We had a similar issue and oddly enough changing our ssh config file to
turn ForwardAgent off fixed it:

1) grep ForwardAgent ~/.ssh/iLO-config
ForwardAgent no

Subject: ssh error dispatch_protocol_error: type 100 seq 8 when
accessing iLO

Hello,

I've been having this error message for a while when trying to access
some iLO I/F using ssh from Debian (or Ubuntu) :

$ ssh Administrator@{iLO Address}
Administrator@{iLO Address}'s password:
dispatch_protocol_error: type 100 seq 8
buffer_get_ret: trying to get more bytes 4 than in buffer 0
buffer_get_int: buffer error

I tried to google the msg and found that the guys @Debian are having the
same problem

Bug#343896: no longer works with HP iLO :
http://lists.debian.org/debian-ssh/2005/12/msg00025.html

I don't get that problem when trying it from RHEL3 or AS2.1 (don't have
a RHEL4 handy to test). Anyone have an idea on a fix ? Should I wave at
the Debian guys on the list and offer to work on this ?

I don't know if/when it is/will be fixed in the iLO firmware. If you are 
reading this and running the latest firmare for the iLO in your system, 
please report the following,

1) your hardware model
2) your iLO firmware version
3) the version of ssh you are using
4) if you are seeing the problem or not

Hopefully we can determine when it is fixed and can tell people what they 
need to do to fix it on their systems.

Thanks,
