https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2351

            Bug ID: 2351
           Summary: sshd: conf.d directory for configuration snippets
                    (similar to nginx or apache)
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 6.7p1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: sshd
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: lmwangi at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,
 It would be nice if sshd had a config directory in the same vein as
/etc/nginx/conf.d/ on Debian. This would allow third party packages to
add config directives without mangling sshd_config.

As an example, I would like to add support for sftp-internal iff a
specific package is installed (For sftp only access to a chrooted
path). If there was a conf.d directory, the installer package could
have dropped the relevant config block and SIGHUP'd sshd. With the
current setup, I'll probably be forced to replace the existing
/etc/ssh/sshd_config with an appropriate one.

Please note that I had filed this against Debian (Bug#778675) and there
was a suggestion that this should be fixed upstream (to spread the
benefit :)

Cheers,
Laban
