It might just be that the client on your machine is trying to enforce  
security standards which weren't available when the older server was  
written. It may not be the version you have to change, but something  
else - look, for example, at the variety of -o options in `man ssh`.

You might find that `ssh -v hostname` (or `ssh -v -v hostname` or  
`ssh -v -v -v hostname`) gives more information about the problem and  
enables you to find a workaround (using the current client).
