The problem was the securelevel=2. If you have securelevel=2 set, the username for an ssh tunnel cannot log in and set up the tunnel with a shell of /nonexistent. I have no idea why - ssh tunnel failed with a message taht the home directory did not exist ... which is correct, since it shouldn't exist. I removed the securelevel setting and it worked perfectly (the ssh tunnel). I have no idea why the securelevel setting would cause this... Any ideas ? I would actually like to set securelevel=2, but I also need my ssh tunnel to work ...
