Problem connecting to v2.9.9p2 on Solaris 8

[Ed Phillips]

I ran into a weird problem yesterday where Putty can't connect to my
OpenSSH/Sol box (and still can't ever since).  On the Putty side I get the
error message:

"internal fault: chaos in SSH 2 transport layer"

I've attached the "sshd -d -d -d" syslog output.

Any ideas what's going wrong here?  From a layman's point of view, it
would appear that Putty and OpenSSH can't decide on key algorithms... but
why would this happen?  I use Putty to connect to other
OpenSSH2.9.9p2/Sol8 installs (the same compiled code) and it works fine...

Thanks,

	Ed
