Well, this is strange. The 5.2.1 box and the 4.10 box both have the same
sshd_conf options, however the OpenSSH versions are different (but
expected)

5.2.1
OpenSSH_3.6.1p1 FreeBSD-20030924, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL
0x0090703f

4.10
OpenSSH_3.5p1 FreeBSD-20030924, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL
0x0090704f 

Do you have any non-default settings to disable remote root access on
your 4.10 box? This 4.10 box was recently upgraded from 4.9 (using
cvsup), maybe I missed something is all I can think of.
