 Actually, this is not correct. The config file for the ssh server are
usually at:

 /etc/ssh/sshd_config

 and the ssh client:

 /etc/ssh/ssh_config

 There are some features you can turn on and off there depending on how
secure you want your machines to be. For example, I disable ssh version 1
from connecting to my machines, and I would recommend that to anyone. SSH1
is susceptible to a man-in-the-middle attack.
