    Hi, I'm using OpenSSH3.1p1 on a RH Linux box and Putty 0.53 on W2K.
    I'm able to connect to the Linux box as user root with public key
    authentifiaction.

    I'm not able to login via PCA as an other user (No supported
    authentication methods available). I don't have a /etc/nologin file.

    Putty logfile states:

    Event Log: Writing new session log (SSH packets mode) to file:
    putty.log
    Event Log: Looking up host "214.171.34.6"

    Event Log: Offered public key
    Event Log: Server refused public key
    Event Log: No supported authentications offered. Disconnecting

    Does anyone has an idea where the problem could be? I really don't
    have any more ideas what to do now :-((.
