“Connection closed by [HOST IP]” using dsa key authentication

Question

I have a shared /home setup using Perceus Cluster Software (http://perceus.org) for our Cluster. Nodes are using CentOS 6.1 x86_64. /home is shared from the head to the nodes b

Answer 1

SOLUTION:

Following the advice below I checked /var/log/security on the node (host). It showed:

fatal: Access denied for user user by PAM account configuration

I then edited /etc/ssh/sshd_config changing:

UsePAM yes

to

UsePAM no

Restarted the node and I can now perform password-less logins.

Thanks!
