using ssh without password

[Arno Lehmann]

You should check the system-wide ssh and sshd configurations.
If you are not the administrator of the server you want to log into, ask 
them how to setup ssh to work without passphrase.
Verify that the file names for authorized keys are correct.
You should run ssh with the -v switch, then it tells you what it does, 
including which keys it uses and what the server thinks about those.
You should have a look at the server's logfile.
You can also run the server with debug output.
