It only matters at the point of authentication, so existing SSH
sessions will not be affected.

The directive you are proposing to uncomment defaults to "yes", so
you need not make any change.

You seem to be very reboot-happy. I recommend understanding the
impact of the changes you will make instead of assuming you need to
reboot to make them effective.

In this case you do not need to make a change to your sshd's config,
but if you *did*, it would only be affecting sshd not anything else
on the system. So you'd only need to restart sshd.

Cheers,
Andy
