Description of problem: Manual page of ssh_config contains: KexAlgorithms Specifies the available KEX (Key Exchange) algorithms. Multiple algorithms must be comma-separated. The default is “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”. This is wrong as “ecdh-sha2-nistp256”, “ecdh-sha2-nistp384” and “ecdh-sha2-nistp521” are not implemented by RH's openssh.
