title: Server Authentication via SSH Key fails
body: <p>I tried to set up private/public key authentication on my server (CentOS). Here are the steps I made:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Generated a public/private keypair with puttygen</li>
  <li>Copied the public key to the server and appended it with the cat command to the file /root/.ssh/authorized_keys</li>
  <li>Checked suggested file ownership and permissions for .ssh (700) and .ssh/authorized_keys (600)</li>
  <li>Restarted the sshd service</li>
  <li>In the Putty config under Connection > SSH > Auth, selected the privat key</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>But when I try to connect with Putty, I get the message "Server refused our key". I am prompted for password then, and that works.</p>
  
  <p>I also raised the authentication log level, here is the output for a failed attempt:</p>
