Hi Keith,

Thanks for your advice.

I still have some confusion on ssh client (ssh_config) and ssh server (sshd_config)

To allow remote machine (client) to login to the server, exporting X-server to client side, etc., sshd_config controls it. Then what will be the function of ssh_config on the server? Whether just leaving it there untouched on the server? On the client side what will be its function, any editing be necessary?

B.R.

Hi folks,

I have following questions

1) There are 2 config files
/etc/ssh/ssh_config



This is the global configuration for the ssh client program. /usr/bin/ssh uses this.



/etc/ssh/sshd_config



This is the configuration file for the ssh server (lets you log into the box that it is running on). The /usr/sbin/sshd program uses this.



Their contents have some similarity. What will be their application in function and what will be their difference in application.

2) Protocol 2,1
What are SSH2 and SSH1 and their function.



That means prefer the version 2 protocol over the version 1 protocol, but fall back to version 1 if version 2 is not supported by the other end.
