Imperfect Forward Secrecy: 1024-bit DH attack #57

Hi,
after reading about the recent DH attack I was wondering if we should change the default key exchange methods for this module. I know that we could still use DH using parameters of at least of 2048-bit but I'm worried that most of the sysadmins will not do it.

I also like the idea of this module that provide an hardened ssh config with a simple

include ::modulename

I don't think we should add: "...BUT in case you use DH kex methods this is not valid anymore if you use DH parameters < 2048bit"
