Title:
WARNING: no suitable primes in /etc/ssh/primes
Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
For instance when the KexAlgorithms option in sshd_config is set to include
Diffie Hellman group exchange (e.g. diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256), and
the /etc/ssh/moduli file is regenerated to include only 4096 bit primes, the
ssh server may log the above warning message to /var/log/auth.log, probably
because the ssh client trying to log in does not allow for the use of 4096 bit
primes during the key exchange. The alleged problem is the reference to
/etc/ssh/primes instead of /etc/ssh/moduli. It would appear that the file
/etc/ssh/primes is neither used by ssh server, nor documented.
I note that this error appears to have been reported in several places
on the web in the past years, but to no avail (e.g.
http://misc.openbsd.narkive.com/tZPNEoZk/no-suitable-primes)
Release: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
Package: openssh-server, Version: 1:6.6p1-2ubuntu2.3
