This is my ~/.ssh/config file;
Host 107.xxx.xxx.xxx
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
User oxxxx1

When my /etc/ssh/ssh_config file has;
PasswordAuthentication no
the Rsync fails .. Permission denied 
(publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password)..

When my /etc/ssh/ssh_config file has;
#PasswordAuthentication no
the rsync (running wee_reports) requests a password and then the transfer 
proceeds correctly
