       user-specific configuration file can be found in the $HOME/.ssh2 direc‐
       tory, where $HOME is the name  of  the  user's  account.	  Specifies  a
       Secure Shell server configuration file. The system-wide server configu‐
       ration file can be found at /etc/ssh2/sshd2_config.  If the  configura‐
