During configuration, the SSHD2_CONFIG. file is copied to the TCPIP$SSH_DEVICE:[TCPIP$SSH.SSH2] directory. When the connection is initiated from a remote client, the SSH server reads the file and creates the run-time version of the configuration parameters. The SSH server loads this file and modifies the run-time version of the parameters accordingly. You can copy this file from a UNIX or OpenVMS system and edit it, or you can create a new file. The file can be in either Stream_LF or variable-length format.
