Make sure that the server's /etc/ssh2/sshd2_config,
the AllowedAuthentications setting contains "publickey", e.g.:
AllowedAuthentications publickey,password
Also, run sshd as "sshd -v". This causes it to not fork, but to dump a
lot of debugging output to the screen, such as its search for public key
files. If you can't take down your existing sshd for testing, then
use an alternate port number by doing something like "sshd -v -p 666" on
the server and "ssh server -p 666"
