When I've seen this before on this list, it's because you are in a domain
and your user is a domain user.  If that's the case, you want to create a
domain account to run your sshd server or use a local user to ssh in with.
If this doesn't describe your situation, I'd recommend adding debug flags
to your sshd server so that you can see a full log of things on that side
of the fence.  Typically this is very illuminating for server-side issues.
