    Just a thought. The 'public keys' needed by the commercial versions are
    stored
    in a different format: see ssh-keygen(1) the -e option. When you generate
    public
    keys for use with OpenSSH severs, you don't need the -e.

            + private key (openSSH format)
            + public key (openSSH format)
            + public key (SecSH format)

    So the public key (file) you use on commercial system CANNOT be the same one
    you use on the OpenSSH server.
