Because you are generating the newer 'id_rsa/id_rsa.pub' key-pair
instead of the older 'identity/identity.pub' key-pair, you need
to copy your 'id_rsa.pub' file to the newer '.ssh/authorized_keys2'
file, instead of the older '.ssh/authorized_keys'.

Also, check to make sure that on both the client and server computers
your '.ssh' directory is readable only by you (mode: 700), and that the
'authorized_keys2' file on the server computer is write-able only by
you (mode: 644).
