(Been there, done that with /etc/sudoers.d and > /etc/profile.d.) That's for this reason that my original proposal was only to include a SHOULD mention to the manpage, like "Included files should go to a ssh_config.d directory in order to be detected as such by external tools". Would that make more sense to you ? If not, do you have any suggestion regarding the original problem of detecting ssh configuration files now that any file can be included ? -- Alexis 'Horgix' Chotard _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
