[Beowulf] Passwordless ssh - strange problem

[laytonjb at charter.net]

And Reuti wins the prize!!!! The root of the account (.) was 777. I
changed it to 755 (so others can look at it) and now it works!!!
I need to create a nice script that checks all of the things that
everyone has mentioned. I never would have thought to look at
(.).

Thanks everyone for your help. It's really nice to see so much help
on the list.

Thanks!!!

Jeff

P.S. If you come to SC07, find me and I'll buy you a beer or whatever
you want. If you can't find me, find Doug Eadline (probably in the
Appro booth being a booth bunny and he can find me). This goes
for anyone. If we have the LECCIBG (or however it's spelled, I can
buy there). Maybe we'll also have another Clustermonkey bash.
