The "invalid name was supplied" is not the problem. I see that whenever
I connect (successfully) to my linux (or any other) box. I think the
problem is illustrated in the line:
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,keyboard-interactive

There is a known problem with the compiled version of openssh on Tiger.
UsePAM is supposed to be off by default, but it's not. Try adding
'UsePAM no' to the sshd_config file on the Mac.
