Oh, dear, my bad. I've discovered I didn't have sshd running and I had to
create key files for it in /etc/ssh. Funny, I could swear it used to run
under 4.3-STABLE, but I guess the recent version of 4.4-STABLE has a better
OpenSSH.

Anyway, now I'm getting a message, "Couldn't load public key from
C:\usr\roger\.ssh\identity.pub", so it required my password and then
connected me. So this is now an issue on my Windoze machine, as that's the
location of my public key file. But PuTTY can't load it?
