Hi Mike and everyone. Below is the explanation from dreamhost regarding my dh key exchange situation. A bit of background. Dreamhost has a special program allowing International Nonprofit organizations who can demonstrate tax exempt status to have a hosting account with their service. My employee got such an account years back, they have offices both in new York and Toronto. I have asked Brian to share the documentation dreamhost provided its nonprofit organization members in this program of their so called business decision. I pointed out that many in the nonprofit sector are using less than hot off the shelf tools to manage their internet efforts, with this business decision creating a risk for more than myself. Further, I pointed out that I am at the moment, physically incapable of making changes having not been able to work fully since the end of June. I share his first post, I have not gotten an answer yet to my reply. I dare say the simple solution would be, if they exists, an easy way to manage it, finding another company all together. At the same time though I would welcome educating other dreamhost customers, say via there twitter presence, if they have one. Thoughts on their explanation?

Hello,
"I don't see that there should be any trouble connecting to
dreamhost.com..."
Simply connecting to dreamhost.com is not a valid test, as there are no customers ever hosted on our main web site. That server is reserved for internal use only. It has only internal use logins on it. Encryption is maintained via a separate system.
"However there is a problem with Eugene.dreamhost.com Since dreamhost.com still should allow my ssh client to connect, the question is if my account can be placed on a server that will allow such a connection."
Again, we are not hosting customers on any servers that support the method of encryption you're looking for. I wish we could, but we have made a business decision not to support that type of connection style for customer logins. We will be updating dreamhost.com shortly.
"You were going to move our account in any case, at least I have e-mails saying that was going to happen."
That will simply be a move of email, to a different email server. This is unrelated to where your web service lives.
Sorry I can't be of more help here.
Thanks! Brian H
