Doing some more googling. Lots of hits about people who want to log
in as root (opposite of me). Apparently, you need a .ssh/config file to
force that. I don't remember ever setting one one up. But I looked in
.ssh; lo and behold, there it was. "cat" showed that its contents were
Host thimk
KexAlgorithms +diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
User root
I renamed the file, and behaviour returned to expected behaviour...
[i660][waltdnes][~] ssh thimk
[thimk][waltdnes][~]
The question is how did .ssh/config ever get there in the first place?
