Doug,
I understood most of what you said before this note. Reading again
is good for reinforcement. But this is all backwards from how I need
to do it. I don't have access to the client machines. I am
generating my keys on the server machine(my Linux box running sshd).
I am copying the appropriate files out to the Windows machine on a
floppy disk. You do have one thing in this message I have not tried.
I did not pass a -2 parameter to Putty when I started it. I am
guessing that forces a type 2 key. I thought Putty would recognize
from my key file that it was a type 2 key. Maybe that is the problem.
I'll test that on Friday.
Thanks,
Ralph
