Hi,

ChallengeResponseAuthentication is one of the few configuration parameters 
which are not uncommented in its default state. Is this intentionally or shoud 
the line  be uncommented in order to have a consistent default config file of 
the openssh-server in debian?

As far as I remember the default settings where explicit in the config file in 
the past (1) and now all implicit (uncomented) (2). This makes a big change for 
users who do not often check their configgfiles when the default are changed 
upstream or package-maintainer. New default is (1) not effective /  (2) is  
effective.
(Assumed user did not change settings)

[...]
# Change to yes to enable challenge-response passwords (beware issues with
# some PAM modules and threads)
ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
[...]

 
Thanks
