I don't remember from the other thread - did you generate the keys
using Putty's keygen program, or did you try and use the keys
generated by ssh-keygen in Linux with Putty? If I remember
correctly, what I had to do was generate the keys in Putty, and do
something strange like display the public key and then cut and past
it to a file that I copied to the Linux machine. (I may also have
had to convert to Unix format...) I don't think I managed to get
Putty to use the keys from my Linux machine, but I set it up a long
time ago, so I don't remember everything...
