RE: authorized_key

copSSH will setup the environment on most windows servers to allow for public key authentication, however, you may still need to setup the file system permissions.  What are you using as your SSH client?  also, where is your login user's home directory according to /etc/passwd ?Does this folder exist, and does the user have the necessary .ssh folder in this directory?  One other thought that comes to mind, is did you run the copSSH user add tool to add your windows user to the /etc/passwd file?

Hi,
thanks for your advice, but this is not the reason for my problems. If the
PasswordAuthentication is set to no, it is just not possible to connect at
all (same problem as Rajeev). 
Before I used still openSSH for Windows, because of the advice of Armand I
changed to copSSH now, but the problems are still the same: password
required. BTW: to realize connection from one Linux system to another
without password authentication is normally not a problem for me...
