ssh token issue


okay so i have rsync and unison running on my network. i use a ssh-key passthrough thing to allow my pc to transfer files to my server. for some reason now that has stopped. i am running fc 29 kde on my pc and fc 29 server on my server. here is the code i run...

Code:
[user@server my_logs]$ ssh-copy-id -i /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@server.ip
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: Source of key(s) to be installed: "/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: attempting to log in with the new key(s), to filter out any that are already installed
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: 1 key(s) remain to be installed -- if you are prompted now it is to install the new keys
user@server.ip's password: 

Number of key(s) added: 1

Now try logging into the machine, with:   "ssh 'user@server.ip'"
and check to make sure that only the key(s) you wanted were added.

[user@server my_logs]$ ssh server.ip
user@server.ip's password:
i have been doing this for years now and for some reason now it is saying it passes the ssh token to my server and i can see it in the known hosts file but when i try and 'ssh user@server' it asks for my password so unison and rsync cannot sync.

anyone know what the deal is?

Have you examined the sshd log entries on the server side?

If not, please do.

thanks wpeckham but yeah, that is how i figured it out. when i checked my server ip it said the permissions were out of whack. the odd thing is it worked prior on the same set-up and all. just stopped working at some point and i am certain i changed nothing...

I assume it was working previously. Have you changed anything on either the client or server?

Have you tried using debug i.e -vvv option to see if there is anything obviously going wrong?

Never mind...
