the ssh client actually doesn't know what the problem is unless the
server tells it.  It's generally a bad idea for the server to publish
that sort of detailed error message, especially when authentication has
failed; this would be equivalent to publishing information about the
user's home directory to anyone who asks.

If the problem is on the server side, you'll need to read the server
side logs to diagnose it, sorry!
