HMMM does running a tail on /var/log/messages
shed any light on the problem?
root> tail -f /var/log/messages
If the SSH client is on a windows box,
try with the local ssh client
gooduser at SLES9> ssh -l baduser localhost
password:
I find things work more reliably for wierd clients
if you DIS-able ssh1 in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
FWIW,
