Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs

While translating the "Remote Administration" section in the Ubuntu server guide for Intrepid, I noticed there is a wrong filename reported for configuring sshd. In section 5.1.3 "Configuration" it reads:

"There are many directives in the sshd configuration file controlling such things as communications settings and authentication modes. The following are examples of configuration directives that can be changed by editing the /etc/ssh/ssh_config file."

The filename in the end should read "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" -- the d is missing in sshd_config. This is quite serious as the wrongly named file actually exists (at least if ssh-client is installed which should be the case in a server-installation). Thus, the documentation can actually provoke serious misconfigurations.
