Bug 2532

Summary: MaxSessions config parameter name is highly ambigious
Product: Portable OpenSSH Reporter: DarkTrick <DarkTrick>
Component: sshdAssignee: Assigned to nobody <unassigned-bugs>
Status: CLOSED DUPLICATE    
Severity: normal CC: jjelen
Priority: P5    
Version: 7.1p1   
Hardware: All   
OS: Linux   

Description DarkTrick 2016-01-25 00:14:49 AEDT 
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.
