Description

In order to run a user with scponly privileges
(see: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/185794/there-s-absolutely-no-useful-documentation-on-user-system-copy-files-to-home-directory-chrooted-scp )
I would need to add these lines to /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Match User username
    ChrootDirectory /home/username
    ForceCommand internal-sftp

But I can't. I'm sure there are other reasons why someone might want to add options there, but since the file is dynamically created when the system boots, there's not much one can meaningfully change there, much less in a way that's persistent with saving and restoring a system configuration.
