Thanks, Greg. I trimmed your message just to let you know that it does
not work.

me@mymachine:~$ sudo service ssh restart
me@mymachine:~$ ssh xb1158@localhost id

I now will read carefully your (and the other messages sent in reply)
and will give a more thorough reply in a while. When I send my messages,
I send them and do not read the answers (arrived in the meantime) first,
so please do not think that I'm not interested in them.

Many thanks.
