Hello, I have a seemingly intractable problem with passwordless logon.

I can ssh with no password from hostA to hostB. But I cannot go from hostB
to hostA.

When I am on hostB, this is the output from ssh -vvv hostA:

[dev@hostB .ssh]$ ssh -vvv hostA

The public key for hostA is in the known_hosts file of hostB.

Here are the uncommented lines only from sshd_config on hostA, which is
the same as the file from hostB

SyslogFacility AUTHPRIV
X11Forwarding yes
Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server

Here is the directory listing on hostB

What am I missing? Thanks for your help.
