ssh password problem

[Frode Petersen]

I had ssh set up and working. Then I got passwordless ssh working using 
rsa public keys.

Now, some days later, I can't get ssh to authenticate either way and in 
either direction. (Same user on both machines.)

I'm asked for the password (3 times in sequence), but it is rejected 
every time. I do enter the password correctly. I log in locally using 
the same passwords without a problem.

Since the password request appears, I'd think that the connection can be 
established, and that the problem lies within the domain of 
authentication, but am a bit perplexed as to how to proceed. How can I 
figure out what the problem is?


You have been very helpful in the past, so I chance a:
