FW: Connecting to host

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.

Yes, I generated my own key. I figured that I'd need to enter my
passphrase the first time to authenticate it but I've not gotten past
that point.

You generated your own key, right?

If you put a passphrase on it, you'll need to enter that passphrase to 
authenticate.
