RSA Key Conundrum - Strange error!

eastonch

Hey guys,

Just got a new node, and honestly, I dislike the thought of myself having to come look for answers here, but this one has really got me.

We created a keypair through Putty and distributed a pub key to a RHEL 5 for testing, this works fine.
However, we just got this new RHEL 6 node and it doesnt seem to like it, we've set it up the exact same, told the config what to do, etc. etc. However...

We get when trying to connect, however when we're in debug mode... we get a different story, SSHD will allow the private key and access the public key:

We've compared configs with the other node, and that seems fine. We're really confused and honestly, anything would help, Permissions have been set properly, I mean the only other thing I can think of is SELLINUX being a bitch. A reboot is going down shortly to see if that fixes it.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
Chris.

EDIT:

SELLINUX was the root cause of this, my absolute hatred for this problem! :Z

isn't it SELINUX?

SELinux is the cause to all the worlds problems IMO.

A restorecon would have fixed your problem.
