I tried to connect to planetlab node using ssh. It throws me error like Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive). What does this mean? Here is the verbose of the exception.

A: 

The server first tries to authenticate you by public key. That doesn't work (I guess you haven't set one up), so it then falls back to 'keyboard-interactive'. It should then ask you for a password, which presumably you're not getting right. Did you see a password prompt?

i set up the public key already. Plus, it doesn't prompt me for password at all.

Any resolution on any of this? I'm going through similar pain at the moment and hoped this question might draw some answers...
