They can if you have created them as text mode files. Copying
to a binary mount doesn't change the line endings. If so,
simply convert with vim/tr/recode/whateveryouwant.

Careful! Which user account is starting your inetd? Please, read
again what I have written in my previous mail. If you want to use
RSA you MUST start sshd under YOUR user account. Is inetd running
under your user account? If so, you must have appropriate privileges
to let the other sshd do it's password authentication.

Besides that (and the usage of inetd), it doesn't sound odd.

I would prefer that you first check each method for itself.
As you mentioned, you are able to run sshd for password
authentication. Ok. Deacvtivate 'em, then start sshd with your
RSA related config file from the command line in debug mode:

	sshd -d

The try to authenticate from another shell on the same machine:

	ssh -v 127.0.0.1

Now you can see what happens. This is much better then trying
to debug a service session!
