OK, I did this. I generated

~/.ssh/id_dsa_sat  and
~/.ssh/id_dsa_sat.pub

I copied the contents of ~/.ssh/id_dsa_sat.pub into a file named

authorized_keys

and put it in the .ssh directory of my home folder on the remote server. 
I can do rsync, but I am still prompted for a password each time. I 
don't get any other error messages about permissions.

I do notice that the user and group permissions on the server where it 
is functioning correctly are user=acmuller (my username) and group=users.

On this new machine it is user=503 and group=503.

Perhaps that has something to do with my failure?
