you should use OpenSSH mailing list.
see (http://www.openssh.com/).


PS:
I'm using openssh-2.9p2 on Solaris8/sparc, compiled with openssl-0.9.6b
using gcc-2.95.3 (gcc from companion CD).
it works well.

I suspect that you encrypt the private key.
the private key for sshd (host key) should be un-encrypted,
and of course read-only for root.
you should specify empty passphrase:

  ssh-keygen -p "" ......

-- yozo.
