Thanks for taking the time to reply. Based on JackOfAll's hint, I checked out which version of openssh Cygwin is using (7.0p1) and did some googling. It turns out that DSS is now disabled in openssh by default. DSS is considered legacy and has known security vulnerabilities. But there is a workaround to enable legacy key exchange mechanisms in openssh (see http://www.openssh.com/legacy.html). This alsa explains why my Ubuntu boxes are still working. Their client is based on openssh 6.6p1. It's likely that other applications which rely on openssh will eventually display the same issue once they've been updated to openssh 7.0p1 or above. (Unless Dropbear is changed to allow different key exchange mechanisms in the meantime.) Just something to keep in mind. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ poing's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63617 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97803 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
