From c2ef7b500926be2f7d875d63ec72781b50d69294 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Date: Sun, 9 Feb 2014 16:10:18 +0000
Subject: Various Debian-specific configuration changes
ssh: Enable ForwardX11Trusted, returning to earlier semantics which cause
fewer problems with existing setups (http://bugs.debian.org/237021).
ssh: Set 'SendEnv LANG LC_*' by default (http://bugs.debian.org/264024).
ssh: Enable HashKnownHosts by default to try to limit the spread of ssh
worms.
ssh: Enable GSSAPIAuthentication and disable GSSAPIDelegateCredentials by
default.
sshd: Refer to /usr/share/doc/openssh-server/README.Debian.gz alongside
PermitRootLogin default.
Document all of this, along with several sshd defaults set in
debian/openssh-server.postinst.
