More to the point. This was really hard to set up. Create the keypair, load it on the server, make sure yout have the correct permissions, setup putty and SVN to use it, yada yada yada.

Isn't there some better SSH key management scheme out there (with fewer steps but correct and secure defaults?)

FLOSS, of course.

It supports 1 and 2 and DSA. I'm using 1 if that matters.

The problem was that TortoiseSVN actually uses its own ssh client (called TortoisePLink.) This is compiled and liked to the Putty client library I think. So internally, it is Putty. But the Tortoise Settings->Network->SSH Client has a command line. The command line was '-l <username>'. I had this wrong, the user name should be my user on the Linux box. Works fine w/o world writable permissions now.

i believe putty only supports ssh version 1.  That might be part of your
problem.  You should instll cygwin's ssh client and try that.
