[Beowulf] Passwordless ssh - strange problem

[James Bardin]

Hi Jeff,

Did you specify the key on the command line (-i .ssh/id_rsa), or load it 
into an agent with shh-add?

You can make sure you're sending the key by increasing the verbosity 
(-v), and check the logs on the clients. sshd will log why it rejected a 
key for authentication.

The permissions should be 600
