Handle RHEL 7 STIG renumbering 
This patch gets the docs adjusted to work with the new RHEL 7 STIG
version 1 release. The new STIG release has changed all of the
numbering, but it maintains a link to (most) of the old STIG IDs in
the XML.

---id: V-72265 status: implemented tag: sshd ---

The UsePrivilegeSeparation configuration is set to sandbox in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and sshd is restarted.

Deployers can opt out of this change by setting the following Ansible variable:

security_sshd_enable_privilege_separation: no

Note

Although the STIG requires this setting to be yes, the sandbox setting actually provides more security because it enables privilege separation during the early authentication process.
