The most common problem is incorrect filesystem permissions on the
remote system. To make sure I always get them right I have ssh make
the .ssh directory for me. On the remote machine I invoke "ssh
localhost", and then kill it without logging in. It creates a .ssh
directory with the right permissions, and puts a known_hosts file in
there. The permissions to that .ssh directory is always right, and the
known_hosts file has the same permissions that you need for the
authorized_keys file.
