    Better give the command to add the user "sshd", 1 line of command can be more descriptive to people who want to add it and also makes more sense of why is the line necessary.
    I suppose it is just useradd command.

    Thanks a lot, that solved it immediately ! I guess I should have chosen to use privilege separated in the setup ?
