Gordon,

Thanks, I did as suggested, but I'm now locked out from remote access! BTW,
I had to create the directory path to
/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/ssh/sshd_config/ first (3 lowest levels).
Does that surprise you?

Mark.

Good. We'll test further and make that an official update soon.

Ah, it is supported now, but sftp is not enabled by default. This is the
template fragment:

/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/ssh/sshd_config/50SubsystemSftp

{
# Uncomment if you want to enable sftp
#Subsystem      sftp    /usr/libexec/sftp-server
#MaxStartups 10:30:60
}

Copy it to /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/ssh/sshd_config/50SubsystemSftp
and remove the comments. Run "/sbin/e-smith/signal-event
remoteaccess-update"
to see if that does the trick.

That template should probably check whether this subsystem is enabled
for the sshd service, defaulting to "disabled".

No, sftp is disabled on the server - see above.
