Bug ID: 3933
Summary: Inconsistent documentation of options that take
algorithm lists
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 10.2p1
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: Documentation
Assignee: [email protected]

Proposed patch to start unifying documentation of algorithm lists
The documentation of the different options CASignatureAlgorithms,
Ciphers, HostbasedAcceptedAlgorithms, HostKeyAlgorithms, KexAlgorithms,
MACs and PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms and between ssh_config(5) and
sshd_config(5) differs more than expected. This makes it confusing.
The attached patch proposal would unify parts of that.
There are still some things I didn't change (yet), as I was not sure
whether these are actually correct, e.g.
1. The default lists for CASignatureAlgorithms in the man pages do not
list [email protected], but
SSH_ALLOWED_CA_SIGALGS in myproposal.h does list it.
2. [email protected] is listed before
[email protected] for HostKeyAlgorithms in
sshd_config(5) and in KEX_DEFAULT_PK_ALG in myproposal.h, but after
[email protected] in ssh_config(5).
I would be happy to make changes as requested to improve this
documentation.
