Failure to authenticate

SSH server runs OpenSSH 3.5 on Solaris 8
SSH nclient runs OpenSSH 4.2 on HP-UX 11.23

Even after I put the public key of the client in $HOME/.ssh/
authorized_keys in the server and made sure the permissions where 700
or less, I still get asked for the password. DNS doesn't seem to be an
issue. Why is this happening?
