Get "Too may authentication failures" connecting to local karaf 3.0.1 instance

["KARR, DAVID" <dk...@att.com>]

I have to make some changes to some old legacy code, which uses Karaf 3.0.1.  I have some issues configuring it, which I'm covering in other threads, but I'm also having trouble connecting to the local instance using ssh.

When I start it with just "bin/karaf" from a Windows cmd shell, and then "ssh -p8101 karaf@localhost" (after configuring ~/.ssh/config with some obsolete ssh algorithms that karaf 3.0.1 is using), I get this output:

Yes, the "may" in the title was not a typo (not mine, at least).  Any idea what might be going on here?
