Thank you for testing it.  I appreciate it.  Let me do what I can to help
you (it's not much but anyway).

This message is from PAM.  It corresponds to PAM_AUTHINFO_UNAVAIL in the
PAM sources.  Looking for PAM_AUTHINFO_UNAVAIL in Linux-PAM-0.75 shows
possible cause - my name is missing in /etc/passwd or in /etc/shadow.

Hint - sometimes my username is missplelled as "proskin" or something like
that.  Make sure that it's "proski".

That's from OpenSSH.  24 is a type from the mon_table.  Types are listed
in monitor.h.  24 is MONITOR_REQ_KEYEXPORT.  Looks like an induced error
message.
