First off I am running V7R1 and still support all the weaker SSL communications for legacy POS equipment.
Here is the entire file:
# $OpenBSD: ssh_config,v 1.23 2007/06/08 04:40:40 pvalchev Exp $
# This is the ssh client system-wide configuration file. See
# ssh_config(5) for more information. This file provides defaults for
# users, and the values can be changed in per-user configuration files
# or on the command line.
# Configuration data is parsed as follows:
# 1. command line options
# 2. user-specific file
# 3. system-wide file
# Any configuration value is only changed the first time it is set.
# Thus, host-specific definitions should be at the beginning of the
# configuration file, and defaults at the end.
# Site-wide defaults for some commonly used options. For a comprehensive
# list of available options, their meanings and defaults, please see the
# ssh_config(5) man page.

Chris,
I added
Cipher +aes256-cbc,aes192-cbc,aes128-cbc
/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/SC1/OpenSSH/etc/ssh_config line 52: Bad SSH2 cipher spec 'aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,arcfour256,arcfour128,aes128-cbc,3des-cbc'
Can you please re-confirm your Cipher spec?
Thanks
Paul

This is the same problem I had last week. I also had to add:
Cipher +aes256-cbc,aes192-cbc,aes128-cbc to the same configuration file.
I was given this link by a business partner who uses IPSwitch products and their support gave it to them:

IPL with SI70819 upgraded OpenSSH disabling ssh-dss (DSA) public key algorithm.
Multiple production SFTP failing.
Unable to negotiate with xxx.xxx.xxx.xx port 22: no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-dss
Remote sites either need to upgrade
Or
Re-enable ssh-dss using the HostKeyAlgorithms configuration option:
ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss user@legacyhost
or
in the configuration file
WRKLNK '/QOpenSys/QIBM/UserData/SC1/OpenSSH/etc/ssh_config'
and add these to entries to the ssh_config file.
Host somehost.example.org --> the host name you use to connect/ip address
HostKeyAlgorithms +ssh-dss
Anyone else having these issues?
Which work around have others used?
