Further, you must ensure that, on the remote machine into which you're 
attempting to login,

a) $HOME is not group-writeable or world-writeable

b) $HOME/.ssh has 0700 permissions

c) $HOME/.ssh/* have 0600 permissions

(Actually, there are some $HOME/ssh/* files that can have looser 
permissions than 600, but they all work with 0600, so that's the way I 
keep them.)
