how about on the client computer? for instance, id_rsa is supposed to
be 600. the ownership should be set for the account on .ssh and
authorized_keys.

we had only one problem getting a mac to log in which was strange. the
client generated the id_rsa.pub and id_rsa keys. it wouldn't work - and
apparently all the permissions were set correctly at both ends.

so we did the whole thing from scratch again - and this time it worked.

conclusion: the system is picky about the rsa key. :D :D
