This warning message is generated when you are using gpg-agent as ssh-agent and there is a mismatch on the ciphers between the two - i.e. when gpg-agent can't/won't use the ciphers expected by sshd. Do you get the same warning when you exclude the agent from the equation? ssh -a -i $HOME/.ssh/Your_SSH_Key user@host -- Regards, Mick
