            Bug ID: 216226
           Summary: security/openssh-portable no longer providing HPN or
                    none
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: bdrewery at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: dewayne at heuristicsystems.com.au

I appreciate that there has some discussion in the mailing list regarding the
HPN and none (cipher) options.  However I just upgraded from 7.3.p1_1,1 to
OpenSSH_7.4p1, LibreSSL 2.4.4 on 
11.0-STABLE FreeBSD 11.0-STABLE #0 r311660M: Sun Jan  8 21:30:51 AEDT 2017 and
upon restarting sshd received these little surprises:

/usr/local/etc/ssh/sshd_config: line 11: Bad configuration option: HPNDisabled
/usr/local/etc/ssh/sshd_config: line 12: Bad configuration option:
HPNBufferSize
/usr/local/etc/ssh/sshd_config: line 13: Bad configuration option: NoneEnabled
/usr/local/etc/ssh/sshd_config line 14: Bad SSH2 cipher spec
'aes256-gcm at openssh.com,chacha20-poly1305 at openssh.com,aes256-cbc,aes192-cbc,aes128-cbc,none'.

Unfortunately this did catch me out, as there were no remarks in the svn logs
nor UPDATING that would've alerted me to this change.  There is no harm done as
internet facing systems don't use these options, but it might be worth drawing
to the attention of others that might be adversely surprised/impacted .

I provide this in case its relevant:
make -C /usr/ports/security/openssh-portable  showconfig | grep =on
     BSM=on: OpenBSM Auditing
     HPN=on: HPN-SSH patch
     LIBEDIT=on: Command line editing via libedit
     NONECIPHER=on: NONE Cipher support

Kind regards.
