I've been getting familiar with Ubuntu Server Edition on a Virtual Box install and getting a lot of my questions solved by tutorials and forums, but I've run into a problem that I can't find an answer to anywhere. After setting up OpenSSH and generating a rsa key, i turned PasswordAuthentication to no using sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config, I attempt to login through Cygwin on a Win7 machine, and it still asks for a password after seeing that I don't have the key. I put it in and I'm logged in as if passwords are allowed. I tried apt-get purge and then installed again, but no luck. Any ideas?
I forgot to mention, I did restart SSH after updating sshd_config
