You can patch it with:

  # echo 'UseRoaming no' >> /etc/ssh/ssh_config

  $ echo "UseRoaming no" >> ~/.ssh/config

As mentioned in another thread, don't do this blindly. If there are `Host` or`Match` blocks in the config, this new line will only apply to the last of those blocks.

Thanks DrRobinson ! I added it to my .ssh/config

The second one. There is no /etc/ssh on a stock Mac. (Although there is a /private/etc/ssh_config on mine, without the intervening ssh dir)

Hue? There is one on mine. Maybe mine's different because I upgraded from 10.9 to 10.10 to 10.11 whereas you might have started with a later version (or an earlier one)?

You have an /etc/ssh, or just an /etc? I have /etc, which is a symlink to /private/etc, but as I said it has no ssh dir.

FWIW I am on 10.10.5 not 10.11. Maybe there's a change in 10.11. (The article the grandparent links is focused on 10.10 so I assumed that was in the scope of this discussion.)

PS are you on homebrew? maybe homebrew adds it.

Homebrew should not add anything outside of /usr/local iirc.
