Hi folks,

I have following questions

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

ssh_config is for the ssh client, used when you connect to anywhere, where you can e.g. decide about your prefered encryption cipher, e.g. "Cipher = blowfish".

sshd_config sets up the ssh deamon, which is the one waiting for
someone connecting on your box. Here you might specify who is allowed
to connect, which ciphers are allowed for connections, and other
security-related issues.

You may find some more words about SSH in the gentoo security guide
at gentoo.org.


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


Use 'Protocol 2' only, unless you really need the older protocol 1.
