Thank you, I changed PasswordAuthentication to 'yes' and this time it asks me 6 times for my password (3 times beginning with "Password:" and another 3 times with "Password for [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and rejects me again with the same message from sshd. Adding more verbosity didn't help me to understand the problem. I also noticed that my ida_dsa.pub key ends with "ivan@" . Usualy I have seen it ending with "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". Is this a problem? Thanks again for the help!
