For question 1: I want the server side to be able to adapt to any configuration of the client but I can't control that configuration in sshd, do I need to modify the code? For question 2:If I want to control the total number of active sessions, I need to modify the system login module, which is not directly determined by sshd? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching someone on the CC list of the bug.
