sx270:/etc/ssh # ssh -l 1 localhost
Why would you want to try username 1? Try ssh -1 localhost. It forces the use of Protocol 1, just like ssh -2 localhost forces the use of Protocol 2.

There you have it: you can't log in using username 1. :)

lol, I guess that makes sense:) Its been a long day, I guess I should proof-read my posts before I send them, huh? Okay, so I can ssh locally using v1, but cannot ssh from a Windows host using PuTTY ssh v1. ssh v1 from another Linux hosts works fine. I have some more information --> just found that you CAN ssh to a SuSE 9 box using PuTTY ssh v1, if the SuSE box is a default install that hasn't been updated. After I confirmed that it worked on a default install, I ran a YOU update and rebooted the workstation. After the reboot and updates, I'm having the same problem where I can't ssh in using Putty ssh v1. One of the YOU updates is breaking the OpenSSH server somehow. Chris
