Well, make sure you restart sshd (send it a HUP).

Also, make sure you're editing the correct file :)

If you have the ssh port installed and running it will run out of /usr/local
and read /usr/local/etc/sshd_config whereas if you are using OpenSSH (as
shipped with 4.1) you will need to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config
