When upgrading from 4.10 to 5.3, suddenly the Windows PCs could not connect anymore , with a similar error as you get. Upgrading was the solution. I never tried to downgrade the newer SSH version on FreeBSD to handle old versions; I considered the reverse a better way :). Curiously: a nother PC running 4.10 had no problems to connect to 5.3. Only Windows' SSH programs had such problems. Rob.
