Thats right. But sometimes ssh connection realy fails. One of reason I
found was $HOME and $HOME/.ssh permisions (seems, that at least one of
them should not be world readable). 

Some times there are problems when connecting between commercial ssh and
openssh. 

Another problem was restricted users-hosts pairs in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
(my mistake). 

And the last - disabled publickey authentification (also my mistake).

You can try ssh -v user@remote_host and look for very very verbose debug
information.
