<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was setting up a new ASA 5545 to be part of our happy family, and it would not let rancid/ssh login to it, although putty has no problem. The output I get is:</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I suspect the key-exchange group line is the issue, but dang if I can figure out how to resolve it. I do not have any problems with using ssh on any other device at all. So yes, I have an id_rsa file that seems to be just fine since I connect
to all the other devices.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The /etc/ssh/ssh_config file is only comments, no commands in there. If I try to add a line for KexAlgorithms, ssh gives me an error, ‘bad configuration option’.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">ssh –V => OpenSSH_5.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8i 15 Sep 2008</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ssh –Q is not a valid option</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any ideas?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,</p>
