Can't get SSH to work without password

Need some help on this!! I've been trying to get SSH to work without having to enter a password. I've found numerous articles on this and have tried the instructions, but am still getting prompted for a password. One thing to mention is that I'm using different IDs on the two servers.

Here's what I've done so far:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -f id_rsa (to gen the keys)

cat id_rsa.pub|ssh dsadm@dw005 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys' (to copy public key to target server)

ssh dw005 -n -l dsadm /export/home/dsadm/test_ssh (this will prompt for password)

Below is the debugging info when using "-v"

dev-edw:/home/instgd/.ssh# ssh dw005 -v -n -l dsadm /export/home/dsadm/test_ssh

gnome-ssh-askpass

GNOME-SSH-ASKPASS(1)					      General Commands Manual					      GNOME-SSH-ASKPASS(1)

NAME

       gnome-ssh-askpass - prompts a user for a passphrase using GNOME

SYNOPSIS

       gnome-ssh-askpass

DESCRIPTION

       gnome-ssh-askpass  is  a GNOME-based passphrase dialog for use with OpenSSH.  It is intended to be called by the ssh-add(1) program and not
       invoked directly.  It allows ssh-add(1) to obtain a passphrase from a user, even if not connected to a terminal (assuming that an X display
       is  available).	This happens automatically in the case where ssh-add is invoked from one's ~/.xsession or as one of the GNOME startup pro-
       grams, for example.

       In order to be called automatically by ssh-add, gnome-ssh-askpass should be installed as /usr/bin/ssh-askpass.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The following environment variables are recognized:

       GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_SERVER
	      Causes gnome-ssh-askpass to grab the X server before asking for a passphrase.

       GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_POINTER
	      Causes gnome-ssh-askpass to grab the mouse pointer using gdk_pointer_grab() before asking for a passphrase.

       Regardless of whether either of these environment variables is set, gnome-ssh-askpass will grab the keyboard using gdk_keyboard_grab().
