Description: SSH does not work without passwords.

Affects: Front-end PC system software SSH functionality

Summary: The version of SSH installed by default by many Linux distributions 
including RedHat 7.x are configured to always require passwords.

Symptoms: SSH does not work without passwords.

Solution:  Install the "-non-askpass" version of OpenSSH available on your
distribution's CD-ROM, or use the SSH commands provided by Rocketcalc in 
the /usr/local/rocketcalc directory. These versions of the SSH commands will
not require passwords once the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file is configured in 
each users home directory. For detailed information on configuring OpenSSH, 
see the System Administration Guide included with the cluster.
