Hi,
On CentOS 5.4 x86_64 (and maybe elsewhere), trying to ssh on a node will trigger the following error if -v option is used.
=> Unspecified GSS failure.
It seems that kerberos is involved here (missing).
A solution is to update the /etc/ssh/sshd_config on clients and replace
GSSAPIAuthentication yes => GSSAPIAuthentication no
(nice to have config cleanup).
