https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1892

           Summary: misleading hint in sshd_config
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 5.8p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: pcerny at suse.cz

default sshd_config patch

/etc/ssh/sshd_config:
"The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with
OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where possible,
but leave them commented.  Uncommented options change a default value."

Strictly speaking, the values are not changed by uncommenting alone. It
might be better to use something like "uncommenting overrides default
values" (patch attached).

Seems reasonable to me.  Applied, will be in 5.9.  Thanks.
