I am trying to set up a new RPi Arch image, everything was going swimmingly till I tried to SSH into it and I get 'Permission Denied' every time.
I know root access by ssh is disabled by default, I have tried enabling it but I still cannot SSH in as either root or a user.
The sshd service is running and I can run 'ssh localhost' from the machine itself and it seems fine.
I can ssh into another RPi on the same network running Raspbian so that rules out something on the network blocking it, and I can also ssh OUT from the Arch Rpi to other devices on the network.
The *really* bizzare thing, is that from the Raspbian RPi, if I clear the known hosts, then I can connect once and it works, but only once. After that its 'Permission Denied' again. Trying to connect from Putty on Windows I have never managed to get in even if I clear all the known hosts.
EDIT:
I have tried using a known working public/private key pair which is also refused.
And tried using the sshd_config file from my working Raspbian machine which also did not change anything.
Where do I start to debug this?
sshd_config and output from ssh -vv is below.
