1. Only the user on the source (local) system need to generate a key-pair. When generating this key-pair, a blank passphrase should be entered.
2. The key has to be added to the file that is specified in your sshd_config file (this would be usually the authorized_keys or authorized_keys2 file in the $HOME/.ssh directory)
3. Your $HOME/.ssh/<private_key> file should match the one specified in the ssh_config file as IdentityFile.
4. The .ssh directory on both servers should have 700 permissions and should be owned by the owner of the home directory.

Dear Blow/Porter,

I think the problem was with the file permissions of may be $HOME/.ssh or the keys, I changed the file permission of $HOME/.ssh to 700 & it worked. Now its not asking for the password for the ssh user@destination.server.com command.

Thanks a lot to both of you.
Porter specially you, who kept me replying from the start. Smilie

Regards,
Vishal
