Verify that the user itself is the owner of these files, not root or

Are there any line breaks in the copied key? 'cat -e
~/.ssh/authorized_keys' might reveal these kind of oopses.
used the cat -e command, no line breaks
Did you place the exact contents of id_{rsa,dsa}.pub and not id_{rsa,dsa}?
I did
$cd ~/.ssh
$cp id_rsa.pub authorized_keys
so yes it would be the exact contents

and made sure of the file permissions
~/.ssh is 0700
~/.ssh/authorized_keys is 0600
