              @chisharpe very strange. I have a fully populated sshd_config file and was able to create a test file in /etc/udev/rules.d using sudo nano with no permissions error.

                @chisharpe in terminal type cd /etc/ssh and enter. Then type ls -al. Do you see the sshd_config listed?

                        @chisharpe sometimes it just takes another pair of eyes! The funny thing is you were typing it correctly on the forum. We've all been there.
