	We recently were caught off guard by what appears to be the same
  problem you are having.  The problem was using ssh on a very old v2.1.0
  system.  Somewhere along the way the crypt lib has changed and this is
  what caused us our problem (we try to have our clients stay current, but
  we can not always make them drink the water we lead them to).  

   	You can test by cutting and pasting the login password from a current
  system to the old system.  If ssh works, it was probably the change in 
  crypt eluded to above.
