Check your file permissions. All the files leading up to your
authorized_keys file need to be "go-w".

You might want to google for "sshd config" without the quotes.  In
particular "PasswordAuthentication yes" and "UsePAM yes" are a bad
idea.  I'm surprised that sshd still allows that given the level of
sshd password guessing going on.

         You may need to config 6to4 to see the above pages.
