my nagiosxi is on centos6 with OpenSSH_5.3p1, OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013

I haven't tested this with Gentoo or Arch Linux, but tried it on CentOS 6 (with the default sshd config) and it worked for me.

I discussed the issue with our developers, and they believe that the problem is caused by the sshd config.
