Hi, I've done this many times in the past but I can't figure out why
it is not working.

I uploaded my authorized_keys and set all the correct permissions. I
double checked this many times.

When I SSH from my WinXP box to my Linux box I get:

C:\ssh>ssh -v -l dev myhost.com
SSH Version 1.2.14 [winnt-4.0-x86], protocol version 1.4.
Standard version. Does not use RSAREF.
ssh_connect: getuid 0 geteuid 0 anon 0
Connecting to myhost.com port 22.
Connection established.
Remote protocol version 1.99, remote software version OpenSSH_2.9p2
Waiting for server public key.
Received server public key (768 bits) and host key (1024 bits).
Host 'myhost.com' is known and matches the host key.
Initializing random; seed file c:\/.ssh/random_seed
IDEA not supported, using 3des instead.
Encryption type: 3des
Sent encrypted session key.
Received encrypted confirmation.
Trying RSA authentication with key 'Me'
Server refused our key.
Doing password authentication.

Any pointers as to why the server would refuse my key? It's finding it
I can tell, but I just can't figure out why it won't accept it. The
permissions are correct.

Thanks!
