Title:
  focal sshd snubs VX Connectbot

Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  what is the subtle change to sshd such that now VX Connectbot no
  longer gets any response?  VX Connectbot can connect to the bionic
  sshd just fine, even if it's running on the focal kernel.  but gets no
  response from the focal sshd.  what's up with that?

  yes meanwhile it works fine to connect to the focal sshd from
  elsewhere eg from the bionic ssh client.  so what's the subtle snub to
  VX Connectbot?
