           Summary: connection closed by remote host
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: -current
          Platform: Sparc
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh

Hi,

I am using OpenSSH_3.4p1 on Solaris 8 systems to implement password less logins 
between two servers.

I have created a public/private key from one account on server HostA., I have 
then copied the "id_rsa_pub" key to a user account on hostB.
in directory $HOME/.ssh, the permission of the authorized_keys file set 
with "chmod 600 authorized_keys", the .ssh directory is set to 700 by chmod,
the $HOME directory permisions is also set to 755.

When I try to connect using the command "ssh -l usernameA HostB" I receive the 
following messages:

Connection to unixs348 closed by remote host.
Connection to unixs348 closed.

The connection was NOT successful

I have taken the same "id_rsa.pub" file and tried it under a second account  on 
HostB,with exactly the same permissions setup as above, and the 
command  "ssh -l usernameB HostB"  from HostA completes SUCCESSFULLY.

I have created public/private keys for passwordless logins on many of our 
servers,  setup in exactly the same way, I have no idea why the 
ssh connection failes on one userid and is successful on the next, can anyone 
shed some light on this for me,

Thanks in advance for any help.....
