ssh setup - auto authenticate

[Bob Hartung]

Hi all,
   I am trying to set up ssh on an internal network for training purposes.

The setup:
   Client:  FC3 running openssh-3.p1-8.0.1
            username[not real] someone


   Server:  FC4 running openssh-4.1p1-3.1
            username[not real] someone

   On the client I:
    1.  ran 'ssh-keygen -t dsa'
    2.  copied ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub to the server
    3.  appended id_dsa.pub contents on to server's
           /home/someone/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file with 'cat id_dsa.pub 
 >> /home/someone/.ssh/authorized_keys2'

   Now when I 'ssh [server]' from the client machine I still am prompted 
for the password after about 20 second delay. Login then procedes normally.

The results of ssh -v [servername]

I am sure that I screwed this up somehow, but I have been unable to find 
out were.  I have tried to read the docs, but they leave me a little 
cold.  Frequently I am not sure whether they are referring to the server 
or the client machine.

Perhaps someone could direct me to a real succinct step-by-step setup 
that would also include information on how to clean up any mess that I 
have created with my trial-and-error to date.

TIA
