Ok, so it has been a while since I have set up key pairs for automated
connections and I am trying to do it again and it just is not working
for me and I am not sure why. 

I generated my RSA keys on the windows client. 

I made sure RSAAuth, PubkeyAuth, and Auth... Key... Files... lines were
uncommented out of my sshd_config and restarted the service on the
server. 

I copied the id_rsa.pub file from the client to the server and cat'ed it
to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. 

Changed the permissions on authorized_keys to -rw-r--r-- and attempted
to make a connection. 

 

ssh -v boneal@fedora.cornerstonehome.com

 

The client gives the errors

Any thoughts?
