>Description:

Some of the configuration defaults mentioned in ssh.1 and sshd.8
are incorrect with respect to the code.

There are a few oddities too: the code seems unsure about the difference
between ChallengeResponseAuthentication and KbdInteractiveAuthentication
(which seems to be a partial alias for the former if you use protocol 2);
ssh recognises /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key but sshd doesn't; the version
addendum option isn't documented.
