      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      Most of the rules related to SSHD strong crypto (e.g. xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_sshd_use_strong_x) check and propose to add stanzas into /etc/ssh/sshd_config instead of configuring appropriately the system-wide crypto policy.
      This somehow contradicts with the system-wide crypto policy benefit, which is to keep everything in one place and affecting the whole system, and not tune each service individually.
