# This is the ssh client system-wide configuration file.

# ===================

# Address family should always be limited to the active network configuration.

# Identity file configuration. You may restrict available identity files. Otherwise ssh will search for a pattern and use any that matches.
#IdentityFile ~/.ssh/identity
#IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
#IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_dsa


# Security configuration
# ======================

# Set the protocol version to 2 for security reasons. Disables legacy support.
Protocol 2

# Make sure passphrase querying is enabled
BatchMode no

# Prevent IP spoofing by checking to host IP against the `known_hosts` file.
CheckHostIP yes

# Always ask before adding keys to the `known_hosts` file. Do not set to `yes`.
StrictHostKeyChecking ask


# **Ciphers** -- If your clients don't support CTR (eg older versions), cbc will be added
# CBC: is true if you want to connect with OpenSSL-base libraries
# eg ruby Net::SSH::Transport::CipherFactory requires cbc-versions of the given openssh ciphers to work
# -- see: (http://net-ssh.github.com/net-ssh/classes/Net/SSH/Transport/CipherFactory.html)

# Weak HMAC is sometimes required if older package versions are used
# eg Ruby's Net::SSH at around 2.2.* doesn't support sha2 for hmac, so this will have to be set true in this case.
