I remeber having this exact same problem. As Brady pointed out, by default sshd wants to use SSH 2. You can configure sshd to try SSH 1 first, and then SSH 2. Off the top of my head, though, I can't for the life of me remember how I did that. (sorry!) > Your client doesn't support SSH 2, only SSH 1.
