Subject: ssh key generation

Hi All, I need some with setting up my ssh keys.

On one machine (let's call it client), I've generated my ssh keys
thus:
ssh-keygen -t rsa
Then I copied over the public part to the other machine (let's call it
the host).
I copied it over to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.

When I try to ssh from client to host, I'm still being promted for a
password.
I've googled around and it looks like I've followed the proper steps.
Not sure what I'm missing here.

When i do an ssh -v, I see the following:
Sun_SSH_1.1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090704f
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: Rhosts Authentication disabled, originating port will not be

Can someone please tell me what I'm missing here?
Thanks,
