I did that - created a public/private key pair using PUTTY/PUTTYGEN (all my
remote accessing folks will be using Windows). I copied the public key part
to /.ssh/authorized_keys. Connected using PUTTY.
It didn't ask me for *my* private key passphrase; all it asked me for was
the ID I wanted to log in with. Not quite what I want.
