[gentoo-dev] sshd_config contains a typo in gentoo-security document on the website

Hi gentoo-dev,

after checking up on the gentoo-security doc for some handy modifications i decided to change a few settings for my sshd_config. After i saved the new config, i tried of course to restart, but sshd gave me the error bad option AllowGroup linenumber:<some_number>. Since i found this a bit odd, i did some checking on the rest of the config and noticed AllowUsers was plural and AllowGroup was single.I suspected that this was the problem and after a verification with the sshd-manual on the OpenSSH-site this could be confirmed.
Thus:
change AllowGroup into AllowGroups
and sshd should be working.

I'd like to see this small bug resolved in the near-future, since this is just a typo that can keep people busy for quite awhile.

And the bug has been corrected .. its just not uploaded yet due to a
