SSH Login Issues – Can’t Login to Remote Machine with Key

I used to login to a remote machine( I have to root of this machine) using key. Both my local machine and remote machine is in f23. From last few days, I can't login to this machine using key. It is asking for password. Here is the ssh -vvv:

ssh -vvv aveta

rudra@phy-aveta.physics.uu.se's password: 

I have deleted .ssh, .config and .cache from the remote and redo ssh-copy-id, without any help.

To troubleshoot, I have createed another user, did ssh-copy-id and that one is working fine. ssh -vvv for that working machine is:

[rudra2@phy-aveta ~]$ debug2: client_check_window_change: changed
debug2: channel 0: request window-change confirm 0

I am clueless why in same local-remote combination, one is working and other is not.

EDIT .ssh/config for the failed one is:

Host aveta
  User rudra
  Hostname phy-aveta.physics.uu.se
  ForwardX11 yes

There is no ssh/.config entry for rudra2, i.e. that worked.

Ans to Paul
in my local machine I have:

tree .ssh/
.ssh/
├── authorized_keys
├── config
├── environment
├── id_rsa
├── id_rsa.pub
└── known_hosts

In both the remote user, I only have authorized_keys. And both are identical.

[root@phy-aveta rudra2]# diff .ssh/authorized_keys /home/rudra/.ssh/authorized_keys 
[root@phy-aveta rudra2]# 

Edit 2: Without using ssh/.configI have commented out the part for first user in .ssh/config.
http://ur1.ca/nzndx is the ssh -vvv for that. It is still asking for password

Edit: Permission
The first user…failed one
