I keep getting the message, "Unable to open connection: > connection refused." This is at the Windows machine running an SSH client? "connection refused" almost always means that the TCP connection is being rejected. The TCP connection must be established before SSH even starts. This does not sound like an SSH authentication issue. > I haven't been able to find any output from sshd. Not surprising. It probably is never seeing a connection attempt.

How do you know? A tcpdump(8) of the initial connection attempt may help us here. > When I FTP'd the identity.pub file to my windows box I used the binary > setting. Should I have used the ascii setting? Again, it doesn't sound like you ever get to the SSH part of the connection. -- Crist J.
