Bug 45702

Summary: Error in manual page ssh_config(5)
Product: Documentation Reporter: Dirk Gouders <gouders>

Description Dirk Gouders 2002-11-25 08:00:14 UTC
	The manual page for the file ssh_config states that the default
	value for the keyword HostKeyAlgorithms is `ssh-rsa,ssh-dss'.

    I guess, that changed, because after I upgraded to 4.7-STABLE ssh
	did not longer recognize my stored RSA keys from other hosts,
	until I added the HostKeyAlgorithms keyword with the `default'
	value.

Fix: 

Change the manual page.
How-To-Repeat: 	Try to use RSA hostkeys without the HostKeyAlgorithms keyword in
    the file ssh_config.

Hi,

OpenSSH is contributed software.  Could you perhaps bring this up to the
OpenSSH developers?

I'm not sure whom to contact, but I will try to figure that out.

Best regards,
