I tried adding these options to /etc/ssh/ssh_config: Protocol 2 PermitRootLogin no AllowUsers myUserName MaxAuthTries 4 However, when I try test, I get an error that these options are invalid: $ ssh localhost /etc/ssh/ssh_config: line 55: Bad configuration option: PermitRootLogin /etc/ssh/ssh_config: line 56: Bad configuration option: AllowUsers /etc/ssh/ssh_config: line 57: Bad configuration option: MaxAuthTries /etc/ssh/ssh_config: terminating, 3 bad configuration options These are the options that I used the last time I enabled SSH, in FC4 I think. None of the commented-out options seem to replace these, so how would I go about securing SSH in FC6? Thanks in advance.
