If file not found then not in use.
Are you removing details from the output? IE:
Authenticated to <server> ([ip.address of server]:22).
Mine says
debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey).
Authenticated to nos ([10.222.0.4]:22).
Another thought is what does the passwd file say for your login? I have /bin/bash on the end
What user are you trying to login as?
Are you running any scripts at login that may be failing?
Have you tried another user?
Maybe create a new user and try logging in with that just to remove the user as being an issue.
