This is the third time in as many days I've offered an answer for this
question.
Take your public key file from your SSH Client and copy it to the OpenSSH
server (use ftp, tftp, scp, floppy, type it all in, . . ., whatever). Once
the public key file gets to the server (say you named it SSHKEY.PUB), then
you'd run this on the OpenSSH server in the account directory for the user
you want to enable login with that public key:
ssh-keygen -if /path/to/SSHKEY.PUB >> .ssh/authorized_keys2
Done.
If you're using an older version of OpenSSH, you may have to use -X. Use
"man ssh-keygen" to see what the appropriate command line switches are.
Also, if you're using RSA1 type keys, redirect to the authorized_keys file
(vs. authorized_keys2).
