Public bug reported:
after upgrading our control server to Ubunto 16.04 LTS I do not get a key
response from ssh-keyscan from some legacy hosts while others with the same
OpenSSH revision work ok.
Here is a sample output where you can see that in the first query that there is
just the SSH version displayed but no key part.
The queried hosts are all HP-UX 10.20 with OpenSSH 4.1
ssh-keyscan -t rsa -4 host1
# host1:22 SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.1
ssh-keyscan -t rsa -4 host2
# host2:22 SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.1
host2 ssh-rsa

If I do the same on host1 from an Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS it works
ssh-keyscan -t rsa host1
# host1 SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.1
host11 ssh-rsa
