[Bug 1280496] Re: ed25519 host key not working on 6.5p1

[cc]

So I did a little more investigating and tested   "ssh <hostname>" and
"ssh localhost"


Also, it seems that the key is HostKeyAlgorithms  in .ssh/config. Search HostKeyAlgorithms in ssh_config


If I manually force it to only use ed25519, then the host key exchange happens over ed25519, else it uses ECDSA.


So there's something strange going on with the setup. Support is there but the defaults are wonky.
