Check auth.log on the box you're having problems logging into. Often
there are clues there. See if sshd logs something it's unhappy about
when you try to log in.
Nine times out of ten when passwordless login doesn't work for me,
it's a permissions issue. Sshd is very picky about permissions on
files in the .ssh directory. In particular, .ssh/authorized_keys
should be read/write *only* by the owner. sshd will refuse to use
the file if it's writable by group, even if you're using individual
groups for each user. I think it may refuse if it's readable by
anyone but the owner, too, so I usually "chmod 600" that file. And
of course .ssh and everything in it needs to be owned by the user
that's trying to log in.
