Hi,
After I make changes in /etc/bastion/bastion.conf, what should I do to make those settings effected? I can't find anything related on https://ovh.github.io
And can you also please update related content in documentation?
Thank you!

Hello,

There is nothing to restart when you make changes there because the settings are read for each new session. This can be explained because there's no "the bastion daemon" listening for connections: we hand this off to the OpenSSH server, and only once the SSH connection is established, then the bastion code starts to run under the account's system user, and that's when the settings are read.

I'll add a note in the documentation to explain this, thanks for the suggestion!
