openssh bugs - Oct 2014 - [Bug 2290] New: documentation of algorithms

https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2290

            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
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org

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.

Partially fixed in https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/pull/5

The:
