Use PuTTY. Go to http://www.openssh.com/, click on "Alternatives -> For Windows & Mac", and at the top is PuTTY. SSH2 support was only added quite recently, though, and hasn't made it into the stable distribution as of yet. Still, I use it whenever SSHing from Windows boxes. It's a small download,

My major concern is that if you enabled password authentication you'd leave your system vulnerable to brute force password attacked as in TELNET. Beside, if one could use password authentication, why would one bother to take all the trouble setting up RSA connection? :) I did ask question here, w

I'm not sure whether it'd help, but that's what you should do after a clean install: Disable Rhost and password authentication, only enable RSA authentication. Append your public key of your client into /home/username/.ssh/authorized_keys. Login with a ssh client with RSA support, like mindterm.
