[lug] stupid ssh config question

[Steven A Hart]

Might have just found the problem.  I had PasswordAuthentication set to
no.  Like I said, stupid mistake.

I know setting things up this way is not great, but since this is not open
to the outside world, I think it's ok for now.

Thanks for the help everyone.  Sorry to be a bother.

Steve
