Apologies for my late response. I am running different software now, but
the 'bug' is still present. I can currently reproduce it as follows:
Server: openssh-server Version: 1:6.9p1-2ubuntu0.1, Architecture amd64 on Ubuntu 15.10 (wily)
Client: Prompt 2 v2.5.2 (Build 23057) on IOS 9.2.1 (see https://panic.com/prompt/)
My /etc/ssh/sshd_config mentions:
> KexAlgorithms curve25519-sha256 at libssh.org,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256
When my /etc/ssh/moduli is generated to contain only 4096 bit primes,
and I log in from my iPad using Prompt 2, the server logs the following
message in /var/log/auth.log:
Mar 22 21:47:40 srv01 sshd[28876]: WARNING: no suitable primes in
/etc/ssh/primes
The file /etc/ssh/primes does not exist on the server system; neither is
it mentioned in the (FILES section of the) sshd(8) manpage, which,
incidentally, does mention /etc/ssh/moduli. - The above message is not
logged in case /etc/ssh/moduli is generated to contain all of 2048, 3072
and 4096 bit primes.
I hope the report is now as complete as it should be. In case I find
other ways to reproduce the error, I will let you know.
