    Verify that your public key should be in 'authorized_keys2' or in
    'authorized_keys'. This information will be in the SSH sever's
    'sshd_config' file.

    Check the target system's pemission on the home directory. There
    should be no write permissions on group or other. Having write
    permissions on group or other will also break SSH public key
    authentication.
