ssh doesn't stop prompting for password

[Andre Berger <uzscd5@uni-bonn.de>]

I use the precompiled PC potato/security version of ssh, SSH Version
OpenSSH-1.2.3, protocol version 1.5, Compiled with SSL. I did
'ssh-keygen' without password, then 'cp ~/.ssh/identity.pub
~/.ssh/authorized_keys', then tried to log in via 'ssh andre@mir' as
user "andre". But ssh still prompts for "andre@localhost's password:".
What's the problem here?
