Now I am a little more confused...
What is the purpose of this file? :
/etc/conf.d/sshd
with this contents:
# /etc/conf.d/sshd: config file for /etc/init.d/sshd
# Where is your sshd_config file stored?
SSHD_CONFDIR="/etc/ssh"
# Any random options you want to pass to sshd.
# See the sshd(8) manpage for more info.
SSHD_OPTS=""
# Pid file to use (needs to be absolute path).
#SSHD_PIDFILE="/var/run/sshd.pid"
# Path to the sshd binary (needs to be absolute path).
#SSHD_BINARY="/usr/sbin/sshd"
if /etc/ssh/sshd_config is for configuration of sshd's options...for
what purpose is /etc/conf.d/sshd then ?
And what files gets overwritten when installing a new version of sshd?
Best regards,
