# be allowed through the ChallengeResponseAuthentication and
# PasswordAuthentication. Depending on your PAM configuration,
# PAM authentication via ChallengeResponseAuthentication may bypass

# If you just want the PAM account and session checks to run without

# and ChallengeResponseAuthentication to 'no'.

There really shouldn't be anything in there that is of privacy or security concern.
Also you should see it running on your box with a netstat -an, example
budman@ubuntu:~$ netstat -an

I snipped out my global IPv6 address - the rest is not of privacy issues
You can even see my connection there from my vpn tunnel on that 10.0.200 address. And if you have setup IPv6 you should see it listening on that as well, see that tcp6 :::22 on my output.
If you install webmin, you can use gui to configure sshd, etc.
But some more details would be helpful in helping you figure it out. Normally root would not have access via it, If your running firewall on the host, yeah have to open it up, etc.
edit: Just noticed I have not updated my webmin in a while
Updating now, so that is one good thing that came out of this thread
