I followed the instructions, and it works great. Now, I am trying to
setup another user on different client computer to log into the same
server. No matter what I try I keep getting prompted for a password.

I setup another user on the same client machine I used at first and
went throught the same process of ssh-keygen -t, scp'ing id_dsa.pub up
to the server and appending it to the appropriate authorized_keys
file in the .ssh directory. This doesn't work as I get prompted for a
password. I have tried this with 3 different user accounts and it
fails for all of them. Yet and ssh my_server_name from the original
account that I setup still works without a password.

All of the computers in question are running FC-6.

I'm guessing there may not be a ready answer, but I am open to a list
of the most common stupid things people do with ssh clients for this
type of thing.

Could be any number of issues. The permissions could be wrong on the user's .ssh directory or their authorized_keys file, for example. Can you check the ownership and permissions on those?
