ssh hangs and shows no output #1257
Description
In a Questing (25.10) VM, when I use ssh to log in as an authd user on localhost, the ssh command hangs without printing any output:
ssh test@ubudev1.onmicrosoft.com@localhost
The same happens when I try to log in as a non-existing user:
ssh not-a-user@localhost

description: |
authd is a powerful authentication service for Ubuntu, designed to
integrate with cloud identity providers like Microsoft Entra ID. It
delivers a secure, flexible solution for organizations and individuals who
are transitioning to cloud-based identity management on Ubuntu workstations
and servers.
authd uses the OAuth Device Authorization Grant and ensures a consistent
and secure login experience across Ubuntu Desktop and Server — whether
through GDM, SSH, or network services like NFS and Samba.
Key Features
* Cloud identity provider Integration: Connects with Microsoft Entra ID
* Secure Login: authd leverages the OAuth Device Authorization Grant RFC
8628-compliant workflows for reliability and security.
* Open-Source: Free and community-driven, with contributions welcomed.
* Enterprise ready: Ubuntu Pro customers will benefit from the same
expanded security and support guarantees.
* authd is free for all Ubuntu Desktop and Server 24.04 LTS users and is
under active development. Explore the official documentation for
installation and configuration steps, or visit the GitHub repository to
contribute or provide feedback.

## Force remote authentication with the identity provider during login,
## even if a local method (e.g. local password) is used.
## This works by forcing a token refresh during login, which fails if the

##
## If set to false (the default), remote authentication with the identity
## provider only happens if there is a working internet connection and
## the provider is reachable during login.
##
## Important: Enabling this option prevents authd users from logging in

## New authd users (who have never logged in before) are *not* allowed to log

## If configured, only users with a suffix in this list are allowed to

## Note that this does not affect users that already authenticated for
## the first time and already exist on the system.
##
## Suffixes must be comma-separated (e.g., '@example.com,@example.org').
## To allow all suffixes, use a single asterisk ('*').
##
## Example:
## ssh_allowed_suffixes_first_auth = @example.com,@anotherexample.org
##
## Example (allow all):
## ssh_allowed_suffixes_first_auth = *
##
#ssh_allowed_suffixes_first_auth =
## 'allowed_users' specifies the users who are permitted to log in after
## successfully authenticating with the identity provider.
## Values are separated by commas. Supported values:
## - 'OWNER': Grants access to the user specified in the 'owner' option
## (see below). This is the default.
## - 'ALL': Grants access to all users who successfully authenticate
## with the identity provider.
## - <username>: Grants access to specific additional users
## (e.g. user1@example.com).
## Example: allowed_users = OWNER,user1@example.com,admin@example.com
#allowed_users = OWNER
## 'owner' specifies the user assigned the owner role. This user is
## permitted to log in if 'OWNER' is included in the 'allowed_users'
## option.
##
## If this option is left unset, the first user to successfully log in
## via this broker will automatically be assigned the owner role. A
## drop-in configuration file will be created in broker.conf.d/ to set
## the 'owner' option.
##
## To disable automatic assignment, you can either:
## 1. Explicitly set this option to an empty value (e.g. owner = "")
## 2. Remove 'OWNER' from the 'allowed_users' option
##
## Example: owner = user2@example.com
#owner =
## A comma-separated list of local groups which authd users will be
## added to upon login.
## Example: extra_groups = users
#extra_groups =
## Like 'extra_groups', but only the user assigned the owner role
## (see 'owner' option) will be added to these groups.
## Example: owner_extra_groups = sudo,lpadmin
#owner_extra_groups =
