Problem of updating openssh-4.4p1 to openssh-5.5p1 with MAX_ALLOW_USERS option

[Акулов Алексей]

Hello, Damien.

I'm sory, may be I have told not exactly.
I understand, that defined variable MAX_ALLOW_USERS sets the maximum possible strings of "AllowUsers"-type in file "/etc/ssh/sshd_config".
In the version openssh-4.4p1 changing of this defined option makes possible to include big quality of "AllowUsers"-strings in file "/etc/ssh/sshd_config", but in the version openssh-5.5p1 this changes doesn't give similar results.
Tell me, please, why it may be occurs in version 5.5p1?
 
Thanks.

With the best regards, Alex.

  Those definitions don't do what you think they do. They are the number
  of users that can appear in AllowUsers/DenyUsers/AllowGroups/DenyGroups
  statement and have no effect on the number of users that are allowed to
  concurrently log in.
