I have a rather strange problem with my SSH configuration. I set up my server with the help of a Remote Access Card and configured everything with a
KVM viewer.
So while being logged into the server via the
KVM Viewer I configured SSH with only pubkey and tried to login from my local laptop. It worked fine.
If I quit the
KVM Session (or logout with the user in the
KVM session) I cannot login via ssh anymore (pubkey denied). SSH login only works as long as the user is somewhere still logged in.
Any hints what the problem might be?
