Greetings,
Hi. :-)
I have an ssh problem - one user can use it successfully, another cannot. I
have checked and rechecked permissions until I am blue in the face …
At the moment just trying to ssh into the same machine I am on for the problem
user (the other user can ssh successfully, both to the console machine and
outwards to others).
Agent problem ? The successful user was setup in the installation, the problem
user was added at the command line after initial setup.
Trouble-shooting can be tedious...
Log output follows, appears to fail after the preauth stage …
Any suggestions gratefully accepted
root@sirius/etc/ssh # journalctl | grep sshd | grep "Nov 12 13:45"

I would enter the following commands into the indicated accounts and
computers, substituting place holders with actual values (USERNAME,
SSH_CLIENT, SSH_SERVER). If you still don't see it, cut and paste your
console sessions into a reply:
1. As the user having problems on the computer having problems:
$ whoami
$ hostname
$ cat /etc/debian_version
$ uname -a
$ dpkg-query -W openssh-client
$ ls -aFl /home/USERNAME/.ssh
$ ssh -v SSH_SERVER
2. As root on the SSH server:
# hostname
# cat /etc/debian_version
# uname -a
# dpkg-query -W openssh-server
# ls -aFl /home/USERNAME/.ssh
# grep USERNAME@SSH_CLIENT /home/USERNAME/.ssh/authorized_keys
# tail /var/log/auth.log
