[-- Attachment #1 --] it was 611, changed it to 600, no result. Some specific questions: 1. what should the name of the keys file be if I'm using OpenSSH 2.3.0? 2. do I need anything else in the "config" file in my .ssh dir, on top of "RSAAuthentication yes" and "PasswordAuthentication yes"? 3. I am specifying a user under putty's Connection-->Auto-login username option, is this the right thing to do? 4. Does it matter that the client is behind a firewall? I've been battling with this for about a month now, any help will be greatly appreciated.
