In case anyone comes across this in web searches, I've tried many different things, and now suspect that using an OSX master with ssh slaves may simply not be a workable configuration, for unknown reasons. I've seen plenty of reports that it does work well with a Linux master, so that is my intent, and my suggestion to anyone in my situation.

The node is configured with the username and password, using the default port (which is correct). From a manual connection, there is an entry for the slave node in ~/.ssh/known_hosts. Other types of slave nodes are fine. When I try to start the node, or to look at the node's logs, I just get a spinner. In Jenkins's logs, I see "Excess workload 1.0 detected. (planned capacity=0.0,Qlen=0.99999976,idle=0.0&0,total=0m,=0.5)". In system.log, I see "Attempting to reconnect <node-name>". Other than that, I see no signs of activity, including in the slave node's auth log. Can anyone provide me with guidance on where to look next?
