I ran it on the client, and got a bunch of interesting looking stuff, apparently indicating that it works.

I was unable to run it on the host, the file does not exist anywhere on the system.

-----------------------

About the sshd configuration files (on the host):


$ locate sshd
/private/etc/pam.d/sshd
/private/etc/sshd_config
/private/etc/sshd_config.personal
/usr/libexec/sshd-keygen-wrapper
/usr/sbin/sshd
/usr/share/man/man5/sshd_config.5
/usr/share/man/man8/sshd.8
/usr/share/vim/vim62/syntax/sshdconfig.vim

------------------------------------------

Note: both sshd_config and sshd_config.personal appear to be the same. I had modified the first one, I have not modified this one. It looks like just about everything is commented out...? Do I need to do more than just uncomment and change the X11Forwarding line?

$ cat /private/etc/sshd_config.personal
