Bug#265627: Debian bug #265627 (ssh.1 Ciphers spec) fixed upstream.



Hi.
The aforementioned Debian bug has been fixed upstream. The documentation for "-c" is now more extensive and lists the defaults and supported options.

Debian maintainer: this is -portable ssh.1 rev 1.148.

 -c cipher_spec
      Selects the cipher specification for encrypting the session.

      Protocol version 1 allows specification of a single cipher.  The
      suported values are ``3des'', ``blowfish'' and ``des''.  3des
      (triple-des) is an encrypt-decrypt-encrypt triple with three dif-
      ferent keys.  It is believed to be secure.  blowfish is a fast
      block cipher; it appears very secure and is much faster than
      3des.  des is only supported in the ssh client for interoperabil-
      ity with legacy protocol 1 implementations that do not support
      the 3des cipher.  Its use is strongly discouraged due to crypto-
      graphic weaknesses.  The default is ``3des''.

      For protocol version 2 cipher_spec is a comma-separated list of
      ciphers listed in order of preference.  The supported ciphers are
      ``3des-cbc'', ``aes128-cbc'', ``aes192-cbc'', ``aes256-cbc'',
      ``aes128-ctr'', ``aes192-ctr'', ``aes256-ctr'', ``arcfour'',
      ``blowfish-cbc'', and ``cast128-cbc''.  The default is

        ``aes128-cbc,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,cast128-cbc,arcfour,
          aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc''

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
