Try editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config, and set PasswordAuthentication to yes.

It looks like the server is set to only accept publickey or gssapi.
If you allow PasswordAuthentication, that should get you what you
want.

The other alternatives are to create the .ssh and add an
authorized_keys file, or do 'yum reinstall openssh-server'.
