[Beowulf] Passwordless ssh - strange problem

[laytonjb at charter.net]

Ahhh.. PubkeyAuthentication is commented out. Could that be it?
The finny thing is that other users don't have this problem and
root doesn't have this problem. Only this account. Weird. Extra Weird.
I wonder who I pissed off? (there are many)
Thanks!

Jeff
