具体现象表现为使用SecureCRT登陆时,出现如下出错提示:
Public-key authentication with the server for user sw failed. Please verify username and public/private key pair.
查看服务器日志,找不到有用的相关记录。
之后直接在另一台机器上使用ssh连接,打开verbose模式(ssh -vvv),如下:
123
...
debug1: Next authentication method: password
sw@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx's password:
求助万能的Google,发现serverfault上有一个案例的现象和出错信息与我遇到几乎一样,提问者怀疑是SELinux导致的。

下面的回复证实了确实是SELinux的问题,并且给出了解决方案:
Yes, SELinux is likely the cause. The .ssh dir is probably mislabeled. Look at /var/log/audit/audit.log. It should be labeled ssh_home_t. Check with ls -laZ. Run restorecon -r -vv /root/.ssh if need be.
Yep, SELinux was the cause: type=AVC msg=audit(1318597097.413:5447): avc:denied { read } for pid=19849 comm=“sshd” name=“authorized_keys” dev=dm-0 ino=262398 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:sshd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 tclass=file
It works after running “restorecon -r -vv /root/.ssh”. Thanks a lot.
