SSH keygen and login problem

[upen]

What does /var/log/secure say ?

 I have had this issue happening due to bad modes on Home directory in
RHEL6.  chmod g-w $HOME fixed it.

Other than that current permissions on .ssh are 755
600 on authorized_keys and id_rsa
644 on id_rsa.pub

Password-less authentication works using ssh-keypair

Thanks,
A
