Options for copy the configuration file of "SSH" service.

1. By default its using template for ssh configuration "${path}/templates/sshd_config.erb". 2. "${path}/files/sshd_config" file copy to remote host "${path}/files/sshd_config".

If you want to use "${path}/files/sshd_config" file instead of template , change as follows

change "copy_config" into "yes" and "template_config" into "no". Use:

        sftpd::config { 'sshd_config':
	       	copy_config             => yes,
	       	template_config         => no,
        }

If the selinux disabled on agent . If it "yes", It may take little bit time to set the boolean paramater for selinux.

	sftpd::config { 'sshd_config':
                selenable	=>  no,
        }
