Issue
- Some of our scripts use
diffie-hellmanalgorithm but it seems thatdiffie-hellmanalgorithm is not supported by this RHEL6opensshpackage and because of which we are facing issues (An error message "Bad configuration option" is printed on the console duing bootup and finally the ssh is not accessible)
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.2
- openssh < openssh-5.3p1-94.el6.x86_64
