Gene, sshd is the one that actually controls which ciphers are in use. ssh selects which one it wants from from the laundry list sshd usually provides, unless you limit the choices. You can limit the choices either through the /etc/ssh_config, or the /etc/sshd_config. Do a "man sshd_config" or "man ssh_config". Look for "ciphers."
