      The supported macs and kex methods in trilead are severely outdated, resulting in connection issues with properly secured ssh daemons on target machines. For instance:

      sshd[9800]: fatal: no matching mac found: client hmac-sha1-96,hmac-sha1,hmac-md5-96,hmac-md5 server hmac-sha2-256,hmac-sha2-512,umac-64@openssh.com,hmac-ripemd160 [preauth]

      In JENKINS-14709 a suggestion is made to replace trilead with orion, but Orion is not being maintained either. Orion refers to Ganymed, but even that hasn't been looked at for almost 2 years: Ganymed commits. It does seem to support hmac-sha2 macs though.

      From JENKINS-36873 (dupe)

      The ssh credentials plugin is unable to connect to slaves that have newer algorithms

      The keys from Jenkins (client) and slave (server below) have:

      fatal: no matching mac found:
client: hmac-sha1-96,hmac-sha1,hmac-md5-96,hmac-md5
server: hmac-sha2-512-etm@openssh.com,hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com,umac-128-etm@openssh.com,hmac-sha2-512,hmac-sha2-256,umac-128@openssh.com [preauth]

      Jenkins yields a trace:

      On our slaves we would like to have hmac-sha2-512 / hmac-sha2-256 but that is not supported by Trilead SSH.
