No, only you can do that. You have to run ssh -vvv and eyeball the output, see what your machines are using.

The phrase "as good as possible" has no meaning here as the options out there in the wild as whatever they happen to be. > I will see if I can figure out what to do ... ssh -vvv then look -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
