Hi Ian,
Try logging in using command line ssh2.exe, where you
can specify debug options:
ssh2 -d 4 server_name 2> ssh2_output
Then look in the debug log for the authentication sequence.
Find out what type of authentication is allowed from the
server, then see what type of authentication the client is
trying. Most likely, you are getting this message before
being prompted for a password or passphrase because those
two items are not reconciling.
If you can't determine what the problem is, please copy that
same section (authentication) of the debug info to the list,
so everyone can review.
Thanks,
Steph
