[chef] openssh Cookbook - why default attribute default['openssh']['client']['host'] = '*' - override?

[Alexander Skwar < >]

Hello

In the openssh Cookbook from Supermarket @ supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/openssh, the attributes file for the "client section" contains this:

default['openssh']['client']['host'] = '*'

See github.com/chef-cookbooks/openssh/blob/master/attributes/default.rb#L57

​Short question: How do I get rid of this, without having to modify the openssh/attributes/default.rb file; ie. from my own cookbook, which has a "include_recipe "openssh"" somewhere.​

​Because of that, the generated /etc/ssh/ssh_config file contains at least this:

$ cat /etc/ssh/ssh_config 

# This file was generated by Chef for host

# Do NOT modify this file by hand!

Host *

​

Ie., there's at least a "Host *" entry. And the way I have it now, all my attributes are below that; ie. my ssh_config file reads:

$ cat /etc/ssh/ssh_config 

# This file was generated by Chef for host

# Do NOT modify this file by hand!

Host *

GlobalKnownHostsFile /var/lib/sss/pubconf/known_hosts

PubkeyAuthentication yes

VerifyHostKeyDNS no

#VerifyHostKeyDNS:No-SonstIstEsZuLangsam no

HostKeyAlgorithms ssh-rsa,ssh-dss

ProxyCommand /usr/bin/sss_ssh_knownhostsproxy -p %p %h

That's not quite what I want. I don't want that "Host *" line there.

Thanks a lot,

Alexander
