A few months ago, I had a cron job scp a file to another box within my 
lan.  It worked great and things were good.
I dont remember why I turned it off, but Im trying to set it back up.
Both boxes are running FBSD 4.6.2-Release.
On the sending box ->
1.  ssh-keygen -t rsa  //Accept the defaults and leave the passphrase empty.
2.  scp id_rsa.pub sys_dev@hivemind:  //SCP the public key over to the 
recieving box to the user who is going to recieve the file from the cron 
job.

On the recieving box ->
1.  cp id_rsa.pub .ssh/authorized_keys  // Copy the sender's public key 
to .ssh/authorized_keys

 From the sending box, I run my script using the -v option to scp to be 
verbose.
Here is the output of the script ->
----------------------------
Executing: program /usr/bin/ssh host hivemind, user sys_dev, command scp 
-v -t .

Could someone point out to me where Im going wrong with this to have the 
cron job complete successfully without entering a password.
Thanks.
