How can i setup ssh password-less login for particular user?

HI Community.

I was trying to create ssh password less authentication for one user called night and it's not working for me.

These are the steps I followed:-

I have logged into the server and issued ssh-ketgen -t rsa
Code:
bash-3.2$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/log/.ssh/id_rsa):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /log/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /log/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
fa:b8:21:8e:67:c1:d1:9b:ed:88:9d:c9:fd:2a:ef:f1 night@test

bash-3.2$ ls
id_rsa       id_rsa.pub   known_hosts

After that I have copied this key to client machine:-
Code:
cat id_rsa.pub | ssh night@192.168.1.2 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys && echo "Copied"'

and changed permission of authorized_keys to 600 and .ssh folder to 700.

I restarted ssh daemon on client, but it again asking for password when I am trying to connect as night user.

Please help me to fix this issue.

Regards,
Ben
