I am trying to set access through SSH between nodes in a data center with keys.

All nodes share a file space so I am setting all in the ~/.ssh/ folder.

I already did:

  1. Generated a SSH key (and stored it in the ~/.ssh/id_rsa file). I set a passphrase for this
  2. Started the SSH agent, and added the private key to the agent
  3. Confirmed that the key is loaded into the agent
  4. Append the public key to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file
  5. Set permission 700 for the ~/.ssh folder and 600 for the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file

So now I am trying to confirm the setup and I do:

$ssh -v me@node11

And it asks me to enter my password (which is what I am trying to prevent).

Running it verbose it says:

$ssh -v me@node11
...
debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
debug1: Offering RSA public key: /mnt/pacific/thecompany/me/.ssh/id_rsa
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password
debug1: Trying private key: /mnt/pacific/thecompany/me/.ssh/id_dsa
debug1: Trying private key: /mnt/pacific/thecompany/me/.ssh/id_ecdsa
debug1: Trying private key: /mnt/pacific/thecompany/me/.ssh/id_ed25519
debug1: Next authentication method: password
me@compute11's password:

What is it that I am overlooking to allow non interactive SSH access through nodes?

EDIT: This question has been closed on the basis that it already has an answer. It does not. The linked question has similarities but their log says clearly debug1: send_pubkey_test: no mutual signature algorithm which is key for the accepted answer. This does not happen in this question.

Any help for this question is appreciated
