tips for connecting to GitHub

NIST has released their August 2014 draft "Security of Automated Access Management Using Secure Shell (SSH)" available at http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/drafts/nistir-7966/nistir_7966_draft.pdf

You might want to read https://stribika.github.io/2015/01/04/secure-secure-shell.html

HOWTO can be found at http://www.debuntu.org/ssh-key-based-authentication

Hostname github.com

IdentityFile /home/greg/.ssh/<id_rsa.MYKEY>

KexAlgorithms curve25519-sha256@libssh.org,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1,diffie-hellman-group14-sha1

host *.amazonaws.com

HostName ec2-72-44-63-125.compute-1.amazonaws.com

</source>

Note the KexAlgorithms line for GitHub. You might need to add this if you're getting a 'failed to negotiate a key exchange' error from github. See <code>ssh -vQ kex</code> for the algos your system supports. And fix up your moduli file <ref>https://stribika.github.io/2015/01/04/secure-secure-shell.html</ref>
