You should check the perms on the dirs, ssh will not allow it use the keys if they are too permissive. So I would check starting at /home

This is the most likely cause; I'd check there too.

If not,

1. Ensure the file hash is the same (e.g., no extraneous whitespace in the middle of the key)
2. sshd is usually pretty good about writing errors to syslog.

Found it... In /var/log/secure I got "Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for directory /home/zema/.ssh" I had checked the file, not the directory... Thanks all... John
