ssh no password problem

[Sambit Bikas Pal]

Your DSA public key based authentication is working fine. You are
being prompted for the passphrase to tyour DSA Key, not your login
password. This is because you had given a passphrase during generation
of the DSA keypair. If you want a complete passwordless login, give an
empty passphrase during DSA key generation.
You can use ssh-keygen -p to reset the passphrase to a blank passphrase.
Hope this helps.
