I've attempted a connection from another account on the machine from which I could not do so previously, with ssh -v and... it worked! I made a successful connection. So, then I went back to the account from which I could not connect, ran ssh -v and I got the following: [...] debug1: Offering RSA public key: /home/[user_name]/.ssh/id_rsa Connection closed by [ip_number] Aha! So it's my old RSA key that's the culprit here. I removed it and this time the connection worked just fine! In summary, it appears that it all works as it ought to right out of the box. I configured sshd on the target machine with the "-y" option, which, I presume, builds a default server configuration. My only suggestion would be that, if the connection is refused the reason for refusal should perhaps be printed back to the user, even without the -v option. Many thanks for your help.
