openssh unix dev - Jul 2008 - SSH_RSA_MINIMUM_MODULUS_SIZE

Hi,

is there any chance to make SSH_RSA_MINIMUM_MODULUS_SIZE configurable?
I keep receiving these messages:

   ssh_rsa_verify: RSA modulus too small: 512 < minimum 768 bits
   key_verify failed for server_host_key

And it's quite a hassle to recompile each time I need to use it (there
are still devices where you can't fix it easily).

Thanks
Michal

Hello,

trying again, with a patch now (only for the client).

Currently it's not possible to change this without recompiling so any way 
to prevent that would do and command line seems to be the easiest.

Would something like this be acceptable?

Thanks.
Michal
