Chapeau Igor! Here was the problem. I checked the "application log" and found: The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( sshd ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: sshd : PID 3468 : starting service `a' failed: redirect_fd: open (1, /var/log/sshd.log): 13, Permission denied. So I went to /var/log and saw that sshd.log belonged to the SYSTEM account, but was not writable. Making it writable solved the problem.
