Subject: sftp "connection closed"

When "ssh host" works but "sftp host" doesn't, where should I look?
 
Both were working before. But I realized that I needed to fix
/etc/passwd and /etc/group
for another reason, so I did mkpasswd and mkgroup. Then did
ssh-host-config again.
 
With that done, now I am happy to see the ssh user finally become the same user
as the console user. They were different before. On the flip side,
though, sftp doesn't
work anymore. I can do "ssh host" just fine.
 
I appreciate your help.

Here is how it doesn't work.
