You don't need authorized_keys2 to log in; you only need it if you want to log in without a password. That is the preferred (more secure) option. First, though, see if you can log in without it by giving a password. putty should have a verbose mode for debugging. If not, try logging in from another user on the same machine with the -v option. Check to see that your sshd_config allows root to log in. Or try login in as a non-root user first. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
