Looking for a working example of sshd_config setup fille

[Robert Heller]

It has been a long while since I last installed Desktop Ubuntu.  
openssh_server is installed by default with Raspbian, but sshd is not normally 
enabled (but Raspbian's OS image has a trick to enable it for a first time 
"install".

(openssh_server is also installed by default with MacOSX, but not enabled by 
default, but that is another can of worms...)
