--- Comment #1 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
This is expected:

> debug1: kex: server->client cipher: aes128-gcm at openssh.com MAC: <implicit> compression: none
> debug1: kex: client->server cipher: aes128-gcm at openssh.com MAC: <implicit> compression: none

MACs are not used for AEAD ciphers like AES-GCM as these provide
message integrity in the cipher itself.
