    As in comments to question check the /var/log/secure or /var/log/auth.log. In my case I see "User xxx from xxx not allowed because not listed in AllowUsers" "input_userauth_request: invalid user xxx [preauth]" ( and "rexec line 35: Deprecated option ServerKeyBits" in /var/log/messages although I dunno what that is). To resolve vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config, add user xxx to AllowUsers list, service sshd restart *** BEWARE restarting sshd service with bad sshd_config might lock you out of a box!? ***. That worked.
