[ale] SSH hangs

[Dow Hurst]

Is the remote server set to not reverse lookup?  Cause that could 
redirect the key somewhere else, right?  The initial connection is the 
client sending to the remote server, which works based on your log 
below.  Except that the machines do exchange what protocol is being 
used.  I don't know enough to comment any more.

Now, I will say that different versions of SSH or OpenSSH don't always 
work smoothly together.
