The answer is in the debug output you provided. Notice that authorized_keys has
group write access. Do a chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. This should solve
your problem.
BTW, I would recommend going to a version 2 protocol private/public
authentication. For that, you would want to use ssh-keygen -t rsa|dsa to
generate one of them. The publec side then goes in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2.
Hope this helps.
