A failure related to this I saw is to have (too) many keys in ssh-agent,
and running ssh without telling it which exact key to use. The client
tries each key in turn and the server rejects the connection attempt after
seeing too many keys tried. "ssh -v" is useful to diagnose this mode of
failure, and an entry in ~/.ssh/config like:
Host example.com
User myusernameoverthere
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa-for-example.com
would fix it.
