This is OpenSSH version 7.2p2 for SLE12 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. * root authentiation with password is enabled by default (PermitRootLogin yes). NOTE: this has security implications and is only done in order to not change behaviour of the server in an update. We strongly suggest setting this option either "prohibit-password" or even better to "no" (which disables direct remote root login entirely). * SSH protocol version 1 is enabled for maximum compatibility. NOTE: do not use protocol version 1. It is less secure then v2 and should generally be phased out. * 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.
