Hi Gary,
 
Is the user name same on both machines?
If not try:
$ ssh <suse 9.0 login name>@<suse 9.0 IP address>

Otherwise it will try to log you under your login ID on machine that
you connecting from, and if there is no such account on suse 9.0
login will fail, and you'll see password prompt again.

Greetings
Rajko.
