As far as I know, uncommenting lines in sshd_config is unnecessary. =
These are put there as commented lines to indicate defaults which sshd =
was build with, so they are already in effect. That is why good practice =
is when changing something to keep commented line as it is, and add next =
to it yours not commented different setting.

complete removal of SSHD banner (if that's what you're trying to do) =
requires a manual edit of OpenSSH(d) files&complete complication of it =
from scratch.
