did you add client's key into autorized_key?

Do you have DNS resolution for your linux client?

Just a quick thought, check the permissions on the linux servers user/.ssh directory and all files below, as this can also prevent auto rsa key login.

Make sure the id is in the linux server's user's known_hosts.

Good luck,

Try running sshd in debug mode "sshd -D" and then examine the debug output.

One other thing to check is if you have accidentally inserted carriage-returns in the "authorized_keys" file. The key should be a single continuous line, and have no line-breaks. Go into "vi" and use the right cursor to check.
