I see, that makes sense. Thinking about it, I probably can't put the
configuration in users.<name?>.xx anyway, since it will collide with
a lot of other stuff (like users.ldap.xx for example). Would it make
sense to put it in user.<name?>.openssh.xx instead?
Or is "user" and "users" too easy to mix up?
