Since this doesn't ring any bells, I assume that it has not been set up.

ssh -V says:

local:  3.2.0 on Alpha
remote (linux): OpenSSH_6.7p1

No.  This was a completely unexpected error.  I set up an account 
essentially as a clone of another account, but only the new one has the 
problems.  Only one of 4 other old accounts has the problem.

modification.
