No, neither.  And rightly so, since I am not using
either RhostsAuthentication or
RhostsRSAAuthentication.

The config I pasted is the _entire_ config file -
that's all there is.  I am using neither of those
options, so I shouldn't need suidroot or Privileged
port.

Is host based keys just broken in ssh on FreeBSD ?  I
wish someone would just confirm this so I can stop
wasting my time ... or deny it and tell me what I am
doing wrong - _all_ information regarding my setup is
in my original post ...

thanks.  </very frustrated>
