I'm trying to connect to a RHEL9 VM using ssh. When attempting, it gives the error: Connection closed by xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 22 I checked the /var/logs/secure log and found the following error Connection from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 65527 on xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 22 rdomain input_kex_gen_init: key exchange type c25519 is not allowed in FIPS mode [preauth] ssh_dispatch_run_fatal: Connection from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 65527: invalid argument [preauth] I've checked the firewall to allow port 22, I've checked the sshd_config and it matched a known good. I have no idea what could be blocking me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
