ssh config reset after reboot

I made certain changes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config file in my R81.20 mgmt server. However it does not survive reboot and resets to default state. Is there any command to make it permanent ? i never encountered this in R80.40

From R80.40 JHF 83, you will need to make any manual changes to sshd_config in the following file: /etc/ssh/templates/sshd_config.templ 
This is required since it is possible to change certain SSH settings from clish/WebUI.
The above file is the "template" the actual sshd_config is generated from.
It's a much better solution than setting the immutable bit on sshd_config itself.

And don't forget to translate the template after editing the template file:

/bin/sshd_template_xlate < /config/active

before reloading sshd.

Mentioned e.g. in sk106031.
