Thanks to both of the responders... -so far-<br>
<br>
Dean- I used the default config file which worked on my test boxen
(protocol 2,1).<br>
Bob- Tried changing the PassAuthen to yes (stop and start sshd) and
used keyboard authen on client.<br>
Still no joy.<br>
I's weird that the test box/build worked fine on the first try... If it
were Winders I'd say reinstall ;) <br>
<br>
Anyone else?<br>

Check to see if your ssh config(sshd_config) on your linux box is only
allowing ssh2 and your windows ssh client is trying only ssh1?

I'm generally too lazy to use keys so I do interactive keyboard
authentication with a password. But many times the /etc/ssh/sshd_config
needs this line added:
PasswordAuthentication yes
That always has worked for me - if you use SSH Secure Shell as the Windows
client, make sure you choose Keyboard Interactive as the authentication
method.
You might at least give this method a try.
Cheerful regards,
Bob
