The part of that https://weakdh.org/ site that concerns me most is the
statement about 25.7% of SSH servers being vulnerable if the 1024bit D-H
group is broken.  We've got pretty good instructions for hardening
anything that uses TLS against this attack, but not a lot on SSH.  About
the only relevant thing I've found is:

  http://blog.mro.name/2015/05/hardening-ssh-debian-wheezy/

which inter-alia suggests upgrading to OpenSSH-6.6 -- which has been in
FreeBSD-10 since March ---, modifying some config parameters:
KexAlgorithms, Ciphers, MACs and then regenerating ed25519 and rsa host
keys.  Err... what? How are ed25519 and rsa host keys affected by a
downgrade attack on Diffie-Helman?

	Cheers,

	Matthew
