OpenSSH 3.4p1 on SourceMage client ssh fails

[Damien Mascord]

Hi guys,

I have a OpenSSH 3.4p1 installation on a SourceMage box, and I am trying to 
connect to a OpenSSH 3.3p1 installation on a RedHat 7.x box and any other 
machine.

The client fails with a "Host key verification failed."

Any other client connects correctly to the RedHat box, and any other server 
that I try to connect to from the SourceMage box fails with the same error 
message.  The output of the debug for ssh client and ssh are as attached.

I can connect to the SourceMage box fine from any client, though cannot 
connect outwards... any ideas?

Damien
---------------------------

The configure that I used for OpenSSH 3.4p1 on the SourceMage box is as 
follows:
./configure  --prefix=/usr            \
                --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh    \
                --with-md5-passwords     \
                --mandir=/usr/share/man  \

I am also using OpenSSL 0.9.6d.

$ openssl version
OpenSSL 0.9.6d 9 May 2002
