So, why doesn't the first one work? I think I've set everything up but I may have missed something obvious. Any ideas anyone?

Check the permissions on the files under ~/.ssh (and on ~/.ssh itself).

They're OK, I've just tightened them up a little but they were originally the same as a system where the passwordless login works.

      Check that the target's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys actually does

have at least one of the source's public keys in it.

Yes, it does.

                                                   Check that

PubkeyAuthentication is enabled in the target's sshd_config.

Now that is a possibility to look into, I'm not totally convinced I can 'see' the system ssh configuration files though, I'll take a look.

                                                           Check

that you're actually connecting to the host you think you are.

When I get there (after entering the password) it seems to be what I'm expecting! :-)
