Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:4.6p1-4
Severity: normal
Before configuring key based login, I was able to log into the Hurd box
as a normal user. But after adding the key using ssh-copy-id, I'm not
able to login to the box at all (with or without the password).
At this momeny ssh works, because I can still login as root.
This is what I got from syslog

Hello,
Seeing this old bug report.
password-less login does work on the Hurd in my tests, so closing.
