Since there wasn't that much customization, trying vanilla settings from
the ebuild didn't sound that bad. At least it didn't make it worse ;).

Okay, when I delete every line that's commented out, my sshd-settings
read as follows:

Protocol 2
PasswordAuthentication no (changing to yes doesn't change anything)
UsePAM yes (changing to no doesn't change anything)
Subsystem sftp /usr/lib64/misc/sftp-server


Useflags: X hpn pam tcpd -X509 -chroot -kerberos -ldap -libedit -selinux
-skey -smartcard -static
