yup pretty much, though then I was told to ignore the doc.  sigh! 
even updating the ciphers and creating a new public key I'm still getting unsupported cipher, and I'm at a loss as to why. Putty works fine. 

it appears to agree on the info or at least the way I'm seeing it. I guess I'll try to load all of the ciphers and macs back in and see what happens.
