+
+  OpenSSH 6.7 disables some insecure ciphers by default, such as arcfour
+  and blowfish. You may have clients using these over LAN where security is
+  considered less important for the connection. For these cases you may need
+  to update your Ciphers entry in your sshd_config to enable them again.
+
+  See http://mgalgs.github.io/2014/10/22/enable-arcfour-and-other-fast-ciphers-on-recent-versions-of-openssh.html
