    Hi there,

    I am having problems with the pageant authentication to my debian server over ssh with putty. I've followed the awesome tutorial here, but am unsure what's wrong.

    Any tips to help me debug this one?

    Thanks!

    Do you get any error messages?

    Nope, no errors. It's just that my server ALWAYS asks for my key passphrase... annoying.

    I happened to then install a program (GIT) that has it's own pageant.exe. This one is version 0.60. And it works!

    I was using 0.61 and it didn't work.

    Hope this helps someone else!:)
