I have google searched and everyone who has this problem has an error in locking /home/user/.Xauthority. The issue is that it is trying to lock /.Xauthority. Obviously there is no .Xauthority in /, and even if there was it would not be accessible to a user. This problem is only occuring with one user, all other users work fine. What should I check? Here's what happens:
[root@box dir]# ssh USER@HOST

Check that your user actually has a valid home directory, which exists and is accessible by that user.

Again, check that it is accessible by that user. Permissions and SELinux contexts must be correct for it and all of its parent directories.

I can't even do a normal ssh into there without X11 forwarding. It connects and just closes.

My contexts and perms on my home dir are the same as other users who can login (different name of course)
