Remote SSH Connections Hang

[aardvark]

Ok I'm trying to setup a new keypair'd ssh user to follow my truenas logs remotely.

I've got it setup to the point where MobaXterm (or Putty) is able to login automatically with the private key to the new account and I can execute commands. But when I attempt this remotely, it hangs at "Authenticating with public key [superman]". Something similar happens when I log into my main user account (with password auth). It just gets stuck after or during auth.

The odd thing is, MobaXterm runs an sftp (ftp over ssh) explorer alongside the shell terminal that seems to be working quickly and correctly. I can see my files and folders there, and even open and save them remotely without issue. Since they work correctly locally, and sftp works correctly remotely even, I'm kind of stumped.

shell is /bin/sh
