10.9.5 Mavericks Server SSH Inoperable

I use Mavericks Server at the house.

SSH is not working.

I read this forum and did what it said : https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=8947

Changing permissions in /var/empty/ allowed me to get past the RSA prompt, yet for some reason it will not accept my password for a remote connection.

I next repaired permissions with diskutil repairpermissions / and rebooted to no avail.

Connecting over 1 GB Ethernet.

Suggestions?

Thank You
