What a strange query toralf 
ssh accept them thru its authorized_keys file, i suppose i would change the file owner to prevent ssh reading it to temp disable any user with a key to access it without password.
I don't know if ssh as any option for that. |

Create a ~/.ssh/config file with the following contents | Code: |
Host <IP_Address or Hostname of remote>
User <your user id in remote>
PreferredAuthentications password |

The problem is the remote host - it seems, that there the .ssh/<files> are somehow damaged : | Code: | debug1: Connecting to [<snip>]port 22.
debug1: Connection established.
debug1: identity file /home/tfoerste/.ssh/identity type -1
debug3: Not a RSA1 key file /home/tfoerste/.ssh/id_rsa.
debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type '-----BEGIN'
debug3: key_read: missing keytype
debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type 'Proc-Type:'
debug3: key_read: missing keytype
debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type 'DEK-Info:'
debug3: key_read: missing keytype
debug3: key_read: missing whitespace
...
debug3: key_read: missing whitespace
debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type '-----END'
debug3: key_read: missing keytype
debug1: identity file /home/tfoerste/.ssh/id_rsa type 1
debug1: identity file /home/tfoerste/.ssh/id_dsa type -1
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

What I already tried is to remove my local .ssh directory away - but that doesn't helped - and the messages above are related to the remote files. |

the id_rsa.pub (the public key part) looks like
| Code: | ssh-rsa ...= id@host
|
and the id_rsa (the private key part)
| Code: | -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
...
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
|
Your log shown the BEGIN and END, the user might have copied over the public key into the private key or your server offering the wrong key, i'm not quiet sure who is to blame. I would say the server close the connection, so the client is not doing the things right. |

good idea - doesn't work - seems that the remote sshd is configured to not accept pass phrase ? |

Yes. could be that the remote sshd does not accept password authentication. Since all the problems are from remote, your best option is to contact the remote admin.
