    ssh will probably tell you if you run it with -v. E.g., one problem may
    be permission bits or ownership of various files sshd needs. Pay
    particular attention to the «Authentications that can continue» line of
    the output. It should contain «publickey», but if not, the reasons will
    be apparent above it. If it does, what happens after «Next
    authentication method: publickey» will leave important clues. Server
    configuration may also screw things up.
