   Hi all,   
      
   Just a heads up that if you have users that are trying to use recent version   
   of Fedora, at least 38 and also confirmed on 40, they will not be able to   
   connect using ssh and the default settings.   
      
   There's an /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d/50-redhat.conf file which includes some   
   policy file that changes a number of defaults.   
      
   This results in "Invalid key length" when someone tries to ssh to your board.   
      
   I filed a bug report and assigned it to Deuce since he did all the ssh stuff   
   but he unassigned it so I guess we're fucked.   
      
   One work around is to use   
      
   ssh -oRequiredRSASize=1024 user@host   
      
   But...since they cannot connect, you can't tell you user that.   
      
   The fix would be for synchronet to generate 2048 byte host keys but the looks   
   of things. Good luck.
