The lines which are commented are the defaults. If one wishes to change
those defaults then and only then is removal of the hash mark required
along with the appropriate change.

The default sshd_config file requires 2, and only 2, lines modified in
order to permit root connections from a remote client host. Unpack the
etc.tgz tarball in /tmp, copy the sshd_config file to /etc/ssh, edit it as
I recommended, restart /usr/sbin/sshd and see for yourself that it works.

I have now installed both NetBSD-1.6-release and NetBSD-1.6N-snapshot onto
that extra drive and both versions had the same sshd_config file which
required only those 2 lines being modified in order to permit root
connections from remote hosts.

Neither of those two versions of NetBSD seems to have the proper Xserver
configuration for Ultra 1/170E machines with Creator 3D framebuffer. The
device /dev/ffb does not exist and the /dev/MAKEDEV script does not create
it.

The hme driver in NetBSD, however, is substantially better than the one in
OpenBSD. I was able to get ~8.4MB/sec transfers over the wire with NetBSD
whereas with OpenBSD the limit was ~1.9MB/sec. Solaris 8 and 9 on that
machine provide ~9.5MB/sec data transfers.
