Don't know.. Other projects tend to provide notifications on testing 
configurations (apache does), but Darren's patch is wrong.

+	/* Determine directory path to PidFile */
+	if (strrchr(options.pid_file, '/') != NULL) {
+		path = xstrdup(options.pid_file);
+		*(strrchr(path, '/')+1) = '\0';
+	} else
+		path = xstrdup(".");


Fails when the admin is insane and does:  "/my/loc/my\/myfile.pid"

Since it will not decide if the / has been escaped or not.


I don't have a strong feeling either way (For the record, I don't use
the pid file for tracking the sshd).
