Now I am a little more confused... What is the purpose of this file? : /etc/conf.d/sshd with this contents: # /etc/conf.d/sshd: config file for /etc/init.d/sshd # Where is your sshd_config file stored? SSHD_CONFDIR="/etc/ssh" # Any random options you want to pass to sshd. # See the sshd(8) manpage for more info. SSHD_OPTS="" # Pid file to use (needs to be absolute path). #SSHD_PIDFILE="/var/run/sshd.pid" # Path to the sshd binary (needs to be absolute path). #SSHD_BINARY="/usr/sbin/sshd" if /etc/ssh/sshd_config is for configuration of sshd's options...for what purpose is /etc/conf.d/sshd then ? And what files gets overwritten when installing a new version of sshd? Best regards, mcc
