[webmin-l] problem with ssh key

[<and...@fr...>]

Hi all,
I am trying to create a public-private key for authentication via ssh,
usable by putty os pscp

I read a lot of docs, anyway I was not able to succed in doing this.

I think the problem is that I am trying to create an SSH-2 key, using
puttygen. I copied my public key in
the /root/.ssh2 directory, I created the "authorization" file containing
the key entry pointing to my .pub file in the same directory

Nope, the server always answer:

"Server refused our key"

I tried to configure a new user, before having configured webmin to
automatically create rsa key pair:
My Idea was "to spy" what webmin did

I discoverd webmin creates a .ssh dir (not .ssh2) with the key pair and
without any authorization file

I configured ssh server to use ONLY ssh-2 protocol

what can I try to do ?

thanks in advance,

Andrea
