ssh_config changes not taking effect

Question

My ultimate goal is to disable password login, as seen here: Disable password authentication on SSH server on OS X Server 10.8

But I suspect the changes I'm making to /etc/ssh/ssh_config aren't taking effect. Here are my steps:

1. sudo nano /etc/ssh/ssh_config
2. Just change the port from 22 to 2222 with this line:
   Port 2222 (not commented out)

3. sudo launchctl stop com.openssh.sshd

4. That should stop the service and start it again, but it's still on port 22.

Thoughts? Thanks!

Answer 1

I believe you need to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config for that
