I'm trying to set up a public key to connect to SSH using public key authentication to improve my Git workflow....

The remote server is Ubuntu 10.0.4.
I generate the keys with the command:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "root@mydomain.com"

press return three times, then am pasting the contents of id_rsa.pub into a newly created authorized_keys file in ~/.ssh/ on my local machine running OSX...

This isn't working.

Anyone familiar with the configuration on OSX / Ubuntu can tell me what's wrong or point me in the right direction

Thanks in advance

Paul
