Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and trying to make Ubuntu better.
Could you please share your config files (anonymizing any necessary data)? The config file might be loaded but depending on the ordering and the content inside the config files the option you are setting can be overriden. I am setting this bug to Incomplete until you provided the requested information. Once that's done please set the bug status back to New. ** Changed in: openssh (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2012298 Title: PasswordAuthenticaion in sshd_config.d Status in openssh package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The stanza Match User <username> PasswordAuthentication no in /etc/ssh/sshd_config works as expected.
