    95% of the time, it's incorrect permissions on ~ or ~/.ssh or
    ~/.ssh/authorized_keys or some directory leading up to ~ itself.

    NONE of those directories or files must be group- or world-writable.

    Running the client in debug mode is not helpful for this kind of problem.
    You must run the *server* in debug mode to get the output you want.
