I would generate a key "ssh-keygen -t rsa" on a linux machine, cp to the server, cat id_rsa.pub>>.ssh/authorized_keys2 and see if that gets the job done. The windows machine adds additional complexity that is hard to debug, get the linux part working first. Make sure the permissions are correct in ~/.ssh/ , that is very important. .ssh/authorized_keys2 must be 0600. drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jan 11 2004 . drwxr-x--- 27 root root 4096 Jan 6 12:10 .. -rw------- 1 root root 580 Jan 3 2005 authorized_keys -rw------- 1 root root 2982 Apr 25 2005 authorized_keys2 -rw------- 1 root root 672 Jan 11 2004 id_dsa -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 613 Jan 11 2004 id_dsa.pub -rw------- 1 root root 538 Jan 11 2004 identity -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 342 Jan 11 2004 identity.pub -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6998 Dec 29 11:44 known_hosts -- Chris Mason NetConcepts (264) 497-5670 Fax: (264) 497-8463 Int: (305) 704-7249 Fax: (815)301-9759 Cell: 264-235-5670 Yahoo IM: netconcepts_anguilla@xxxxxxxxx
