The problem persists, but adding
PasswordAuthentication yes
helps.

However, if this is a system user, then why won't PAM pick it up
automatically? And why will the box let me login with
ssh user_at_localhost


Seems like this just waits to bite people's asses (the box in question
stands 1m beside me, but I don't want to imagine what would happen if
it were on another continent...).

Regards,
Gabriel
