Hi All,
Yesterday when I performing some system hardening process for a RedHat 8 that running OpenSSH 3.4.

When the machine is being probed by FoundStone program, i got this messages

<-- Text Quoted from Report
   Description:
   "Algorithms support by SSH2 server were enumerated."

   ....

Recommendation
Examine the list of supported algorithms for compliance with instituitional security policy.

End of Quoted Text--->

Btw, what is the word "Enumarated" stands for in this kind of situtation, does it means that attackers will be able to discover the SSH encryption algorithms and do something on

My apologies if this problem has been posted before or is has been fixed on the later version of SSH. But I have my constrains to stick to the existing version.
