Hi,
I can't connect to a older version of OpenSSH on a Gentoo Linux server:

OpenSSH_3.9p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7i 14 Oct 2005

Keeps getting the following error(only error):
Authentication Failed

I can connect from putty without issue using the same username/password.

Any Ideas? The only error returned is Authentication Failed.

Check that you use the same authentication method as Putty.
Also, please, make sure that in the sshd_config file on SSH server the following line is set:
PasswordAuthentication yes

Hi,
Yes I checked all that, both are using password authentication and it's properly set in the server config file.

I also checked the logs on the server and no errors where raised, not sure what is going on.

If you haven't solved this problem yet, please check, if you can connect to any other OpenSSH server.
