RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
The version of the fence-agents does not work with the newer APC AP8965 PDU strips as these strips seem to require SSH 2 connectivity, despite their GUI interface which seems to indicate that they only support version 1.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fence-agents-3.1.5-35.el6_5.3.x86_64

How reproducible:
Attempt to use fence_apc to access PDU

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use fence_apc with ssh option like so:
fence_apc --ssh --ip=hydra-2-pdu1 --plug=1 --username=apc --password=apc --action=status

Actual results:
Unable to connect/login to fencing device

Expected results:
Status: ON

Additional info:
It appears that the version is hard coded in the fence_apc program, on my copy it is line 232 containing this entry:
options["ssh_options"] = "-1 -c blowfish"
If I modify this entry to be this:
options["ssh_options"] = "-2"
OR simply comment out the line entirely, then the script works as expected and I get the expected result.

Thanks for a report.

Upstream version already has --ssh-options, so this should be an easy fix.
