Wes, Ah. Now I understand: if dirvish is backing up a host drive to an external USB hard drive the client is just the host's name without a domain.tld. When the backup is external then the domain.tld is used and root needs ssh access. Since root doesn't use ssh or rsync other than for backup I can change sshd_config back (or leave it as-is) with no harm. Thanks for clarifying. Now to get logwatch working; it's the last thing needing to be done.
