[tlug] Ubuntu 16.04-LTS SSH authentication problems

[Charles Muller <acmuller@example.com>]

I've tried upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04 on a few machines, with both 
Kubuntu and Gnome (in all cases running on VMware), and when I try to 
SSH to my servers, not only do I get a password prompt, but the password 
is not accepted. I duly reset the $HOME/.ssh/ permissions, to no avail.

I haven't yet tried to generate a new keypair, thinking that I would 
first see if any TLUGers have encountered this problem, or might have a 
guess as to what the problem could be. I saved copies of my Ubuntu 15 
installation, so I've rolled back on my all of my other installations 
except for one, where I'd like to see if I can resolve this.
