The account you are using probably cannot write to it's $HOME directory. SSH2 needs
to do this to store the server's public keys.
Now if you cannot have a writable directory for a particular reason you can have root
( or yourself ) create a .ssh2 directory for the user in question, but be aware that
if you are using or have X-forwarding compiled into the server then xauth will try to
write
to the file $HOME/.Xsession and will timeout with and error after 10 seconds or so.
NOTE: you will still be able to connect but it makes logging in a lot longer. To get
around this you can turn X-forwarding off.
