Problem with SSH2 Auhentication using Public/Private Keys

[Govin Varadarajan]

Further to my earlier email....

On looking at the log files on the device running the
F-Secure Server (F-Secure-2.0.12)to which I am trying
to connect to using Public/Private Keys, I understand
that the server receives a bad packet while verifying
user's (root) publickey.

Here is the output log on the F-Secure Server
==================================================================================
Dec 24 15:28:51 NHL sshd[163]: connection from
"17.16.19.14"
Dec 24 15:28:51 NHL sshd[13583]: DNS lookup failed for
"17.16.19.14".
Dec 24 15:28:54 NHL sshd[13583]: got bad packet when
verifying user root's publickey.
Dec 24 15:30:04 NHL sshd[13583]: Remote host
disconnected: Connection closed.
Dec 24 15:30:04 NHL sshd[13583]: connection lost:
'Connection closed.'
==================================================================================

Has anyone come across such a problem ? Any help would
be appreciated.  

Thanks
