-# Clan service: sshd
-What it does
-- Generates and persists SSH host keys via `vars`.
-- Optionally issues CA‑signed host certificates for servers.
-- Installs the `server` CA public key into `clients` `known_hosts` for TOFU‑less verification.
+The `sshd` Clan service manages SSH to make it easy to securely access your
+machines over the internet. The service uses `vars` to store the SSH host keys
+for each machine to ensure they remain stable across deployments.
 
+`sshd` also generates SSH certificates for both servers and clients allowing for
+certificate-based authentication for SSH.
 
-When to use it
-- Zero‑TOFU SSH for dynamic fleets: admins/CI can connect to frequently rebuilt hosts (e.g., server-1.example.com) without prompts or per‑host `known_hosts` churn.
+The service also disables password-based authentication over SSH, to access your
+machines you'll need to use public key authentication or certificate-based
+authentication.
 
-Roles
-- Server: runs sshd, presents a CA‑signed host certificate for `<machine>.<domain>`.
-- Client: trusts the CA for the given domains to verify servers’ certificates.
-  Tip: assign both roles to a machine if it should both present a cert and verify others.
-
-Quick start (with host certificates)
-Useful if you never want to get a prompt about trusting the ssh fingerprint.
-```nix
-{
-  inventory.instances = {
-    sshd-with-certs = {
-      module = { name = "sshd"; input = "clan-core"; };
-      # Servers present certificates for <machine>.example.com
-      roles.server.tags.all = { };
-      roles.server.settings = {
-        certificate.searchDomains = [ "example.com" ];
-        # Optional: also add RSA host keys
-        # hostKeys.rsa.enable = true;
-      };
-      # Clients trust the CA for *.example.com
-      roles.client.tags.all = { };
-      roles.client.settings = {
-        certificate.searchDomains = [ "example.com" ];
-      };
-    };
-  };
-}
-```
-
-Basic: only add persistent host keys (ed25519), no certificates
-Useful if you want to get an ssh "trust this server" prompt once and then never again. 
+## Usage
 ```nix
 {
   inventory.instances = {
+    # By default this service only generates ed25519 host keys
     sshd-basic = {
       module = {
         name = "sshd";
         input = "clan-core";
       };
       roles.server.tags.all = { };
+      roles.client.tags.all = { };
     };
-  };
-}
-```
-
-Example: selective trust per environment
-Admins should trust only production; CI should trust prod and staging. Servers are reachable under both domains.
-```nix
-{
-  inventory.instances = {
-    sshd-env-scoped = {
-      module = { name = "sshd"; input = "clan-core"; };
-
-      # Servers present certs for both prod and staging FQDNs
+    # Also generate RSA host keys for all servers
+    sshd-with-rsa = {
+      module = {
+        name = "sshd";
+        input = "clan-core";
+      };
       roles.server.tags.all = { };
       roles.server.settings = {
-        certificate.searchDomains = [ "prod.example.com" "staging.example.com" ];
-      };
-
-      # Admin laptop: trust prod only
-      roles.client.machines."admin-laptop".settings = {
-        certificate.searchDomains = [ "prod.example.com" ];
-      };
-
-      # CI runner: trust prod and staging
-      roles.client.machines."ci-runner-1".settings = {
-        certificate.searchDomains = [ "prod.example.com" "staging.example.com" ];
+        hostKeys.rsa.enable = true;
       };
+      roles.client.tags.all = { };
     };
   };
 }
 ```
-- Admin -> server1.prod.example.com: zero‑TOFU (verified via cert).
-- Admin -> server1.staging.example.com: falls back to TOFU (or is blocked by policy).
-- CI -> either prod or staging: zero‑TOFU for both.
-Note: server and client searchDomains don’t have to be identical; they only need to overlap for the hostnames you actually use.
-
-Notes
-- Connect using a name that matches a cert principal (e.g., `server1.example.com`); wildcards are not allowed inside the certificate.
-- CA private key stays in `vars` (not deployed); only the CA public key is distributed.
-- Logins still require your user SSH keys on the server (passwords are disabled).
