• custom backend. Supported, but this backend will discard all comments in sshd_config

• augeas: Will keep comments. Requires Config::Model::Backend::Augeas.

CAVEATS

Original structure and comments of /etc/sshd/config are lost during edition if Config::Model::Backend::Augeas and its dependencies are not installed.
