If it was looking for a particular version number it would be
something more like "Wrong OpenSSH version found". But yes, Esko's
offering with s/version/version number/ is less ambiguous.

Esko's "Retrieving [list of] users on channel ${0}..." seems
plausible apart from the problem with finding a cover term for
channel/board/whatever. But presumably smuxi users are going to be
aware what kind of a thing {0} is already, so it might be best to
just give up and say "Retrieving user list for ${0}..."
