Making sshd_config not world readable

Subject: Making sshd_config not world readable
Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2005 15:17:02 +0100
Hi!

What are the drawbacks of making sshd_config not world readable, like
this:

-rw-r-----  1 root  wheel   2.6K Mar 28 11:20 sshd_config

In the man page says it is not necessary that the file be world readable
but it is recommended... I don't want it to be world readable so that
regular users don't know what Port and ListenAddress sshd is using.

TIA!

Regads,
