I have almost completed the process of upgrading our servers with openssh 
2.2.0p1.  In my testing, I've found he biggest problem to be authenticating 
clients that are on windows or mac os boxes using public key.

 From my initial testing of windows clients, Tera Term Pro with ttsh 
installed has an option to specify a private key but no method of creating 
such a key pair.

Then there's ssh secure shell which has that capability of creating a key, 
but 1. I can't upload using it's built-in feature since it uses sftp, 2. 
openssh and ssh secure shell doesn't seem to agree on where the public key 
should go on the openssh server's client directory.  openssh default file 
is authorzied_key and ssh secure shell is authorized.  I'm probably 
configuring this wrong but really if someone can correct me, please do.

I guess basically what it boils down to, is I'd like my users to have the 
ability to use public key authentication, but what ssh clients easily 
support this with openssh? (again, windows and mac os clients).

Mahalo,
Booker
