Somewhere in R81.20 JHF 54 thru 84, parsing with sshd_template_xlate changed

[Duane_Toler]

For a long while, I've been able to have some customizations to my SSHD configs in /etc/ssh/templates/sshd_config.templ and they were accepted by the XLATE parser just fine.  Somewhere been R81.20 JHF 54 through 84, "something" has changed and now the parser dies with a call to "sed":

[Expert@cpgw:0]# /bin/sshd_template_xlate < /config/active
sshd_config parsing starting.../usr/bin/sed: -e expression #1, char 4: unknown command: `
'
/usr/bin/sed: -e expression #1, char 4: unknown command: `
'

The edit I have is for my remote management host to allow for some extra SSHD options in a new "Match address ..." stanza.  

# Example of overriding settings on a per-user basis
#Match User anoncvs
#	X11Forwarding no
#	AllowTcpForwarding no
#	PermitTTY no
#	ForceCommand cvs server

Match address 0::0/0,0.0.0.0/0 
	PasswordAuthentication yes
Match address 192.0.2.1/32  # This is my remote host
	PasswordAuthentication yes
	AllowTcpForwarding yes
Match all

 I've moved that additional item around to other places and the error is the same.

What has changed, and why, and how can I get it working again?  This has worked for years and years.

It's also similarly broken on R82.
This is probably going to require a TAC case.
I'll flag R&D on the backend also.

I read through the JHF release notes and see some "SSH" related items but nothing jumped out as a suspect.  I'll open a TAC case about it, then.  Dang.

Do you want me to send you the SR when I open it or just let it run its course?

Send to me, please 🙂
