That's the system-wide configuration file, which only the administrator 
should edit. Put your own configuration in ".ssh/config" in your home 
directory. "man ssh_config" describes the file format. (You can even put 
your user name and the server's full name there, so you can type "ssh 
school" instead of "ssh -l login_name server.school.example.tld".

Note that this configures the SSH client. You won't be allowed to 
reconfigure the server.
