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.
