Hi,

To expound on what Dan mentioned, the portable version of OpenSSH
places (and references) configuration files according to the
"--sysconfdir=" option that you give to the configure script. The
default is ${prefix}/etc, which actually gives /usr/local/etc/ if
'--prefix=' hasn't been set.

   I think the confusion occurs because most distributions and
packages set this to /etc/ssh/ (FreeBSD and Redhat to name two).


Jon
