It took me a long time to understand a line like
'DenyUsers user1,user2'
wont affect user1 nor user2. It needs to read
'DenyUsers user1 user2'
separated by spaces, as precised in the manpage

As ',' is not allowed as a login character, it could be helpful
at least to warn when parsing such a buggy config file.

cheers,
paul
