==== Bad configuration option: gssapikexalgorithms ====

Found when using an SSH binary from Nix on typically RPM-based distros like CentOS, Fedora, Scientific Linux, Redhat, etc. '''The quick fix:''' Just comment out the configuration option in the ssh config file, you ~~probably~~ don't need it.

Found when using an SSH binary from Nix on typically RPM-based distros like CentOS, Fedora, Scientific Linux, Redhat, etc. Possible fixes, from least to most invasive:

# '''The quick fix:''' Just comment out the configuration option in the ssh config file

# If you want to keep the option in but don't need it to work (e.g., you're sharing a config across systems, but only use GSSAPI/Kerberos on another system): add {{ic|IgnoreUnknown GSSAPI*}} to your ssh configuration

# Install the {{ic|openssh_gssapi}} package instead of {{ic|openssh}}. This will fix ssh used directly, but some dependencies may still use the non-GSSAPI package.

# Force specific other packages to build with the GSSAPI version: for example, you might add <code>(git-repo.override { openssh = openssh_gssapi; })</code> to your {{ic|environment.systemPackages}} list (if git-repo is the problematic package), or use [[overlays]] like: <syntaxhighlight lang="nix">

nixpkgs.overlays = [

(final: prev: {

mosh = prev.mosh.override { openssh = prev.openssh_gssapi; };

})

];

</syntaxhighlight>(which will fix [[mosh]] used as a dependency too)

# Force all packages that depend on openssh to use openssh_gssapi instead: <syntaxhighlight lang="nix">

nixpkgs.overlays = [

(final: prev: { openssh = prev.openssh_gssapi; } )

];

</syntaxhighlight>
