cannot ssh to other host even with the public key copied to another host's authorized_keys file
I got the following error when I tried to ssh to another host. I enabled the password authentication in sshd_config file. My final goal is to enable keyless authentication because I have a scheduled rsync command to run in my crontab .
I used ssh-keygen command to create the default rsa private and public key for root user.
Please help me go through this step by step.
[root@magentoprod-apache1 .ssh]# ssh root@magentoprod-apache2
root@magentoprod-apache2's

for the first option, mine is commented out, but I checked an existing server, it was commented out too. I guess that is because we have a ldap server, we use that ldap server to authenticate all the users.
#RSAAuthentication yes
#PubkeyAuthentication yes
# The default is to check both .ssh/authorized_keys and .ssh/authorized_keys2
# but this is overridden so installations will only check .ssh/authorized_keys
AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys
#AuthorizedPrincipalsFile none
AuthorizedKeysCommand /usr/libexec/openssh/ssh-l
AuthorizedKeysCommandUser ec2-user
#RSAAuthentication yes

I was able to run rsync now by enable without-password option for root user on sshdc_config file.
However, when I run the rsync command like below "rsync -avr /var/www/html/media root@magentoprod-apache2:/
any thoughts about it?
