I know the default key size is 768 bits with OpenSSH. Is it possible to
change this value from 768 to 1024? If I'm not mistaken, 1024 bits encrypts
the key while 768 sends it as plain text. Correct me if I am wrong, please.
Also, I was reading Hacking Linux Exposed and it said I should change
RSAAuthentication to "no" because this is an insecure method of
authentication because it doesen't require the user's password if someone
just copies the key from .ssh/authorized_keys. I'm a little confused about
that. I use SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.1p1.
Basically I am a little woried about sshd's configuration file defaults. I'd
like to tweak them to the most secure possible settings. The method of
authentication I plan to use is username/password.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
