I never thought that permissions on my home folder would matter (as long as the owner and permissions of the .ssh folder was okay). God bless you hacker!

If your ssh server is running with ‘StrictModes on’, it will refuse to use your public keys in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file. Your home directory should be writable only by you

This was it! This drove me crazy for months. Out of dozens of servers only one insisted on a password login. I never thought that permissions on my home folder would matter (as long as the owner and permissions of the .ssh folder was okay).
