Hi and welcome to the forum!

To edit the sshd_config file you need to be the root user. Use the following

su -

to become root. I don't think Knoppix has a root password if you're running it as a liveCD, but it will if you installed it.

Once the sshd_config is the way you like it, make sure to (re)start the server. The command is probably something like the following (and has to be run as root),

/etc/init.d/sshd restart

This command is different on different distros, so you should look it up first.

Good luck.
