Well one get's still a mux process and also the messages (when debugging

they're blocked.
Yes, the debugging is quite tricky, if you use -ddd you see more temporary sessions allocated and cleaned (to make sure there will be place to accommodate and to store some ongoing data?), but they do not persist through all your connection.

I don't know if you use openssh from some distribution
Debian.

, but in RHEL we
had recently one bug in audit which looks similar like your issue --
with MaxSessions 1 sshd was preventing to log you in.
Well I don't really think I have any issues... I just wondered whether
there are any other side-effects than having influence on the channel
muxing ... perhaps something like "only accept 1 session from the same
IP, even when not muxing".
It should be only for mux (if I'm wrong, correct me). From  man:
>> ... sessions permitted per network connection
which is use case of multiplexed connection.

What is the issue you guys found?
It was combination of (forced)command, pty and auditing. This combination was using 2 sessions instead of one and if there was MaxSessions 2, second connection took down even the first one.
