openssh bugs - Dec 2013 - [Bug 2184] New: sshd_config Match block clarification

https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2184

            Bug ID: 2184
           Summary: sshd_config Match block clarification
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 6.4p1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: sshd
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: jmales at gmail.com

Created attachment 2388
  --> https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/attachment.cgi?id=2388&action=edit
man page update in diff format

The man 5 sshd_config fails to clarify what happens when multiple
qualifying Match blocks specify the same configuration option.  This
patch updates the man page to do so.

I tested the behaviour and described what was empirically observed.  I
can only assume this is the desired behaviour.

This is a first attempt.  If format or something else is off, let me
know; I'll be happy to adjust.

----
Match
Introduces a conditional block.  If all of the criteria on the Match
line are satisfied, the keywords on the following lines override those
set in the global section of the config file, until either another
Match line or the end of the file. If multiple Match blocks are
satisfied, and a keyword is specified multiple times, the first Match
block instance of the keyword is honored.

Looks reasonable.  I might tweak the wording a little.

FYI: stylistically, sentences should start on a new line (it's not a
problem, I'll change that).

Thanks.
