@Jernej Jakob: this is cited as 'released for 1.8.4'. There is a policy for stable distros, never update the version. I asked for a backport, did not get one. The 20.04 version is still at 1.8.2 and it does not has this feature that was introduced after this version. It was released for groovy, that is 20.10. But I had no right for it, I begged for it but was denied. That's life.
As of documentation, yes but it's a pretty obscure feature and Ubuntu devs don't have the responsability for writing man pages and there is no need to document a non-existent feature. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1885990 Title: server: Match has no effect in include file (upstream 3122) Status in portable OpenSSH: Unknown Status in openssh package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Hello Ubuntu version: focal 20.04 LTS Version: openssh-server: Installed: 1:8.2p1-4ubuntu0.1 Candidate: 1:8.2p1-4ubuntu0.1 Expected: match statement in included files work as documented in the fine manual What happens: the statements are ignored. If you add Match statements in an included file, it will generate no error but have no effect. The exact same statements work in the main server config file (/etc/ssh/sshd_config) this is to track upstream bug 3122: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3122 it's fixed but will only be in 8.4 so it affects Ubuntu 20.04 LTS where openssh is at 8.2. I'm not *absolutely* whining for a backport since include files is a new feature for openssl in focal so it's not a regression. Would be nice though :), because include files are standard for any server software in Linux since at least a decade...
