Description Igor Bukanov 2015-04-15 21:43:44 AEST

It would be nice to allow to specify PidFile none or similar in sshd_config to prevent sshd from creating the pid file. Insistence on the pid file complicates running sshd with read-only file system which is possible with containers.

You can now say "PidFile none" in sshd_config but it looks like we need to also update the man page.

Thanks all.  I have committed the change (minor tweaks) and it will be in the 6.9 release.
