This is also true @jlehtone , but most people know about the configurations listed directly and explicitly in the **/etc/ssh/sshd\_config** file and when the ssh packages are updated it doesn’t matter which file has your updates there will be an _rpmsave_ file created. As such, you will realize the package was updated and you **may need** to copy back your configurations (_most of the time not_); so leaving your custom changes in a file that is regularly checked makes it easier for troubleshooting than putting the custom changes into a file that is rarely reviewed if at all.
