Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

You seem to be saying that the ssh client on 15.10 cannot read its own
key file? I'm using 15.10 and reading my key file fine. If this bug were
as simple as you describe then I'd expect thousands of bug reports
within days of 15.10's release. Since this isn't the case, it seems
likely to me that this is a local configuration issue on your system. If
you disagree, then please could you provide steps to reproduce the
system on a fresh Ubuntu system?

So since it seems likely to me that this is a local configuration
problem, rather than a bug in Ubuntu, I'm marking this bug as
Incomplete.

If indeed this is a local configuration problem, you can find pointers
to get help for this sort of problem here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community

Or if you believe that this is really a bug, then you may find it
helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively"
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful
if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem,
explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem
specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New.

Title:

Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:

  host A     ubuntu 14.04.3   -- running ssh-server  

  
  client B and C      

  client B 14.04.3  can connect no problem with ssh keys only to host A
  (to me this means openssh-server is fine on Host A)

  
  Client C  15.10   cannot ssh to host A,  openssh cannot or refuses to load identity files;  output of ssh -vvv below

  ###at this point connection hangs -- sometimes i get back "ssh_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer"


  permissions on files look OK to me:

  $ ls -all .ssh
  total 24
  drwx------  2 user user 4096 Jan 15 12:53 .
  drwxr-xr-x 26 user user 4096 Jan 15 12:13 ..
  -rw-r--r--  1 user user  396 Jan 15 12:53 authorized_keys
  -rw-------  1 user user 1679 Jan 14 16:15 id_rsa
  -rw-r--r--  1 user user  395 Jan 14 16:15 id_rsa.pub
  -rw-r--r--  1 user user  1094 Jan 15 12:18 known_hosts

  and home dir :
  $ ls -all /home
  drwxr-xr-x 26 user user  4096 Jan 15 12:13 user

  
  actual username replaced with "user"
