It now seems to be a public key problem even with a normal bash login. Steps (CentOS 5.4):

- useradd <user>
- cp -R ~<existing user>/.ssh   ~<new user>/
- chown -R <new user>:<new user>  ~<new user>/.ssh
- Append to AllowUser line in sshd_config:   <new user>@<my ip>
- service sshd restart

So now the new user account has the same .ssh/authorized_keys file as an existing user with a working login. However when I try to login all I get is:

Permission denied (publickey)

/var/log/secure

... says nothing other than "Connection closed by <my ip>"
