ssh problem

[George Bonser <grep@shorelink.com>]

I have two systems that are fresh installs of Debian. I have installed ssh
on both. I can use ssh to get from one to the other without a password. I
can not go the other way. Both the /etc/ssh and the ~/.ssh directories and
the home directories on both systems are identical in content and
permissions.

If I try to go from sys1 to sys2, all is OK.
If I got from sys2 to sys1, it asks for my sys2 passphrase every time.
Why?
The passphrase is much longer than my password.
