Как включить вход по SSH-ключу в CentOS 5.5?

Я пытаюсь настроить вход по SSH на CentOS 5.5 на OpenITC VPS.

Я должен сказать, что это не похоже на установленный SELinux, поскольку такие команды, как sestatus, не работают.

В настоящее время у меня есть два пользователя, root и M. Я не был уверен, куда поместить файл authorised_keys, поэтому он находится как в /root/.ssh/, так и в /home/M/.ssh, а root является владельцем первого (и файл), а M - владелец последнего (и файла). Разрешения для папки - 700, а для файлов - 600.

Когда я пытаюсь войти в систему с помощью Putty Link (plink -v x.x.x.x), пытаюсь ли я войти в систему как root или M, я получаю следующее:

Looking up host "x"
Connecting to x port 22
Server version: SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.3
We claim version: SSH-2.0-PuTTY_Release_0.60
