Furthermore, and I think the two problems are related to eachother,
when I run ssh-keygen I get "You don't exist, go away!".

This error is thrown when the getpwuid(uid) system call does not find a corresponding line for your userid in /etc/passwd (or NIS, LDAP, among others, depending on where user information is stored).

Does tty login work for non-privileged users? In that case you may need to include

UsePAM yes

to your sshd_config file.

Another possibility is a corrupt /etc/passwd file. Did you or anyone else edit it directly? What about the permissions (it should be readable by world)?
