Hmm. Never seen this (I have 2.9p1 on my Unix-hosts and 2.4.0-pl2 for the
Windows clients). Just a shoot into the dark:
The client and server cannot agree on a server key with an algorithm
supported by both parties. Since SSH-2.4.0 only supports Protocol 2
and (to my knowledge) only supports DSA keys, I would assume that
you don't have a DSA key for protocol 2.
With respect to other Unix-clients working: maybe they use protocol 1
and you have a RSA1 key for it. Maybe you have a working RSA (protocol 2)
key, but this is not supported by SSH-2.4.0.
My entries in /etc/ssh/sshd_config look like
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
(The first is RSA1 for protocol 1, the latter are RSA and DSA for protocol 2.)
Best regards,
Lutz
