    /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 60: Bad SSH2 cipher spec '-arcfour,arcfour128,arcfour256'. Getting this error what may be the reason Commented Jun 8, 2021 at 13:20

    Although I would love having this feature, I believe the - prefix is not supported anymore and that's the reason of the error @AbhinavKinagi is getting. In fact, check: bash man sshd_config and you'll see: Specifies the ciphers allowed. Multiple ciphers must be comma-separated. If the specified value begins with a ‘+’ character, then the specified ciphers will be appended to the default set instead of replacing them. Commented Oct 8, 2021 at 9:53
