Never seen this (I have 2.9p1 on my Unix-hosts and 2.4.0-pl2 for the Windows clients). Just a shoot into the dark: The client and server cannot agree on a server key with an algorithm supported by both parties. Since SSH-2.4.0 only supports Protocol 2 and (to my knowledge) only supports DSA keys, I would assume that you don't have a DSA key for protocol 2. With respect to other Unix-clients working: maybe they use protocol 1 and you have a RSA1 key for it. Maybe you have a working RSA (protocol 2) key, but this is not supported by SSH-2.4.0. My entries in /etc/ssh/sshd_config look like HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key (The first is RSA1 for protocol 1, the latter are RSA and DSA for protocol 2.)
