FreeBSD uses this protocol by default, but most Linux distributions default to version 1 for compatibility reasons. Public key authentication only appeared in version 2, so machines trying to use version 1 will not be able to use it properly. The quickest way to achieve this is to force remote systems to use version 2 by adding this in /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the FreeBSD system (it should already be there for new versions): Protocol 2 Note that a setting of 2,1 will not work as it will still server protocol 1 if clients request it first.
