Try running "ssh -1" instead and see how it behaves? The -1
option instructs it to use the SSH1 protocol. The earlier message left
me with the impression that you are now defaulting to the SSH2 protocol
(remarks about known_hosts2 - which is for the SSH2 keys) which is what
never versions of OpenSSH do. You are asked to reconfirm the SSH2 host
keys, because it didn't retrieve them under SSH1. You are asked the
passphrase, because you haven't set up and SSH2 identity or authorized_keys
file (warning... Some version of OpenSSH 2.x use authorized_keys2 but newer
versions are deprecating that and all keys, RSA1, DSA, and RSA2, should
go in authorized_keys). Because it CAN connect on SSH2, it does not TRY
SSH1 at all. It falls back to SSH1 only if you specify -1 on the command
line, or it fails to even negotiate SSH2 in the connection or you have
"Protocol 1,2" (instead of "Protocol 2,1") specified in your ssh_config
file.
What has changed is the default. Earlier versions defaulted to
"Protocol 1,2". Newer versions now default to "Protocol 2,1".
