I recently installed the latest Ubuntu 12.04 64bit alpha (2?) onto a VMware virtual machine in order to check things out.
One strange thing I've encountered is that I can only successfully ssh into the machine if I am logged into the console. If I log out from the console, I get a permission denied.
This is pretty baffling so I'm hoping someone else has seen this.
The following is the output.
