This is a key line.  Despite the fact that the machine advertises it use a 
public key, it really can't, that's why it's not accepting it.  This is 
endemic to machines that accept kerberized SSH sessions at CMU.  Your 
client is offering the key, but the server isn't accepting it.  Don't 
worry, it happens on many many machines at CMU.

The solution to a passwordless login is to use kinit to get a kerberos 
ticket and then use a kerberized version of SSH to login.
