#5428 Incorectly reports RSAAuthentication setting

[Rich Painter]

On CentOS 7.9 and OPENSSH 7.4 openssh reports in the log file:
Deprecated options in SSH config:
RSAAuthentication - line 139

OPENSSH instructs us to remove the RSAAuthentication or comment it out. The current setting was
RSAAuthenticaion no

When the setting is "RSAAuthenticaion no" Webmin->Servers->SSH Server->Allow RSA (SSH 1) authentication? shows No

However, SSH will continue to log the "Deprecated" error. If one removes this line or comments it out then SSH will be happy and not report the error.

Unfortunately, Webmin->Servers->SSH Server->Allow RSA (SSH 1) authentication? shows Yes when there is no RSAAuthentication entry in the config file.

This is a bug.

Actually that option shouldn't be shown at all.

What is the output from the command sshd -h on your system?

Thanks - since that option is deprecated, we'll hide it for newer OpenSSH versions in the next Webmin release.
