My limited SSH knowledge tells me that there are two SSH protocols:
- 1.5
- 2.x
Either your client or their daemon is running 1.5 and causing the
problem. On your client run:
ssh -V
to find out what protocls your client supports. Do the same on your Sun
box. What you may find is that your client is OpenSSH and the server has
the proprietory version of SSH and there's a protocol incompatability.
Solution: Make them both the proprietory SSH or both OpenSSH (not fun on
a Sun box, I just did it but this URL helps:

You'll be most interested in the Solaris section.
There is probably another solution to this (there always is isn't
there?) but this is the best advice I can give you anyway ;)
