RE: SSH Autologin problem

And mysteriously, after two reboots... it works. Don't know why, but it does.

OpenSSH, which is what I assume you're using, can be quite picky about group/world-writeable directores... it's possible to disable this check by setting "StrictModes no" in sshd_config, although that wouldn't be my recommended approach.

    Another possibility (albeit unlikely) would be that the sysadmin has explicitly disabled public-key authentication, either globally or for specific users/groups. An examination of sshd_config should reveal this, assuming that they haven't also made the file unreadable (as my own sysadmins are rather fond of doing).

  It might also be helpful to run the ssh client in verbose mode, like:

$ ssh -v node1

  or

$ ssh -vvv node1
