On Microsoft, w/both the OpenSSH client for Windows (v 3.81) and PuTTY,
I'm unable to change the file permission on the id_rsa file--used in
public key authentication--to something that is acceptable to the
client, i. e. user-read only permissions. Instead, the SSH client keeps
complaining that the file permissions for id_rsa, "0644 are too open."
I'm surprised that you say you're having this problem with PuTTY,
because PuTTY _doesn't_ check the file permissions on the private
key file. Exactly what error message do you see when you try this
with PuTTY?
