What are the permissions on the ~/.ssh and ~ directories? IIRC they
cannot be greater than 0755. Also trying to connect with a -vv might give
more clues. There may be other ways to do this but I usually just generate
the id_dsa* and add them to the remote machine's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file.
IIRC that file must be 0644 or less. I have never used or generated the id_rsa
key.
