Public Key Login Problems

Hi all,

Probably a really simple problem, but I can't figure it out. I'm
trying to allow NetBeans to connect to a CVS repository on a Windows
server using ssh. The only way that NetBeans can do this is if I use
public key authentication and bypass the password requirement for ssh.


I created public/private keys using the ssh-keygen -t rsa
command (with no password). I then appended the public key to the
server's authorized_keys file. From what I understand, this should
allow me to connect securely without having to type a password, but
alas, it doesn't. Every time I try to connect it asks for my password.

What gives and how do I fix it?
