6 Hi there,

8 Curiosity caused me to Google the configuration you gave & led me to <http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/infrastructure/config-ssh.xml
9 >. This is not a guide for end-users - this configuration is
10 mandatory ONLY if the machine you're configuring is to be globally
11 addressable as hostname.gentoo.org

13 I might also add that the "ServerKeyBits 2048" line of this
14 configuration appears to be rendered redundant by the "Protocol 2"
15 line - unless you're an expert I would just stick with the default /
16 etc/ssh/sshd_config and only change the parts that you think
17 appropriate. (I personally deny root logon & enable X11 forwarding on
18 my machines.)
