There is a similar file to sshd_config called ssh_config (note the missing 'd' in the second one) in the same directory /etc/ssh/ There you can specify which protocol(s) your ssh client uses to connect. I'd say that would probably be a good test. Change the line # Protocol 2,1 to Protocol 1 and try to connect. You should not be able to connect. Then change it to Protocol 2 and you should be able to connect. Note, you only use one client, ssh, you just tell it which protocol(s) it can use. The default is to use 2 first, then 1 if that fails. 2 is a better protocol and sshd should be forced to use only 2 as your auditor has told you. Is this the default for Fedora? I forget as we change it to only use 2 at work. Jonathan
