Ok, then I must have misunderstood the reason for a Keygen.  One is created 
on the server and that is it.  I don't have to match it to connect?  It is 
just a random set of characters to create an encryption algorithm?

I

why should Putty or the ssh server on the other box be asking for your 
passphrase. ssh is a secure terminal server and putty is a terminal client 
app that allows you to make secure terminal connections to a computer using 
Openssh or some other ssh server/client setup. there are no "passphraseses" 
involved here. therefore none are asked for nor are none needed to be given. 
Just username and password for authentication and access.
