[Openstack] ssh from VM to VM

You probably also copied the private key when you did this, which from your
description, is the bit you were missing. I.e., you were going from a
hostA(with private key X) -> hostB (pub key X in authorized_keys, no copy
of private key X) -> hostC (pub key X in authorized_keys), hostC was
denying you access because you did not have private key X that it could
authenticate with.

Sounds like you probably want to be using ssh auth forwarding see "ssh -A"
when using ssh-agent, this way you're not proliferating copies of your
private key!

Cheers,
