Also, try setting your home directory permissions to 700.

Also, instead of copying your ssh key around and possible making paste mistakes, just use the following command to install your key on a remote host:

Code:
ssh-copy-id

Hi,

After all your suggestions, I tried to make new setup as I have deleted old keys and .ssh directory.

Now to avoid manual pasting of keys, I can use cat keys >> authorizedkeys as suggested. But I need to paste the keys of source server into target server authorized keys file. and vice versa. To copy like that what command I can use?? while I am using the above command the keys of source server pasting into same server authorized keys.

please suggest.

Even I setup newly, not working properly asking for password again. I checked on permissions too. gave 700 for ssh directory and authorized keys. for both source and target servers. even in one way its not working. please suggest me what I am missing.
