Just remembered: that came up during discussion of the sshd configuration. I just checked; there is only blowfish available.

```
     Ciphers

             Specifies the ciphers allowed for protocol version 2.  Multiple
             ciphers must be comma-separated.  The supported ciphers are
             ``3des-cbc'', ``aes128-cbc'', ``aes192-cbc'', ``aes256-cbc'',
             ``aes128-ctr'', ``aes192-ctr'', ``aes256-ctr'',
             ``
aes128-gcm at openssh.com'', ``aes256-gcm at openssh.com
'',
             ``arcfour128'', ``arcfour256'', ``arcfour'', ``blowfish-cbc'',
             and ``cast128-cbc''.  The default is:
```

Also, we should specify the key exchange properly:

```
     KexAlgorithms

             Specifies the available KEX (Key Exchange) algorithms.  Multiple
             algorithms must be comma-separated.  The default is
             ``
curve25519-sha256 at libssh.org
'', ``ecdh-sha2-nistp256'',
             ``ecdh-sha2-nistp384'', ``ecdh-sha2-nistp521'',
             ``diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256'',
             ``diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1'',
             ``diffie-hellman-group14-sha1'', ``diffie-hellman-group1-sha1’'.
```
