Package: openssh-server Severity: wishlist Hi,
I think the Ciphers option in sshd_config could be better explained in the sshd_config(5) man page. A list of available options is given, but without further details. References to RFC4344, RFC4345 and RFC4253 would be very helpful, as these documents give definitions of them as well as some recommendations. In particular it wasn't clear to me (without checking the source code or RFC4345) what key length "arcfour" used (actually 128 bits), and how it differs from the "arcfour128" mode. The latter discards 1536 bytes from the start of the keystream to defend against a known weakness, but the former does not.
