            Bug ID: 2290
           Summary: documentation of algorithms
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 6.7p1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Documentation

Hi.

1) in sshd_config(5):
"rijndael-cbc at lysator.liu.se" seems to be missing from the list of
supported algos for the Ciphers directive.

"hmac-ripemd160 at openssh.com" for the MACs directive.
(If that's a synonym to hmac-ripemd160 it should probably be documented
as well.)


2) in sshd_config(5):
The Ciphers directive contains the text:
> The list of available ciphers may also be obtained using the -Q
> option of ssh(1).

a) I guess this should perhaps be changed to:
“-Q cipher” respectively “-Q cipher-auth”

b) The directives KexAlgorithms and MACs, which correspond to Ciphers,
and for which there is also a respective -Q option, completely miss
that part and it should be given as well.
The same should probably be done for the directive HostKeyAlgorithms in
ssh_config(5).


Cheers,
Chris.
