-cdist-type__debian_backports(7)
-===============================
-
-NAME
-----
-cdist-type__apt_backports - Install backports
-
-
-DESCRIPTION
------------
-This singleton type installs backports for the current OS release.
-It aborts if backports are not supported for the specified OS or
-no version codename could be fetched (like Debian unstable).
-
-The package index will be automatically updated if required.
-
-It supports backports from following OSes:
-
-- Debian
-- Devuan
-- Ubuntu
-
-
-REQUIRED PARAMETERS
--------------------
-None.
-
-
-OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
--------------------
-state
-    Represents the state of the backports repository. ``present`` or
-    ``absent``, defaults to ``present``.
-
-    Will be directly passed to :strong:`cdist-type__apt_source`\ (7).
-
-mirror
-    The mirror to fetch the backports from. Will defaults to the generic
-    mirror of the current OS.
-
-    Will be directly passed to :strong:`cdist-type__apt_source`\ (7).
-
-
-BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
-------------------
-None.
-
-
-MESSAGES
---------
-None.
-
-
-EXAMPLES
---------
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
-   # setup the backports
-   __apt_backports
-   __apt_backports --state absent
-   __apt_backports --state present --mirror "http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/"
-
-   # install a backports package
-   # currently for the buster release backports
-   require="__apt_backports" __package_apt wireguard \
-        --target-release buster-backports
-
-
-ABORTS
-------
-Aborts if the detected os is not Debian.
-
-Aborts if no distribuition codename could be detected. This is common for the
-unstable distribution, but there is no backports repository for it already.
-
-
-CAVEATS
--------
-For Ubuntu, it setup all componenents for the backports repository: ``main``,
-``restricted``, ``universe`` and ``multiverse``. The user may not want to
-install proprietary packages, which will only be installed if the user
-explicitly uses the backports target-release. The user may change this behavior
-to install backports packages without the need of explicitly select it.

 -----------
 This cdist type deploys an init script that triggers
 the configured rules and also re-applies them on
-configuration. Rules are written from __iptables_rule
-into the folder ``/etc/iptables.d/``.
-
-It reads all rules from the base folder as rules for IPv4.
-Rules in the subfolder ``v6/`` are IPv6 rules. Rules in
-the subfolder ``all/`` are applied to both rule tables. All
-files contain the arguments for a single ``iptables`` and/or
-``ip6tables`` command.
-
-Rules are applied in the following order:
-1. All IPv4 rules
-2. All IPv6 rules
-2. All rules that should be applied to both tables
-
-The order of the rules that will be applied are definite
-from the result the shell glob returns, which should be
-alphabetical. If rules must be applied in a special order,
-prefix them with a number like ``02-some-rule``.

-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}"}'

-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.
-- | The explorer will incorrectly report ``absent`` if OpenSSH internally
-    transforms one value to another (e.g. ``permitrootlogin prohibit-password``
-    is transformed to ``permitrootlogin without-password``).
-  | Workaround: Use the value that OpenSSH uses internally.

-# Copyright (c) 2021 Alexander Sieg
-
-# cconn is a transparent wrapper that allows seamless usage of sudo/rsync and
-# FreeBSD jails, this makes it possible to configure a FreeBSD by just using
-# the host system sshd. 
-# Configuration is done by throw the cdist invertory system.
-#
-#
-# Installation:
-#
-# Simply set this script as remote_exec and remote_copy implementation in your
-# cdist.cfg. You MUST always pass either copy or exec as the first parameter
-# to this script
-#
-# remote_exec = path/to/cconn exec
-# remote_copy = path/to/cconn copy
-#
-# As cconn uses the cdist inventory system for host specific configuration, it
-# ether need to be executed from the directory the contains the inventory
-# directory or be setting the INVENTORY environment variable to path were the
-# inventory entries are kept.
-#
-# Usage:
-# 
-# To setup a host to use some form of connection "bending" (e.g. sudo) you need
-# to add a single __cconn_options tag to the host inventory file. Options are always a
-# key value pair separated by a '='. All options are passed in a single tag and
-# a separated by a space.
-#
-# __cconn_options options:
-#
-# NOTE: jail_host and iocage_jail can not be used at the same time and will
-# lead to a error
-#
-# jail_host: 
-#    hostname on which the FreeBSD jail resides on. 
-#
-# iocage_host:
-#    Same as jail_host, but for jails managed by iocage(8)
-#
-# jail_name:
-#    By default cconn will use the __target_host as the FreeBSD jail name, set
-#    this option to override this name
-#
-# sudo_user:
-#    Username used to connect to the __target_host, all commands are then
-#    prefixed with sudo and copy operations are done with rsync
-#
-#    For this work you need to be able to execute all command without password entry.
-#    sudoers(5)
-#    %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
-#
-#Examples: 
-#
-# inventory/jail.example.com:
-#     some_other_tag
-#     __cconn_options jail_host=example.com sudo_user=ada 
-#
-
-
-#TODO: add sudo_pass and sudo_passfile option to support use without NOPASSWD
-#TODO: support SSH connection multiplexing. This requieres a patch to cdist, as
-# we need path to the tmp dir.
