hmmm.... From my man page:
ssh-keygen [-dq] [-b bits] [-N new passphrase] [-C comment] [-f output_keyfile]
ssh-keygen defaults to generating an RSA key for use by protocols 1.3 and
1.5; specifying the -d flag will create a DSA key instead for use by pro-
tocol 2.0.
Maybe it's because I'm running 4.2-stable...
anyway, I would try the obvious and move your indentity.pub key on your windows
box to c:\
but I use ssh2 which, on putty, doesn't use public key authentication. So I'm
just guessing at that one.
