You must be using the same version of ssh on both machines.  Run
ssh-keygen from each account you wish to use to login to a remote
machine.  Do not use a passphrase when generating the keys.

Then upload your identity.pub file renamed to authorized_keys 
into the .ssh dir on the remote machine.  Make sure the
permissions on it are 600.
