For the 10 billionth time! The file is sshd_config NOT ssh_config.

/etc/ssh/ssh_config
is the config file for the ssh client for connecting to other machines

/etc/ssh/sshd_config
is the config file for the sshd daemon that runs on your server waiting for
incoming connections

sshd is the name of the process you'll see running when your server is
listening for connections.

/etc/rc.d/init.d/ssh is the command for starting/stopping sshd
No, I don't know why they didn't call it sshd either :o)
