Hi All, I have OPENSSH 5.0_P1 on my system. (I also have openssl 0.9.8g if that info is useful). I need to make sure that the SHA-2 algorithms (specifically SHA-256) is supported for SSH and SFTP on my system. *** Would someone be able to tell me if openssh version 5.0_P1 supports SHA-256 or not ? If not, which version of openssh does support sha-2 algorithms, e.g. sha-256 ?? Is there any other libraries or packages that I need to install to make sure sha-256 works for SSH and SFTP ? Just FYI: I did try modifying the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file, and added a line: MACs sha-2 when trying to restart sshd services (service sshd restart), I got an error ! Also tried MACs sha-256 again, got similar errors. So I am guessing SHA-2 algorithms are not supported in this version ? Please shed some light... Thanks in advance. -----Original Message----- From: secureshell-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:secureshell-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, March 12, 2010 6:16 PM To: Hasan Rezaul-CHR010 Subject: Returned post for secureshell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Hi!
