I've since tested by placing the Include option at the top of the
config, and it works.
I had assumed positioning was irrelevant, or that it should check
/etc/ssh/sshd_config.d by default as described in the man pages:
```
Note that the Debian openssh-server package sets several options as standard in
/etc/ssh/sshd_config which are not the default in sshd(8):
• Include /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/*.conf
• ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
• X11Forwarding yes
• PrintMotd no
• AcceptEnv LANG LC_*
• Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server
• UsePAM yes
/etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/*.conf files are included at the start of the
configuration file, so options set there will override those in
/etc/ssh/sshd_config.
```
Or does this not apply to Ubuntu 20.04?

Title:
sshd_config.d overrides not working
Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Creating an sshd_config override file under /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/
does not override settings from /etc/ssh/sshd_config
From debugging sshd, I can see the override file is indeed being read,
and the option is supposedly set. But after testing, the options are
not taking effect.
Specifically, in the main sshd_config, I have disabled PasswordAuthentication
In my override file, PasswordAuthentication is enabled
Yet, when connecting to the server, it only checks public/private
keys.
This is for an environment where we have our default sshd_config, and in
specific use-cases, we might enable PasswordAuthentication for some servers.
