Guys, Markus, your notes got me up and running. This really needs to be added to the wiki if it not there already, I am glad someone else saw this. I am back up and running. On the move to everything to /usr Lucky I saw the emails, not happy because it seems we are going the Fedora way, anyway. I don't get why we do changes, seems we tend to follow Fedora/Ubuntu doing that make our own changes. Tumbleweed seems to have a lot fewer packages. I use to have a number of Nginx packages I used, there a number missing. Seriously, a lot less packages. But, when I when to the /etc/ssh folder and there no configuration, I was like what the hell, and for once Google was less than friendly.

It seems like there has been a strategic decision to not provide a fully commented aka documented sshd_config file in /etc anymore. I fell into the same pit some weeks ago. This makes it harder for people who like you and me only rarely change something in sshd config, I guess, but that's life.
Afaik we have to create an sshd_config file from scratch now, and if you only need to give access to root, it should only have these lines (all other settings are defaults)
This was listed as a probable fallout of the /usr-merge movement, one that I thought to be of high concern, but was told that user-addressable files would either be non-existent or stubs.
However it was mentioned that users might circumvent this by moving the contents of all of the configs back to their useful locations.
This is semi-equivalent to making the bootup and service process no longer modifiable w/o having access to a development system to recompile opaque, monolithic control programs vs. reconfiguration by editing a shell script.
It's a shame the computer industry is moving away from personal computers, and how the current CEO of what was the leading SW company of the PC revolution has a vision to move consumers away from desktops toward handhelds and tablets.
Being someone with a computer science degree, I've rarely felt ok or fine with simple defaults (for better or worse).
