They are both running Debian, and there is no SSH key set up. However,
it also happens when I use PuTTY from work, so it seems to be related
to the server side. (That's PuTTY on a Win2000 box -- no Linux at work).

Both my Debian boxen are running OpenSSH 3.0.2p1-8.3.

It doesn't seem to apply to my situation.

BTW, I didn't say so specifically, but the logs don't seem to show
anything at all. Unless it's logging somewhere strange.

Any tips on how I might debug it would be good. I know I don't have
the proper information for a good bug report, but I also don't know
what else to do beside checking the logs.
