Bug ID: 3859
Summary: Multiple occurences of MaxStartups are note processed
in the order specified
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 8.7p1
Hardware: amd64
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: sshd
Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
Reporter: jan.v.hofmann at gmail.com
Hi,
when setting MaxStartups multiple times in sshd_config or included
files, I noticed that the last obtained value will be used, not the
first as is stated in the man pages.
To reproduce, set in sshd_config:
MaxStartups 50:40:100
MaxStartups 100:30:1000
Then run `sshd -T | grep -i max` and you will see maxstartups
100:30:1000.
