No, I'm attempting to use a password in both cases.

I'm using passwords in both cases.

edit: woops, didn't see the thread had rolled over to a second page.

Is it possible to create a fresh new user account and see what happens with that one?

Yeah, I thought of that too, and the same thing happens with the fresh new account as happens with the second account. Have you tried it? You don't need a second mac to make this happen. It happens even when you try to ssh into the same box.

Hmm, thinking out loud...

Have you checked /etc/sshd_config and /etc/ssh_config ?

One thing worth checking would be "AllowUsers" within sshd_config.
