Yes that works ( ssh -l <user> localhost ). So that means it has to do with the network connections. But these are all in-house connections that are sitting right on my workbench. The switch and cables are less than a year old (I know that doesn't mean much). But if you think this problem is pointing toward a network condition, I can sure change out some things real fast and prove that right or wrong.On 12/8/19 11:23 pm, Keith Steensma wrote:The same thing happens if I fill in 'root' as the login even though a 'root' login is not permitted in the default 'sshd_config' configuration.

If it is your network getting in the way it mayrule that out.
