sshd can not run extended tests without specifying match rules
Hi. I was trying to use "sshd -T" to check my ssh configuration. In my sshd_config file I have some Match rules, which I don't want to test, according to sshd manual pages (version 7.7_p1) the Match rules don't need to be applied, it's optional: "Optionally, Match rules may be applied by specifying the connection parameters using one or more -C options". Also, in sshd.c line 1823 it creates a blank "connection info" which according to the comment, "will cause no predicate to match.". But when I execute sshd -T, the next error is shown: "'Match User' in configuration but 'user' not in connection test specification.", obviously if I specify a value for user it works, but in my case I need to ignore Match rules. Is it intended or is a bug? In the first case case, how can I ignore the Match rules? Thanks
