Hey.

I think it might be reasonable to print a warning for every non-existant/non-readable/etc. file that is Include(d) when ssh/sshd is started.

This should typically only happen for non-wildcard files/patterns, and for them I think it makes sense, as the user intentionally wanted a specific filename to be included.

Should you consider my issue #3388 for implementation, I'd suggest that such warnings are only printed for sshd, not for ssh, because if someone really wanted a file then, IncludeMandatory could be used... and otherwise the warnings would perhaps be a bit annoying for the client.


Thanks,
Chris.
