FYI- I have attached a finalized version of the X11MaxDisplays patch to the mindrot bugzilla. https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2580 The issues with variable naming, whitespace and other style issues are addressed and I've added documentation to sshd_config I appreciate any feedback, but I think this is in pretty good shape to be considered. Thx.
