Because you are switching your user to "pearson," you must verify that the
.ssh directory exists within pearson's $HOME directory, followed by
verifying that your id_rsa & id_dsa files are in there.  I would also check
the $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys file as well.

Also, what is the output from using the -v option as suggested by Enrique?

  try running the ssh command with the -v option to
see more messages about key exchanges and
server-client interaction.
