similar to: [Bug 612] moduli.5 documentation doesn't match ssh code (off by 1)

Hi folks, This applies to src/share/man/man5/moduli.5 in the OpenBSD source tree, and doesn't seem to apply to the portable OpenSSH, so I've sent this change here instead of via Bugzilla. The wording of moduli(5) implies that sshd puts more thought about which modulus it selects than it really does. The following patch corrects this. Simon. -- Simon Burge

Hi, my question is related to the kex algorithm diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256 and moduli generation. I've seen that through ssh-keygen, I'm able to re-generate my moduli file used by DH but I'm note sure to understand one point in the ssh-keygen manpage : "Screened DH groups may be installed in /etc/ssh/moduli. It is important that this file contains moduli of a range of

Hi, Can anybody briefly explain the significance of the updated moduli file? Is this a critical update? Should all existing installations update their moduli file? Thanks in advance, -- Dan

Hello all, I propose the following patch to ssh-keygen.c for openssh version 4.5. It allows to redirect output of the moduli operations to stdout, to do something like e.g.: $ ssh-keygen -G - -b 2048 | ssh-keygen -T - -f - >moduli Best regards, Christian --- ssh/ssh-keygen.c.old 2007-03-01 12:43:06.000000000 +0100 +++ ssh/ssh-keygen.c 2007-03-01 12:47:32.000000000 +0100 @@ -1270,13

[ OS: Solaris 2.8 ] Curious why 'moduli' is installed in the "--sysconfdir' directory? Isn't this machine-independent and therefore should go in the "--datadir" directory? Also, it seems to me that the datadir/sysconfdir/sharedstatedir/ localstatedir would be more useful if they were set up (or further expanded) to better support packaging of OpenSSH. For

I'm not nearly knowledgeable enough in crypto to fully understand your answer, but I will try. I wonder why moduli are not automatically generated the first time sshd is started though. That would make much more sense than shipping a default moduli file but also asking everyone to replace it with their own. On Fri, Feb 15, 2019 at 5:50 AM Mark D.

I don't think there is any point to generate so many moduli. Actually, 3 moduli of sizes 2048, 3072 and 4096 seem like a sane choice.

Hi, I'm interested in requiring a minimum of 3072-bit DH moduli when using the "diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256" kex, so I edited my /etc/ssh/moduli file such that only 3071+ moduli are left. However, when clients ask for a max of 2048-bit moduli, they actually get one (!). I poked around and found that a fallback mechanism exists (dh.c:185), which returns back the
