH keys of the authorized users must be present in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file. Keys are not managed by this role.

Ansible role xamanu.user may be used to manage a default user with group membership and keys.

Configuration

-* Only connections with ssh key authentication are possible (no password login). -* root access is generally not allowed. -* Only users that are members of the ssh_login group can login through ssh. -* The group can be configured via the secure_ssh_group variable. -* Port is switched from 22 to the indicated value from the ansible variable secure_ssh_port, which can be specified conveniently in the ansible.hosts file.

This is work in progress and it is prefered to collaborate on it. Please communicate over the issue queue. Every pull request is highly appreciated.
