This basics should be in place...
On source : Generate ssh key, which u have done...
/home/user/.ssh ---> ssh-keygent -t rsa no need
enter passphrase....
On target : /home/userdir : chmod 755 for this, <userdir> owner
shld be targetuser as well
/home/userdir/.ssh : chmod 700 for this
su - targetuser...
cd .ssh
cat > authorized_keys
paste source id_rsa.pub content....
chmod 600 authorized_keys
Make sure target user is not locked or expired a/c.
if possible do manual ssh and see.
During first non-password ssh, it will prompt for updating known_hosts of
source. say "Yes".
make sure...nslookup forward/reverse for source/target server works as
expected....
Last resort...may be to reset Permittunnel parameter in sshd_config on
target server.....
gud luck
