Hmm.. SNAFU here in my area. Didn't realise when I placed server2 into 
server1's hosts.deny list. After I removed it, I can get to Server1 
but I'm still being asked a password. 

(Note: Server2 has server1's pub key but 
	 server1 do not have server2's public key. 
	 (I did not generate one)
	 Instead I was trying out ForwardAgent yes and
 	 eval `ssh-agent`
