This is the version of setup. Try `uname -r' instead.

How old is your old openssh package? In recent versions of OpenSSH(*)
there's an explicit check for the username, and it is forced to be the
same case as in /etc/passwd. This has been added after an upstream
discussion as to how to handle user names in ssh_config Match rules.
See `man ssh_config' for the Match rules.
