[Bug 1305418] [NEW] Broken SSHD configuration on Ubuntu 13.10 with latest walinuxagent update

[Stephen A. Zarkos]

Public bug reported:

After installing the latest walinuxagent package on Ubuntu 13.10 I see
that we end up with a broken configuration in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.  The
last line in that file looks like the following:

   UsePAM yesClientAliveInterval 180

This is the result of the agent package re-running "waagent -setup,"
which wants to append the "ClientAliveInterval 180" parameter to
/etc/ssh/sshd_config to avoid timeouts with the Azure load balancer
(which has a 4 minute timeout).  But currently waagent assumes there is
a "\n" at the end of this file.

We could fix this bug in the agent to always add "\n" to the front of
this parameter (maybe a good idea) or there may be another way to fix
this.
