Hi Kalin,

Don't worry about that message - I see the same thing here with an ssh
connection that succeeds. The "try pubkey" message displays a private
key file.

Did you check the sshd_config file on the server and the
/var/log/messages file for additional hints?  If you see anything
interesting, please post the output here.  Also make sure that
PubkeyAuthentication is enabled ("on") in sshd_config.

Regards,
Greg
