Recently installed FC7 from the FC7 Live CD on a PC.

Started the SSH server on FC7 machine and when i tried to connect to the ssh server i get the message "Local: Bad packet length 1349676916"

I tried to collect more information by running the command in verbose mode and this is what i saw ...

1349676916 corresponds to 0x50726f74 which is "Prot" in ASCII

What might be the problem?

Changed the ssh server configuration file in /etc/ssh/sshd_config to use both protocol 2 and 1 and restarted the ssh server using "/etc/init.d/sshd restart" and it started working.

Protocol 2,1
#Protocol 2
