There are following changes in default settings of ssh client and server:

* Accepting and sending of locale environment variables in protocol 2 is
  enabled.

* PAM authentication is enabled and mostly even required, do not turn it off.

* DSA authentication is enabled by default for maximum compatibility.
  NOTE: do not use DSA authentication since it is being phased out for a reason
  - the size of DSA keys is limited by the standard to 1024 bits which cannot
  be considered safe any more.

* Accepting all RFC4419 specified DH group parameters. See KexDHMin in
  ssh_config and sshd_config manual pages.
