Description Toni Dietze 2020-05-18 03:38:07 AEST 
The Include keyword in sshd config files supports globbing. The man page does not define the order of includes when globbing matches several filenames, however, order is important because “[f]or each keyword, the first obtained value will be used.”

Thanks, I've updated the manpages to mention they process in lexical order:

> Include the specified configuration file(s).
> Multiple pathnames may be specified and each pathname may contain
> .Xr glob 7
>-wildcards.
>+wildcards that will be expanded and processed in lexical order.
