openssh unix dev - Sep 2007 - sshd_config -> ChallengeResponseAuthentication

I was under the impression from the provided distribution version of  
the sshd_config file that "ChallengeResponseAuthentication" is  
supposed to default to "yes".

Does anyone know if there are any circumstances, such as configure  
options, that might cause it to default to "no"?

Thanks,

The Match code changes had a side effect (ie "bug") that changed the 
default of ChallengeResponseAuthentication.   It affected version 4.6 
only, it's fixed ni 4.7.  I can dig up a patch for 4.6 if it helps.
