@toothandnail :
maybe you should fix your authentication but i think you should have a look at the OpenSSH man page and the OpenSSL man page.

First try on your SME:

Code: [Select]

ssh -V

on your Slackware :

Code: [Select]

ssh -V

and on both :

Code: [Select]

ssh -Q cipher ; ssh -Q cipher-auth
openssl ciphers -v
openssl list-cipher-algorithms
what do you notice ? Do you make a difference between OpenSSL and OpenSSH?

Many ciphers are deactivated by openSSH, to test a cipher, you can try :

Code: [Select]

ssh $USER@$SERVER -p $PORT -C -c $CIPHER

ssh $USER@$SERVER -p $PORT -C -c blowfish
ssh $USER@$SERVER -p $PORT -C -c chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com

The cipher algorithms are just algorithms for cryptography so now you can read this page and this page, to understand what you are trying to do.

A+
