Looking for a working example of sshd_config setup fille

[Robert Moskowitz]

My desktop install for Lts24/Xcfe included sshd.  I don't know what I 
selected for apts that resulted in that.

i DID have to enable the server.  I also had to open up the firewall 
accordingly.  Of course I took the hard way and changed the server port 
which is a pain in Ubuntu which was never the case with Centos/Fedora.

Password login then just worked.
