How did you update to 8.4? This sounds more like messing up the mergemaster(8)/freebsd-update merge procedure than a real problem with the config file. This is the source configuration file straight from SVN releng/8.4 branch and as you can see the VersionAddendum on line 115 is commented out there: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/releng/8.4/crypto/openssh/sshd_config?view=markup -Kimmo _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
