I'm trying to log in my SSH administration console on my
laptop-turned-server.
I can connect fine from other devices, whether locally or from remote.
Here on iPhone with iSH, an Alpine Linux emulator, I get this strange
behavior
where it will display the log in prompt (see below) as if the logging in
were
successful but immediately disconnect. This happens both locally and
from
remote, the log in this case is from remote.
I believe the instructive lines are
