HEADS UP: openssh may be troublesome



Beware when updating -current - the ssh version now on HEAD once again
deliberately breaks connectivity to some machines, especially some Sun
ALOM console processors.

The cryptic message they throw is:

ssh_dispatch_run_fatal: Connection to 192.168.150.113 port 22: DH GEX group out of range

which means your server is using (what upstream idiots consider) too few
bits for Diffie Hellman.

You can work around it by using -oKexAlgorithms=diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 

At least this time there is a command line solution on the client side!

The other current issue is that both sshd and ssh are completely 
non-operational on sparc64, we will need to test other architectures too.
