What I meant is that you could have a user named development as a local use=
r,
and (a different) domain-user with the same name.  I did not mean a "domain"
user, just if there was several "development" users.

It looks like the answer is no.

Back to the original problem: did you use ssh-user-config?  (I guess you did
since you had to copy the public key).

What you reported about the log is simple, the password used is not correct=
...
it should prompt you 3 times and then close the connection; or the configur=
ation
does not allow password authentication, let's check this last one:

In /etc/sshd_config you should have:

#PasswordAuthentication yes
#PermitEmptyPasswords no
#UsePAM no

Those are the defaults, that's why they are commented.
