I stumbled into this trap at a previous time and it took me several hours and
debugging.  The problem is that even an "ssh -v u...@host" don't tells you
why the authentication falls back to password.  I assume there is a
configuration
option to change this behaviour which does not sound logical to me.

I took the relevant steps:
    ssh-copy-id sameu...@localhost
(or doing this step manually) does the trick.

Yes.  As always if any user wants password less login.

Sure.  I'll do so.

Kind regards
