This says your ssh config file is outdated. A depreciated value won't cause ssh to malfunction, but it's a good indicator that you need to fix your config file. > I don't know if that is related to my error or not. > > sshd seems to be running, but since I haven't figured out how to do > a ssh login yet I don't even know whether it's effective. I'm guessing what you've done is installed an old version of ssh over top of the current version. Somehow the config file was replaced with the old config file, but you're still running the new version of ssh (pure speculation here) If you're running a newer version of FreeBSD that has ssh as part of the base system, deinstall the ssh package and use the system-based version. It can be configured to start up automagically via /etc/rc.conf. Getting a login via ssh is simple: ssh localhost should work to test. See man ssh for more details. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
