Can't get authorized_keys to work


Hello:

I am trying to use cygwin to set-up an authorized_keys file
on my server to allow me to automatically login without a
password.

My client machine is Windows 2000 Professional and the server
is RedHat Linux 7.3.  The sshd on the server is OpenSSH_3.1p1

I ran the cygwin shell by double-clicking the icon that it created
on the desktop.

Next, I connected to my server by typing:
ssh neil at cvs dot JAMMConsulting dot com
It asked me to accept the host key and then my password.
I logged on successfully.  Then, I logged out of the server.

I then tried to create the keys by typing:
	ssh-keygen -t rsa
I hit return on all of the prompts.  This created
an id_rsa and id_rsa.pub in the .ssh directory under my
home directory.

I then transferred the id_rsa.pub file to the server by
first logging onto the server using
	sftp neil at cvs dot JAMMConsulting dot com
It asked me for my password so I supplied it.
Once in, I had to create an .ssh directory, so I did
these commands:
	mkdir .ssh
	cd .ssh
I then transferred the file with this command:
	put id_rsa.pub authorized_keys
Once finished, I exited the sftp session and tried
logging in again with:
	ssh neil at cvs dot JAMMConsulting dot com
But it is still asking for a password.

When I use:
	ssh -v neil at cvs dot JAMMConsulting dot com

I get these messages:
