I did read that bit, but it says "When this user tries to login using
ssh with public key authentication".  As my email says, using public
key authentication works just fine.  It's when I explicitly supply a
password that it doesn't, so I didn't suppose there was any point in
trying.

In any case, I _have_ now tried and it doesn't help.

Thanks,
