These last 3 mean you didn't use ssh-user-config, contrary of what you said
before... but that is not the problem.

OK, nothing unusual here.

Does user "dan" has a non-empty password?  If no, are you sure you are usin=
g the
correct exact password?  The output above shows what happens when you use t=
he
wrong password, uppercase/lowercase/length has to be correct.

Did you change anything in /etc/sshd_config?

Let's try public key:

As user "dan" run ssh-user-config, it should ask you a few things and take =
some
time to generate your private/public keys.

Check that the keys were created in /home/dan/.ssh (names are identity, id_=
dsa,
id_rsa, and the same with .pub extension -- not all 3 are necessary but at =
least
one of the id_[dr]sa is); if they were not created check the permissions on
~/.ssh, they should be "drwxr---- dan None".

Run `cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys` (change id_dsa.pub if=
 you
don't have the rsa key).

Try again `ssh dan AT localhost`, this time you are using password-less login
(public key).
