That looks like an SSH2 key, not an OpenSSH key.
I downloaded puttygen to see exactly what you see.
And after you load a key (generate one) right at the top it says:
Public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys file:
_key here_
For example, here is what it says for the key I just generated:
ssh-dss

THIS is what your OpenSSH public key should look like.
I agree 100%. And I did that - to start with, and did it again many
times to verify it, etc. Problem is it constantly fails.
I think the problem is really one of permissions, not the appropriate
key. Seem ssh to local host even prompts me.
