How do you get the keys to the server the first time after they're generated? Its kind of the chicken and an egg problem without the password authentication -- that's why I still have passwords turned on (but require __very__ strong passwords.)
I start off with password authentication enabled, then scp my authorized_keys file to the server, check my keys work, and then disable passwords in sshd.
