Hi there --
One of our servers is running the 5.3 32-bit release. When a user logs into the system via an SSH terminal connection, he first sees an "Access denied" message, and then gets a password prompt. He is able to enter the password, and log into the system without issue. It appears the error message is a false positive.
A check of the messages and secure log files did not show anything apparent. What would cause this message to occur?
I get that when I'm using PuTTY with pageant, automatically presenting an ssh key, which the server I'm connecting to doesn't recognise.
Maybe something like that?

I had a similar issue with PuTTY after upgrading to v 0.61. I disabled Attempt GSSAPI atuthentication (SSH-2 only) under Connection>SSH>GSSAPI.
