yes, of course. Its DEBUG. But debug 1 seems to be enough next time.

I guess your sshd_config reads something like:

AuthorizedKeysFile home/lobs/.ssh/authorized_keys2

But that is plain wrong and only works for one user.

Try outcommenting this line completely in sshd_config.

_Or_ if that fails use a proper value like:

AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys2
