Thank you for taking time to fill this feature request. We appreciate the feedback and look to use reports such as this to guide our efforts at improving our products. But this bug tracking system is not a mechanism for requesting support. Please, raise a ticket through your regular Red Hat Support to achieve correct attention and prioritization. Pushing new features requires appropriate business justification.
Please, connect with your regular support if it is still actual for you. Now moving to the next release.
I will reach out to those folks.
Created attachment 1092713 [details] Rebased upstream patch Rebased patch for our version from these upstream commits (with upstream test case): https://anongit.mindrot.org/openssh.git/commit/?id=fbcf827559b38f7992e1bd0bcdc4b4ccdf63bc74 https://anongit.mindrot.org/openssh.git/commit/?id=301390316cf73fc50d769691ed7f95c21ea6646a Upstream testsuite passes on my testing build. I think we can cover also this one in the next release. The patch is not large, makes the Match handling more transparent and doesn't look like breaking anything.
