	Well, if it helps any, my authorized_keys file is chmoded u+rw g+r o+r.
The man page for ssh says as follows:

$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
....
            separated by spaces).  This file is not highly sen-
              sitive,  but  the   recommended   permissions   are
              read/write for the user, and not accessible by oth-
              ers.

	...which I guess means I ought to do some chmoding of my own. :) My
only other guess would be that one of your machines is talking ssh1 and the
other is talking ssh2. Try using "ssh1 dudley". If things hose, then try "ssh2
dudley".  I'm thinking that perhaps' dudley's sshd is an sshd1, whereas the
"ssh" client on dogbert is actually soft linked to "ssh2". I have actually had
this problem before. sshd2 daemons refuse to talk to ssh1 clients, and vice
versa. :(
