hm, not in mine ... but i tried it anyhow, and got:
orange:~# /etc/init.d/ssh restart
/etc/ssh/sshd_config: line 72: Bad configuration option: PermitUserEnvironment
/etc/ssh/sshd_config: terminating, 1 bad configuration options
there appears to be nothing like that in my sshd_config manpage. i'm
running ssh v3.4p1-4.
thanks again,
