+======================
+
+NAME
+----
+cdist-type__hwclock - Manage the hardware real time clock.
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This type can be used to control how the hardware clock is used by the operating
+system.
+
+
+REQUIRED PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+mode
+    What mode the hardware clock is in.
+
+    Acceptable values:
+
+    localtime
+        The hardware clock is set to local time (common for systems also running
+        Windows.)
+    UTC
+        The hardware clock is set to UTC (common on UNIX systems.)
+
+
+OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+None.
+
+
+BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
+------------------
+None.
+
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # Make the operating system treat the time read from the hwclock as UTC.
+    __hwclock --mode UTC
+

+cdist-type__localedef(7)
+========================
+
+NAME
+----
+cdist-type__localedef - Define and remove system locales
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This cdist type allows you to define locales on the system using
+:strong:`localedef`\ (1) or remove them.
+On systems that don't support definition of new locales, the type will raise an
+error.
+
+**NB:** This type respects the glibc ``locale.alias`` file,
+i.e. it defines alias locales or deletes aliases of a locale when it is removed.
+It is not possible, however, to use alias names to define locales or only remove
+certain aliases of a locale.
+
+
+OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+state
+   ``present`` or ``absent``. Defaults to ``present``.
+
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # Add locale de_CH.UTF-8
+    __localedef de_CH.UTF-8
+
+    # Same as above, but more explicit
+    __localedef de_CH.UTF-8 --state present
+
+    # Remove colourful British English
+    __localedef en_GB.UTF-8 --state absent
+
+

+cdist-type__sshd_config(7)
+==========================
+
+NAME
+----
+cdist-type__sshd_config - Manage options in sshd_config
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This space intentionally left blank.
+
+
+REQUIRED PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+None.
+
+
+OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+file
+    The path to the sshd_config file to edit.
+    Defaults to ``/etc/ssh/sshd_config``.
+match
+    Restrict this option to apply only for certain connections.
+    Allowed values are what would be allowed to be written after a ``Match``
+    keyword in ``sshd_config``, e.g. ``--match 'User anoncvs'``.
+
+    Can be used multiple times. All of the values are ANDed together.
+option
+    The name of the option to manipulate. Defaults to ``__object_id``.
+state
+    Can be:
+
+    - ``present``: ensure a matching config line is present (or the default
+      value).
+    - ``absent``: ensure no matching config line is present.
+value
+    The option's value to be assigned to the option (if ``--state present``) or
+    removed (if ``--state absent``).
+
+    This option is required if ``--state present``. If not specified and
+    ``--state absent``, all values for the given option are removed.
+
+
+BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
+------------------
+None.
+
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # Disallow root logins with password
+    __sshd_config PermitRootLogin --value without-password
+
+    # Disallow password-based authentication
+    __sshd_config PasswordAuthentication --value no
+
+    # Accept the EDITOR environment variable
+    __sshd_config AcceptEnv:EDITOR --option AcceptEnv --value EDITOR
+
+    # Force command for connections as git user
+    __sshd_config git@ForceCommand --match 'User git' --option ForceCommand \
+        --value 'cd ~git && exec git-shell ${SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND:+-c "${SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND}"}'
+
+
+SEE ALSO
+--------
+:strong:`sshd_config`\ (5)
+
+
+BUGS
+----
+- This type assumes a nicely formatted config file,
+  i.e. no config options spanning multiple lines.
+- ``Include`` directives are ignored.
+- Config options are not added/removed to/from the config file if their value is
+  the default value.
