Quoting Spydr <spyderw3b@cox.net>:

okay - let me provide link as a reference after I explain - type 5 is ssh1
response to authentication attempt with a shared secret (SSH_AUTH_TIS) seq 5
means something is wrong with the user string

http://mia.ece.uic.edu/cgi-bin/lxr/http/source/ssh1.h?v=openssh-3.5p1
 

review the SSH1.h for additional types and seq responses. Typically, this is
a result of a miss configuration on the client. Looks like from the logs
provide remote host got the public key for your machine, opened the session
to authenticate the user but the user string didn't match an authorized
account

i'm getting the following error in syslog:

Jul 24 11:40:22 possible-rogue-laptop sshd[19041]: Accepted publickey for
dewey from 127.0.0.1 port 40876 ssh2 Jul 24 11:40:22 possible-rogue-laptop
sshd[19044]: (pam_unix) session opened for user dewey by (uid=0) Jul 24
11:40:22 possible-rogue-laptop sshd[19044]: dispatch_protocol_error: type
5 seq 5


this happens on different target hosts running freebsd/openbsd/linux and
differing openssh versions; the sequence number is dynamic, but the type is
not.

ssh key-based logins from openssh client via ssh-agent works fine. the
problem is only evident when attempting the same from paramiko (python ssh
client).

while the problem may be with how i'm controlling the python client, i don't
know where to look or what to try because i haven't yet found what
"dispatch_protocol_error: type 5" means.

can someone shed some light on this?

excellent pointer, thanks for the lead. i'll start working in that direction.
the interesting thing is that i *thought* the server config had ssh1 disabled.
