Those options are meant to go into sshd_config

Try this command:
mv /etc/ssh/ssh_config /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Then replace your ssh_config with a basic ssh_config:
Host *
    ForwardAgent no
    ForwardX11 no
    ForwardX11Trusted no
    RhostsRSAAuthentication no
    RSAAuthentication yes
    PasswordAuthentication yes
    HostbasedAuthentication no
    GSSAPIAuthentication no
    GSSAPIDelegateCredentials no
    GSSAPIKeyExchange no
    GSSAPITrustDNS no
    BatchMode no
    CheckHostIP yes
    AddressFamily any
    ConnectTimeout 0
    StrictHostKeyChecking yes
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/identity
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_dsa
    Port 22
    Protocol 2
    Cipher aes256-ctr
    Ciphers
aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,arcfour256,arcfour128,aes128-cbc,3des-cbc
    MACs hmac-sha1,umac-64 at openssh.com,hmac-ripemd160
    EscapeChar ~
    Tunnel no
    TunnelDevice any:any
    PermitLocalCommand no
    VisualHostKey no
    SendEnv LANG LC_*
    HashKnownHosts yes
    GSSAPIAuthentication no
    GSSAPIDelegateCredentials no
