ssh command on server - got error

xrz

/etc/ssh/ssh_config: line 55: Bad configuration option: permitrootlogin
/etc/ssh/ssh_config: terminating, 1 bad configuration options

Line 55 is PermitRootLogin yes, and its clean install !! Ubuntu 15.10

Let me bring out my crystal ball...oh, never mind it broke.

How about giving people a hint:

cat /etc/ssh/ssh_config

xrz

cat /etc/ssh/ssh_config

Try moving the "useRoaming no" directive under the "Host *" section.

Better yet move the Host and useRoaming combo to the bottom.

globalRegisters

Is it working?

permitrootlogin is a configuration option that you put in your sshd_config file. It won't work in the ssh_config file. The ssh_config file is used for clients and sshd_config is used by the openssh server. Both files are in /etc/ssh/

it is but only when uncoment via # but why this happens, thats the guestion

(PermitRootLogin yes should better be not working anywhere for some reasons ;-))
