auto login failure: PEM_read_PrivateKey

[Bill Rees]

Hey All,

    Can anyone tell me what the following message implies?  What does 
PEM_read_PrivateKey do and why would it fail?
    This is the result of trying to setup ssh for autologin.  Though I 
follow the man page, it doesn't work.

        debug1: PEM_read_PrivateKey failed


Thanks,
Bill Rees
