Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.

Comment 3 Stanislav Zidek 2015-04-30 12:18:50 UTC
There are still some options that are not documented in 'man ssh':

gssapikeyexchange
gssapiclientidentity
gssapirenewalforcesrekey
gssapitrustdns
kbdinteractiveauthentication
kexalgorithms

Comment 5 Stanislav Zidek 2015-05-04 09:25:03 UTC
There is only one more glitch now. man ssh lists:

                   GatewayPorts
                   GlobalKnownHostsFile
                   GSSAPIAuthentication
                            It GSSAPIKeyExchange
                   GSSAPIClientIdentity
                   GSSAPIDelegateCredentials
                   GSSAPIRenewalForcesRekey
                   GSSAPITrustDns

Probably missing dot in manpage source.

Comment 6 Jakub Jelen 2015-05-04 09:33:53 UTC
Added missing dot.
