Please be aware that 2.9p1 will do SSH-2 by default. You need another set
of keys with SSH-2. These are usually called id_rsa[.pub] and/or id_dsa[.pub]
and the public keys are now in authorized_keys2.
You cannot use the old keys for the new protocol.
Use "ssh-keygen -t rsa" to generate a RSA key for protocol 2.
Best regards,
Lutz
