I have taken a brief look at the debug info you submitted. I believe you only have a setup problem. If possible try to let you Mac OS X computer login on a another clean account on your Linux box. What do the settings file for the sshd deamon look like on your Mac? What kind of password id do you use normally?

Here is a nifty little hack for the Terminal. I would like the window title of the terminal to reflect the hostname of the current login machine. This shows $HOSTNAME plus the usual stuff by adding the following to your bash profile (~/.profile): export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD/$HOME/~}\007"'

I found a good low level intro to "The X Window System" in Andrew S. Tanenbaum's Modern Operating Systems (International Edition) ISBN 0130926418 p. 356 - 360.
