56 Since there wasn't that much customization, trying vanilla settings from
57 the ebuild didn't sound that bad. At least it didn't make it worse ;).
58
59 Okay, when I delete every line that's commented out, my sshd-settings
60 read as follows:
61
62 Protocol 2
63 PasswordAuthentication no (changing to yes doesn't change anything)
64 UsePAM yes (changing to no doesn't change anything)
65 Subsystem sftp /usr/lib64/misc/sftp-server
66
67
68 Useflags: X hpn pam tcpd -X509 -chroot -kerberos -ldap -libedit -selinux
69 -skey -smartcard -static
