Hi,
	I noticed on the latest openssh MFC, the previous behaviour of sshd
checking both authorized_keys2 and authorized_keys is no longer the
default.


# The default is to check both .ssh/authorized_keys and
.ssh/authorized_keys2
# but this is overridden so installations will only check
.ssh/authorized_keys
AuthorizedKeysFile      .ssh/authorized_keys


vs


# The default is to check both .ssh/authorized_keys and
.ssh/authorized_keys2
# but this is overridden so installations will only check
.ssh/authorized_keys
#AuthorizedKeysFile      .ssh/authorized_keys

in sshd_config.

Is there a reason why this was done ?
