Yes, sure, sorry. I meant you edit line 1 and don't get that it gets overridden in line 3 (which is several lines down in the config). But what's worse in general, the default value I will expect when I read "# GSSAPIAuthentication no" is "no," and I do not expect to have it overridden, and eventually the active setting is "yes" (through the last line). It is at least bad style, in my opinion. I shouldn't have to question every line as a user.


1 #   GSSAPIAuthentication no
2 [...several config lines...]
3 GSSAPIAuthentication yes
