unsure. i think the rc file isn't read at all, yeah? then i think some sshd config drop in ought to be added to the installer unless you have better ideas I wonder if we couldn't do something in nixpkgs that would be a ready-to-go sshd that's specific to ssh-ng 🤔 | 21:44:39 |

As in, it doesn't depend on outside state, and is configured exclusively for use with being used as a Nix builder.

the actual more reasonable thing here is a ssh service/subsystem/whateveritis like sftp | 21:48:56 |

| @jade_:matrix.org | subsystem seems like the absolute cleanest way of doing this tbqh, but putting PATH stuff in a drop in for sshd_config somewhere would also work | 21:55:44 |

I agree after reading the docs on subsystem that a nix subsystem would be 🔥 | 22:12:49 |
| @jade_:matrix.org | at least archlinux has /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d | 22:14:48 |

| @jade_:matrix.org | but i am guessing it is a distro thing maybe? | 22:15:04 |
| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | That would be super lame. | 22:15:14 |
| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | Of course it is: https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/openssh-server/sshd_config.5.en.html
Note that the Debian openssh-server package sets several options as standard in /etc/ssh/sshd_config which are not the default in sshd(8):
Include /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/*.conf
| 22:23:46 |
| @jade_:matrix.org | fixing bad distro decisions in the installer seems a bit questionable, because of peoples jank configuration management systems or suchlike | 22:36:32 |
| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | yeah, running a completely separate sshd seems more kosher to me. | 23:00:30 |
|  pbsds joined the room. | 23:13:13 |
| pbsds | i'm looking at a doc PR which has a 23.11 backport label. Is it common to backport doc fixups? | 23:14:07 |
