I’m sorry I have to ask again. You are trying to connect to a host "historicalmaterialism.info" and login as user "haines"? Why and how do you differentiate between client hosts and server hosts and most importantly
>the client user account (brownh@historicalMaterialism.info)
>to client user account (haines@historicalMaterialism.info)
that mean? Are you trying to connect to "historicalmaterialism.info"
from that very host, with your current account being "brownh" and you
want to login as "haines"?
Also:
> $ ssh -vv haines@historicalMaterialism.info
You tell ssh to log in as user haines on the host historicalmaterialism.info here.

But here, your username is suddenly engels – why?

OK, maybe I completely misunderstood the syntax – but wasn’t the part
before the "@" the username you want to login as? Here you call
"engels" a client machine, while above, engels was a username!

Looks sane.

So does this.

And this.
I would guess it’s a great confusion with usernames and hosts, but
I’m not sure.
