The client (ssh) will use the ssh_config on the machine you run it on. If that machine is not running the server (sshd) then it's sshd_config is never used. Basically, sshd uses sshd_config (wherever it is run), and ssh uses the ssh_config (wherever it is run). If you don't run sshd on a machine then obviously the sshd_config on that machine won't be used. -- -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keith Dart <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.kdart.com/> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Public key ID: B08B9D2C Public key: <http://www.kdart.com/~kdart/public.key> ============================================================================
