Thank you everyone for the suggestions. deleting .ssh dir doesnt help.
I can ping machine II from maching I but the vice versa doesnt happen. It shows PING 172.16.48.131 (172.16.48.131) 56(84) bytes of data. >From 172.16.46.25: icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable >From 172.16.46.25 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable >From 172.16.46.25 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable Also: ps -ae | grep ssh 3482 ? 00:00:00 ssh-agent 4832 ? 00:00:00 sshd 4984 pts/2 00:00:00 ssh The problem still persists i.e; machine I cant be logged on from machine II.
