In SSH1 mode, only 3DES and Blowfish can be selected. In SSH2 mode, only 3DES, Blowfish, CAST128 or Arcfour can be selected at the current time. The patented and dated IDEA algorithm is not supported. This difference may manifest itself in the ssh command refusing to read configuration files left over from a previous installation of commercial SSH. Solution: Edit /etc/ssh/ssh_config and select a different Cipher option ("3des" or "blowfish"). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you can see, there isn't any support to patented algorithms, thereby I don't know why the debian doesn't upgrade the version of ssh... greetings, J.L. -----Original Message----- From: Benjamin Pharr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2001 10:04 AM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: SSH While logging into my Debian box using ssh I noticed that it is setup to use SSH version 1 by default.
