            Bug ID: 2532
           Summary: MaxSessions config parameter name is highly ambigious
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 7.1p1
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: sshd
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: DarkTrick at outlook.de

The MaxSessions config parameter for the sshd-conf file let the user
assume, that this parameter will limit the maximal sessions possible
through ssh (this is also what conclusion the explanation of the
parameter would lead to).
However, regarding to the changelog it has a slightly different meaning
(see changelog)

My Suggestions:
Change the name of the entry or change the resulting behaviour.
