[techtalk] OpenSSH Trusted Host Setup Question

[Mark Foster]

As far as im aware, OpenSSH2 uses /etc/hosts.allow ?

[blakjak at phoenix blakjak]$ telnet localhost 22
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to phoenix.
Escape character is '^]'.
SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_2.3.0p1

Other than that, chec out the config files in /etc/ssh ?
