We are currently running the ssh.com v 3.2 client on several of our systems.
We have no problem connecting to servers running openssh v3.5 or 3.7.
However we are not able to connect to a server running openssh 3.9. I have
looked in the FAQ and in the mailing list archives since the release of 3.9
but have not seen anything about this. Here is the output from using ssh

Note the line:

The connection closes without even prompting for a password. Did something
change in openssh between 3.7 and 3.9 that might be the cause of this
problem. Is there anything that can be done about it (do we need to upgrade
the version of ssh.com we are running?)?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
