passwordless SSH and SCP

[eanda10]

I am trying to scp files and run ssh between 2 of my servers w/o entering a password each time
here are the steps that I followed but I am still being asked for a password can anyone advise where I went wrong?
1)I ran this command "ssh-keygen -t dsa"
2) Then I copied the ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub to the remote server ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2


I am running RH 8.0 on both servers
Thanks

I solved my issue!!!

my problem was I was using copy and paste to transfer the .pub file this was appending a newline char. which was screwing up everything at the end I used cat through an ssh tunnel to transfer the file and now it works

command I used:
cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh username@targethost 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'
