All three boxes are running Debian Linux on i386 type machines, fairly
standard PC hardware. My personal machine is running the frozen beta
version of Debian, potato, and the two servers run the stable released
version of debian, slink.

Can't say about the server boxes, on my client box I did a plain
configure.

I found out today that I can log in to both boxes using RSA
authentication, but login to one of the servers still fails when I try
to do plain password authentication. The error message is somewhat
strange.
