Now I am having a PermitRootLogin issue because it's happening after the login prompt. Another poster also suggested "ssh -vv" which I ran locally on the LiveFS machine and it confirm that the connection is closed after public key auth fails and it moves to keyboard-interactive. Don't know what to try next. Seems that I can only kill sshd by rebooting. It ignores "kill -15" or "kill -9" commands. Thanks for your help. Drew -- Like card tricks?
