- Urgent
It seems v7 no longer allows a custom sshd_config file to be used. In the past the contents of /boot/config/ssh were copied into /etc/ssh/ prior to the ssh service coming up. It seems this remains true except for the sshd_config file. I cannot see any evidence in a change log about this change?
So either /etc/ssh/sshd_config was already existing in v6 and -n was added to the copy command within rc.sshd OR /etc/ssh/sshd_config is a new static file which is what I'm leaning towards. I suspect the creation of an industry standard /boot/config/ssh/sshd_config.d/custom.conf is in order but it does not seem the at present /etc/ssh/sshd_config will allow piggyback loading of conf files? I do prefer this route but intially finding no documentation that /boot/config/ssh/sshd_config was deprecated.
In the interim, how does one disable password authentication for the root user over SSH or allow custom sshd_config options?
