Have you had a look at your .ssh/config on the client - you might have specified in there which method/keys to use and forgotten about it. I've been through this loop a couple of times thinking why on earth is the login session behaving like this, only to discover that I had set up some parameter in the config file and forgotten all about it. -- Regards, Mick
