I was trying to setup Hadoop and was stumbled on passwordless ssh to localhost.
I am getting a password prompt when trying to connect using ssh username@hostname format.
But there is no problem connecting to the machine like ssh localhost or ssh hostname.com. Tried ssh-copy-id user@hostname but it did not work.
Using CentOS 6.3 as normal user, I neither have root access or am a sudoer so editing any files like sshd_config is not possible (not even cat the sshd_config file contents).
I hope the user login is possible since I can do login without password to localhost, right?
Please advise,
Here is the ssh debug output.
