While conducting a security review of a Linux-based server, you must verify the integrity of the SSH service configuration files. Which path is the BEST place to find the default OpenSSH server configuration file?
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
/var/ssh/sshd_config
/usr/local/etc/sshd_config
/etc/ssh/ssh_config
On most Linux distributions that use OpenSSH, the server daemon reads its settings from /etc/ssh/sshd_config. This file defines security-relevant parameters such as allowed authentication methods, cipher suites, and login restrictions. The other listed paths are not the conventional default: /etc/ssh/ssh_config is for the SSH client, /usr/local/etc/sshd_config is used only on systems where OpenSSH was built or installed under /usr/local, and /var/ssh/sshd_config is not a standard location.
