I'm trying to setup an ssh-server on F31 which logs a user in

Than comes the strange : I stoped the service by "systemctl stop sshd" and
did run "as root" /usr/sbin/sshd. And than it just worked. (tried to stop
and start with systemctl again made the passwordless login fail again)
Question : why does is work with just running "/usr/sbin/sshd" but not with
"systemctl start sshd" ?
One thing you should check is the permissions on the ~/.ssh on the machine you're
trying to connect
to. If it is not 700 you will get the behavior you cite.
