Конфигурация сервера ssh - input_userauth_request: неверный пользователь

У меня проблема с настройкой моего SSH-сервера для возможности входа с открытым ключом без пароля.

tail -f /var/log/auth.log дает

Feb  6 14:56:06 ubuntu sshd[24654]: rexec line 26: Deprecated option RhostsAuthentication
Feb  6 14:56:28 ubuntu sshd[24654]: Invalid user mpsd from ip.ip.ip.ip
Feb  6 14:56:28 ubuntu sshd[24654]: input_userauth_request: invalid user mpsd [preauth]
Feb  6 14:56:28 ubuntu sshd[24654]: error: Received disconnect from ip.ip.ip.ip: 14: No supported authentication methods available [preauth]

Я проверил, что /home/mpsd/.ssh имеет 700 и /home/mpsd/.ssh/authorized_keys имеет 600 разрешений. author_keys содержит открытый ключ rsa, сгенерированный на моей удаленной машине с Windows. мой sshd_config читает

# Set this to 'yes' to enable PAM authentication, account processing,
# and session processing. If this is enabled, PAM authentication will
# be allowed through the ChallengeResponseAuthentication and
# PasswordAuthentication.  Depending on your PAM configuration,
# PAM authentication via ChallengeResponseAuthentication may bypass
# the setting of "PermitRootLogin without-password".
# If you just want the PAM account and session checks to run without
# PAM authentication, then enable this but set PasswordAuthentication
# and ChallengeResponseAuthentication to 'no'.
UsePAM no

Я не знаю, почему в сообщении говорится, что пользователь недействителен, поскольку оно явно существует. Спасибо за любую помощь.
