[freeside] Remote Host Disconnected: Connection lost after ssh connect

[Gordon Smith]

If your using OpenSSH 2.1, check versions on BOTH machines. SSH2 doesn't
come with ver 1. It will auth then disconnect if version 2 is trying to use
version 1 compatability mode. It needs to have ssh1 installed, and ssh1
compatability set up in /etc/ssh2/ssh_config.
