If this is inconvenient to you, you could have your users upgrade putty
to a more recent/latest release.  I remember there was a small problem
with the old putty defaults getting out of step with what OpenSSH in
FreeBSD was offering them, causing putty to fail.  New realeses of putty
worked by default - I think he fixed the handling of Challange-Response
authentication.
