Look in /usr/local/etc/
sshd proably checks there first. this sort of thing happened to me
with procmail and procmail.rc. Until of course i read the man page.

sshd will refuse to start if no config file. I reckon it is in there.

also a locate sshd_config after running /etc/per*/week*/310* to update
the search db.

Almost there.
