Followup on permissions and settings.
Thanks Corona688. I have verified that the permissions are set the same on the remote machine meaning I have machine a (local) and machine b remote. I have user 1 on a and b and user 2 on machine b. I am able to ssh from a to b as user 1 without a password prompt. When I try to ssh from a to b as user 1 to user 2 I am prompted. I have entered the pub key of user 1 from a to the authorized_keys file of user 2 on b. The permissions on the directories and files are the same for each user 1 and 2 on b.
I did try an ssh with the -v option and the first thing it checks is the /etc/ssh/ssh_config file on machine a. The entries for RSAAuth and PubkeyAuth are not in that file, but are in the file on machine b. In other words do the permissions have to be reciprocal?
Anyway I appreciate your help! BTW Corona688 I am originally from Regina!! Small world, eh.

ssh-keysign
SSH-KEYSIGN(8) BSD System Manager's Manual SSH-KEYSIGN(8)
NAME
ssh-keysign -- ssh helper program for host-based authentication
SYNOPSIS
ssh-keysign
DESCRIPTION
ssh-keysign is used by ssh(1) to access the local host keys and generate the digital signature required during host-based authentication.
ssh-keysign is disabled by default and can only be enabled in the global client configuration file /etc/ssh/ssh_config by setting
EnableSSHKeysign to ``yes''.
ssh-keysign is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from ssh(1). See ssh(1) and sshd(8) for more information about host-based authen-
tication.
FILES
/etc/ssh/ssh_config
Controls whether ssh-keysign is enabled.
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
These files contain the private parts of the host keys used to generate the digital signature. They should be owned by root, read-
able only by root, and not accessible to others. Since they are readable only by root, ssh-keysign must be set-uid root if host-
based authentication is used.
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key-cert.pub
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key-cert.pub
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key-cert.pub
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key-cert.pub
If these files exist they are assumed to contain public certificate information corresponding with the private keys above.
SEE ALSO
ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1), ssh_config(5), sshd(8)
HISTORY
ssh-keysign first appeared in OpenBSD 3.2.
