Public bug reported: after upgrading our control server to Ubunto 16.04 LTS I do not get a key response from ssh-keyscan from some legacy hosts while others with the same OpenSSH revision work ok. Here is a sample output where you can see that in the first query that there is just the SSH version displayed but no key part. The queried hosts are all HP-UX 10.20 with OpenSSH 4.1
