The old system is DR DOS of some kind.

The new system is 6.2-RELEASE

The old system is the client, which cannot connect and
is having the problem.

The new system is just a plain old FreeBSD 6.2 system
and has no problems.

The old system is the client - and it shows:


SSH-1.5-OpenSSH_3.7.1p2

It would not connect at all, and we then connected
with a '-1' argument (after adding protocol one to the
servers sshd_config) and it now connects, but again, I
am getting this cipher error:


ssh -v -1 -c 3des user at freebsd6.2release


and this is my verbose output:

So it is saying that 3des is not supported by the
server (which is freebsd 6.2-release)  ...  what in
the world is wrong ?
