Sometimes you get warnings, and sometimes you don't?  That's a red flag
right off the bat.

Is this "logwatch" thing run by a crontab entry, or by a systemd timer?

Are the ones that give warnings run by a *different* crontab entry, or
a *different* systemd timer?

My first guess is that there's another sshd_config file somewhere else
that it's reading, on the occasions where you get the warnings, possibly
due to a second crontab entry or whatever.

Or maybe logwatch has a configuration file that defines different tasks
depending on the day, and one of the tasks is set to read the wrong file?
