I'm finding more puzzles than answers. When I try to ssh into big the behavior is different from that for sshing into cmn. For big a debug trace indicates that the had shaking and mutual indentification is going well until there is a message "debug1: Roaming not allowed by server" Then the process switches over to asking for a password, which I am trying to avoid. I can't find any information on "Roaming". I don't have any idea what the word might mean in this context. It isn't mentioned in any documentation that I have searched. Any ideas? Or leads? If 'roaming' is not allowed, perhaps setting something some config file will make it be allowed.
