i have set up sshd to only accept keys. when i login to the school unix server via telnet and from the server to my comp via ssh it works. when i try to log in via putty from windows it doesnt work. i put in authorized keys the ssh key and the special putty key. when i use putty and i use the putty key he says its not a privat key. when i use the ssh key he says
Unable to use key file "Y:\id_rsa" (OpenSSH SSH2 private key)
No supported authentication methods left to try!
whats wrong? |

It doesn't work like that.
The SSH host key is for identifying a host to a client or vice versa - you don't want to mess with that.
What needs to go into authorized_keys is the exact private key string you get from puttygen.
Nothing else will work.
Read the Putty and Puttygen manuals - they're quite clear on how to do this.
