I'd like to change .ssh/config so that when muscle memory does a "ssh too-old-host" again, I get output to the effect of "use the 'foo bar baz' command instead" (and ideally, OpenSSH itself does not even *attempt* to connect).

Is there an .ssh/config trick to that effect that I don't see?

You could abuse a text config setting, like

Host foobar
Hostname ": You should use ssh -O PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa"

which gives me:

% ssh foobar
ssh: Could not resolve hostname : You should use ssh -O PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa: nodename nor servname provided, or not known

Or BindInterface:

% ssh foobar
getifaddrs: You should use ssh -O PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa: no suitable addresses getifaddrs: You should use ssh -O PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa: no suitable addresses


Although of course, if that were the problem, you could simply apply the fix instead:

Host foobar
PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms +ssh-rsa
