Re: [tlug] rsync ssh error

[Stephen Lasseter <stephen@karasu.ninja>]

Maybe add Pubkey AcceptedKeyTypes.  I had an older Juniper switch that is out of support, resulting in an old version ssh.  I started getting those errors last year when attempting to ssh to it.  My workaround was to throw something like the following into my ~/.ssh/config file:

Host oldswitch
     HostName oldswitch
     User admin
     HostKeyAlgorithms +ssh-rsa
     PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes +ssh-rsa
