Description Richard W.M. Jones 2011-02-02 18:27:16 UTC 
Description of problem:

ssh-ing as non-root to a virtual machine gives:

$ ssh 192.168.122.76
rjones.122.76's password: 
Connection to 192.168.122.76 closed by remote host.
Connection to 192.168.122.76 closed.

(The password there was correct).

However it works if I log in as root.

On the server side there's not much in /var/log/secure.  For
unsuccessful non-root login it says:

Feb  2 18:24:00 rawhide sshd[1474]: Accepted password for rjones from 192.168.122.1 port 48653 ssh2
Feb  2 18:24:00 rawhide sshd[1475]: fatal: mm_request_receive: read: Connection reset by peer
Feb  2 18:24:00 rawhide sshd[1474]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user rjones by (uid=0)
Feb  2 18:24:00 rawhide sshd[1474]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user rjones
Feb  2 18:24:00 rawhide sshd[1474]: syslogin_perform_logout: logout() returned an error

For successful root login it says:

Feb  2 18:19:31 rawhide sshd[1385]: Accepted password for root from 192.168.122.1 port 56091 ssh2
Feb  2 18:19:31 rawhide sshd[1386]: fatal: mm_request_receive: read: Connection reset by peer
Feb  2 18:19:31 rawhide sshd[1385]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2011-02-02 18:28:08 UTC 
There's nothing much in /var/log/messages.  Any other
log files I should be looking at?

SELinux is Permissive.

The VM is using systemd.
Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2011-02-02 18:29:16 UTC 
I can log in as non-root at the VM console (ie. using
virt-viewer).  And I was able to log in to this machine
before just fine, before updating all the packages to
the latest Rawhide and rebooting it.  After that big
update and reboot, the trouble started.
