Hi there, Curiosity caused me to Google the configuration you gave & led me to . This is not a guide for end-users - this configuration is mandatory ONLY if the machine you're configuring is to be globally addressable as hostname.gentoo.org I might also add that the "ServerKeyBits 2048" line of this configuration appears to be rendered redundant by the "Protocol 2" line - unless you're an expert I would just stick with the default / etc/ssh/sshd_config and only change the parts that you think appropriate. (I personally deny root logon & enable X11 forwarding on my machines.) Stroller. --Apple-Mail-30-498605604 Content-Type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Hi = there,
