Daniel,

Here is the debug output from libssh2:

As you can see, after I get the failure event, I still get fingerprints
and those fingerprints are correct. But I can't actually see the
hostkey at all.

I can login without a problem. I'm using the connection in a port forwarding mode, and that works just fine. But when I started the testing I wasn't doing any key verification.
