Daemon Configuration File and Command-Line Options

Sshd2 reads configuration data from /etc/ssh2/sshd2_config (or the file specified with the -f flag on the command line). The file contains keyword-value pairs, one per line. Lines starting with the number sign (#) as well as empty lines are interpreted as comments.

Subconfiguration files can also be specified in the main configuration file. See Section Subconfigurations for more information.

For detailed information about the options available in the configuration file and on the command line, please refer to the sshd2_config(5) and to the sshd2(8) manual pages.
