More likely: the default SSHD configuration was changed to permit v2 connections only following a compromise of the v1 protocol. This happened a while back. PuTTY gets the reject from the v1 attempt, and doesn't retry with v2. The Unix ssh clients are configured to try v2 if v1 fails. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
