    Hello Russel,

    I am suspecting an issue on the server side.
    Can you provide a verbose log of the server side,

    Regards,

    Franklin

    On my main system I have two user accounts, 'rcarter' and 'sardine'. I remove the .ssh directories from 'rcarter', 'sardine', and 'root'. I
    create a new rsa key for rcarter (creates ~rcarter/.ssh) and then
    ssh-copy-id -i the new key to sardine@localhost and root@localhost,
    which creates a new .ssh directory with authorized_keys for each.
    Then I ssh-add the new key to the agent as rcarter.

    1. $ ssh sardine@localhost logs in w/o password
    2. $ ssh root@localhost asks for password

    This is reproducible on two 'testing' systems that have worked
    flawlessly for at least two years each, but were both dist-upgraded yesterday, and they now exhibit this same behavior.
