Comment 5 for bug 1690485

I reset /etc/ssh/sshd_config to the attached version, and attempted

ssh -v localhost

while logged in as username=kennykb uid=117

The output of 'ssh -v' is attached as 'sshclient.txt'.

The only lines that appeared in syslog after I restarted the daemon were in the attached 'syslog.txt'.

The corresponding time period in auth.log is attached as 'authlog.txt'.

The contents of /etc/ssh/ssh_config at the time of the failure are attached.

(I'll attach the files in the next few messages.)

The first is auth.log. 192.168.1.1 is my gateway machine. I see that I'm being hammered 3-4 times a minute with unauthorized requests to log in as root from some external machine. Isn't the internet a spectacularly hostile place?

If this is not enough, what else do you need? Another developer mentioned rebuilding from source with a particular debugging option turned on - if you need this, can you give me a precise description of the location and version of the package you want rebuilt and the exact change you want?
