After installing ssh and generating the host key did you also generate an
account key? The public host key from the client system should go into the
known_hosts file on the server system and the public account key from the
client should be placed in the authorized_keys file on the host. If you
have already done this then I apologize but mucking up these steps are
probably the most commonly made mistake when configuring ssh.
