Question

EDIT: Putting exactly what was done

I need to SSH localhost without password, the usual way of doing it (with public keys) do not work.

user@PC:~$ rm         


        

Answer 1

Another possible answer: the authorized_keys file may exist and be readable. But if it is group- or world-writable, it will still prompt for the password. The answer to THAT problem is

chmod og-wx ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
