Just Curious. Were you able to authenticate ? I recently found a problem with putty keys. Putty generated four lines of keys and they were separated by newline character. Also the starting of the key describing the key type was different from the ones normally used. I manually corrected these on the server and then it worked. I don't remember what error message I got though, mostly not the one you are getting. -Sharath.

I figured that I'd need to enter my passphrase the first time to authenticate it but I've not gotten past that point. -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Morris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2007 2:31 PM To: Kelly Thomas Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: Connecting to host On Thu, 05 Jul 2007, Kelly Thomas wrote: > No, they gave me an account ID to use but there was supposed to be no > passwords exchanged -- we were just using the keys to authenticate. You generated your own key, right? If you put a passphrase on it, you'll need to enter that passphrase to authenticate.
