PIX SSH

I am having an issue with Cisco PIX and consistency in SSH.  I have multiple 506E remote sites and a HQ 515E PIX.  I support them from home at sometimes.  I recently added a statement to all to allow SSH access.

ssh myip mysubnet outside

The HQ and a remote work, but one remote does not let me connect.

putty log excerpts below.
-------------------------------
Event Log: Writing new session log (SSH packets mode) to file: putty.log
Event Log: Looking up host "XX.XX.XX.XX"
Event Log: Connecting to XX.XX.XX.XX port 22
Event Log: Server version: SSH-1.5-Cisco-1.25
Event Log: We believe remote version has SSH1 ignore bug
Event Log: We believe remote version needs a plain SSH1 password

Does that particular PIX have DES enabled?

View from "show ver"

What version OS?

I don't have logging enabled at remote properties.  Any particular level you'd recommend?

OK.  I got it.  Need to generate RSA keys for them to connect via SSH.
Thanks! Glad you're working.
Good stuff in the logs. I never leave home without..

Do you kind of have a standard logging recommendation.

Steve
logging on
logging timestamp <-- also setup NTP to get accurate timestamps
logging buffered debugging
logging trap errors
logging history warnings
logging host inside <host IP>
logging host inside <alternate host IP>
no logging message 106011
no logging message 313001

If I need it during troubleshooting only:
logging monitor debugging
