Hi, all,

minor problem/annoyance here:

root@noc:/etc/ssh # ssh admin@10.4.0.62
Unable to negotiate with 10.4.0.62 port 22: no matching key exchange =
method found. Their offer: diffie-hellman-group1-sha1,none
root@noc:/etc/ssh # uname -a
FreeBSD noc.pluspunkthosting.de 10.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE #3: =
Wed Apr 13 14:46:57 CEST 2016     =
root@noc.pluspunkthosting.de:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

Of course I was able to find http://www.openssh.com/legacy.html myself.

FreeBSD 10.2 uses OpenSSH 6.6.x while 10.3 imported 7.2.
So far so good.

The recommended method from the document above works on the
command line:

	ssh -oKexAlgorithms=3D+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 =
admin@10.4.0.62

But if I add

	KexAlgorithms +diffie-hellman-group1-sha1

to /etc/ssh/ssh_config, that does not change anything. Oddly enough,
checking which algorithms are supported gives the same result
regardless of any configuration options:

root@noc:/etc/ssh # ssh -Q kex
diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
diffie-hellman-group14-sha1
diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1
diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256
ecdh-sha2-nistp256
ecdh-sha2-nistp384
ecdh-sha2-nistp521
curve25519-sha256@libssh.org

So, diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 is supported but not used unless
specified on the command line? And there is no way to override that
*globally*? This is an isolated management network with IPMI
interfaces - we won't be getting updates for all of these machines'
IPMI firmware ...

Am I stuck with writing shell aliases or putting the config in each and
every user's private ~/.ssh/config?

Thanks for any hints,
Patrick
