What are other reasons that can causes that!

Wait a minute, rom the command listing in your original post it seems
that you might have generated and added the public key on the same
machine, is that correct?

Yes, but he's testing it on the local machine as well....

You need to generate id_dsa.pub on the local machine, then copy it to
the remote host and add it _there_ to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2

If you follow the instructions on
https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/openssh-server.html to the
letter, it should be fine.

What has gotten me in the past is the permissions on the .ssh folder istself.
They should be 744 I believe.

There is a command to add keys to a remote server as well that's
rarely mentioned.
I don't have my Ubuntu box in front of me, but I'm pretty sure it's
ssh-copy-id or at least ssh-copy-something
where `ssh-copy-id -i path/to/public/key remoteuser@remotehost` will
copy the key to the right place with the right permissions.

Also, when testing ssh, if you use a couple of -v then troubleshooting
is much easier.
ssh -v
