Bug#851573: openssh-server: no docs on why RSAAuthentication is deprecated
Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:7.4p1-5
Severity: minor
In /var/log/daemon.log I find:
Jan 16 12:53:57 tucano systemd[1]: Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server...
Jan 16 12:53:57 tucano sshd[14680]: /etc/ssh/sshd_config line 33: Deprecated option RSAAuthentication
Jan 16 12:53:57 tucano sshd[14680]: /etc/ssh/sshd_config line 40: Deprecated option RhostsRSAAuthentication
Jan 16 12:53:57 tucano systemd[1]: Started OpenBSD Secure Shell server.
but I can find no info on why those options are being deprecated and
what one should do about them.
