Also, given the fact that you haven't set "StrictMode" in your sshd_config
to "yes", this shouldn't matter. I think you really want to look at the
debugging info from sshd. The fact that pubkey authentication works fine
without the password but not with suggests to me that there's a problem
with the password you're using or your public keys aren't in sync on
both machines. You could also look at that before/after viewing the
output debug info from sshd.
