Hello,
The item that causes me the most difficulty in deploying OpenSSH (and
the commercial ssh, as well) is confusion over the large number of
options for the configuration file; while the man page gives an
explanation of each one, they are listed alphabetically there, with
no "logical" grouping.
For my own use, I've created a heavily annotated sample sshd_config
file, grouping all of the various directives in a way that seemed to
make the most sense. This file is available at:
<http://whippet.stanford.edu/~ssklar/misc/openssh/sshd_config.txt>
... if anyone is interested; I'd appreciate being mailed if someone
notices an error or omission (I based it on the 3.0.1p1 man pages).
If there is any interest in replacing the current sample conf files
that are bundled with the distribution with this one (and the one
I'll be doing for ssh_config), I'd be happy to keep up the
maintenance on it for future changes to the software. I'm not a
programmer, so I can't contribute code, but I really appreciate the
work of everyone who does, and perhaps this is some small way I can
contribute.
Thanks, --Sandy
