[Nix-dev] OpenSSH impurity

[Peter Simons]

Hi,

the 'ssh' client from OpenSSH reads /etc/sshd/config. As it happens,
that file exists and contains settings OpenSSH doesn't understand
(because the file was installed by an entirely different SSH version
that's located in /usr). As a result, the ssh client from Nix doesn't
work.

Now I wonder: Should OpenSSH honor config files in /etc? Or ought that
to be considered an impurity?

Take care,
Peter
