If you are connecting and do not even get a password prompt, but it
simply just dies at what's supposed to be the authorization, turn
compression OFF in the sshd_config file:

Compression no

There were a few notes regarding compression becoming an issue. I've
noticed this on RedHat 6.2 with Kernel version 2.2.21 and the stock
kernel it comes with.

RedHat 7.1 with 2.4.x doesn't appear to have this issue that I'm aware
of, but I've not looked into it further. It worked and that's all I
really cared about.

Also, make sure that you've created /var/empty.
