Your tone doesn't bother me. I think it's been a good discussion.

It's been a while since I messed around with all this, but if memory
serves, it's not that simple or I surely would be running that way
right now. I'm pretty sure you can't start a second instance of sshd
without digging into some of the other files mentioned earlier in this
thread.

And I repeat, I don't think it's that simple, and maybe that's the
crux of our debate. If it really is that simple then I must concede
that no further changes are necessary, but I think if you tried it you
would see that it's not as straightforward as you say, and you would
modify your position.

Perhaps you have a point here.

I like Scott's suggestion of providing examples in the docs. This
would be a time saver for people like me who don't know sshd and all
its files inside and out, and a step in the right direction.
