OK, here's what I did now:

  * Regenerated a SSH-2 DSA key 1024 bit
  * Saved the public and private keys
  * Copied the public key from the box in puttygen that says "Public key
    for the pasting into authorized-keys file" and pasted it into my
    machine's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
  * Ran putty on the remote machine and made sure to point the
    Connection: SSH: Auth pointed to the private key I saved from
    puttygen (a .ppk file).

Attempted to connect with that and I got:

Using username "adefaria"
Server refused our key
adefaria AT ltsdo-adefaria's password:

What did I do wrong?
