Have you checked their FAQ?

Yes, I just read it and found out that I had to upgrade to 0.52. I'll play
around with it later.

Irrelevant. ssh_config controls the behavior of clients run on that
host. And, btw, that's a REALLY bad idea.
But, GACK! It's the RH 7.2 default install!
Yup, default install and I'm up2date on my maintenance.. :)

idea, but it's not the end of the world. (It's only possible to DoS
the server if this is set, rather than get root.)
