Currently the documentation says: https://docs.openvehicles.com/en/latest/userguide/console.html With OpenSSH version 6.6 (or later), cipher aes128-cbc has been disabled by default and needs to be enabled manually but this does not appear to be needed with the version of wolfssh we're currently using. My FreeBSD desktop has OpenSSH 7.9p1 in the base system and "/usr/bin/ssh -F /dev/null ovms-z.alameda.xse.com" (i.e. no config file) works fine. Meanwhile, OpenSSH 8.8 (which I've been using via the ports system since October) disables ssh-rsa by default so I had to add something simlar to: Host ovmsname.local HostkeyAlgorithms +ssh-rsa PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms +ssh-rsa to my .ssh/config. If someone would confirm my understanding of the current state is correct, I'd be happy to generate a PR to update the doc. Craig
