Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:6.7p1-5
Followup-For: Bug #783594
Dear Maintainer,
The bug appears only if the Ciphers directive is missing and implied from
program defaults:
(i'm guessing that -T runs prior to proper full initialization of 'sshd')
$ grep -i ciphers /etc/ssh/sshd_config
$
$ sudo /usr/sbin/sshd -T | grep -i ciphers
ciphers
3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,cast128-cbc,arcfour,arcfour128,arcfour256,aes128-cbc,aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc,rijndael-...@lysator.liu.se,aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,aes128-...@openssh.com,aes256-...@openssh.com,chacha20-poly1...@openssh.com
-or-
$ sudo /usr/sbin/sshd -f /dev/null -T | grep -i ciphers
ciphers
3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,cast128-cbc,arcfour,arcfour128,arcfour256,aes128-cbc,aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc,rijndael-...@lysator.liu.se,aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,aes128-...@openssh.com,aes256-...@openssh.com,chacha20-poly1...@openssh.com
If we explicitly specify the manpage defaults, '-T' functions as expected:
$ echo 'Ciphers
aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,aes128-...@openssh.com,aes256-...@openssh.com,chacha20-poly1...@openssh.com'
| sudo /usr/sbin/sshd -T -f /dev/stdin | grep ciphers
ciphers
aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,aes128-...@openssh.com,aes256-...@openssh.com,chacha20-poly1...@openssh.com
