Okay, the scenario and what was done:

    The same user on two different machines:
    Machine_A has OpenSSH_3.0.2p1  (IRIX 6.5.13m)
    Machine_B has OpenSSH_2.9p2    (Red Hat 7.2)

    The following commands were executed on both systems:

    - step 1:  ssh-keygen -b 1024 -t dsa
      default file was left at $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa
      no passphrase

    - step 2:  the generated id_dsa.pub files were exchanged and
               cat-ed into $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys

    Problem: Only Machine_B can scp into the other without being prompted for a 
password.  Machine_A can not scp into Machine_A without being prompted for a password. 
 What gives?
