Report and Reset SSH via Casper

[qsodji]

Wanted to share a few scripts that allow me to find the status of ssh on my clients but also reset those that for some reason have ssh turned off.

As always feedbacks are welcome.

Just had a read through. Good work!

I've used ```
nc -z localhost 22
``` in the past to check for connectivity.

I haven't enabled it this way before. Just curious what these lines in ssh_config are for:

• SyslogFacility AUTHPRIV
• AcceptEnv LANG LC_*
• Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/sftp-server

They are the defaults enabled keys/values in sshd_config file. I wanted to leave it as simple as found, though I have also tested it with an empty sshd_config file and it works.

Ah ok, thanks for confirming. I wondered if it was some "magic" I hadn't heard of ;)

oh... I see what you did there. Thank you for the vote of confidence!
