Can't SSH to SLES9 SP3 from Windows

One of our servers was recently updated to SLES 9 SP3 and is dual booting RHEL4 up2. I can ssh from a Linux machine to the SLES 9 system just fine, but I can't ssh to the SLES 9 system from a windows system.

I can ssh from a Windows machine if the SLES 9 system is booted under RHEL4 up2 though. What can I do to make the SLES 9 system be able to be reached via putty, or f-secure from a Windows system? Are there some ports i will need to open?

what program are you using on the windows machine to ssh into your linux server?

Putty and F-Secure

I figured out the problem. For some reason, the SLES9 etc/ssh/sshd_config file comes with PasswordAuthentication set to no...I switched it to yes and everything works fine.
