Re: SSH madness

Since you haven't restricted your SSH server to public-key-only then any
client can choose to offer a password if they have one. Most clients
choose to try key before password if they have one but that can be
changed on the client. Perhaps the mac client has set password to be
their preferred option. I'm not a mac person but for an openssh client
you can check out their config file and verify what they have for the
PreferredAuthentications setting. The order matters.

We are trying to give a new employee access to the PASE/Bash command

For the life of me, I cannot figure out what is different between the way
they are configured and I am. This all works for me when using my key

and

my profile. If I add my Mac's key to their authorized_keys file, it will
not let me connect either (yes, I used their user name).

I have a lot more system authorities than the new employee does, but I
can’t imagine why that would be the issue.

Is there a specific authority a user needs to be able to communicate with
the SSHD?

Does anyone have any other ideas?
