Enabling the authentication debug on both server, I discovered that theownership of the /root directory had been changed to my regular machineuser instead of root.root on the TWO MACHINES.

I did not issue a chmod on the machines as far as I know, especially onone of the two machines that seldom log in.


Dunno what has been causing that but I suspect a wrong install script.
