I am trying to ssh from my Windows/Cygwin xterm window into my CentOS52 servers w/o using passwords but my keys seem like they're being ignored. I created the key in cygwin using:
$ ssh-keygen -t dsa -f id_dsa
And copied id_dsa.pub over to centos:~/.ssh/authorized_keys
Ideas?

Check your permissions on ~/.ssh and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the CentOS server, they should be 700 and 600, respectively. See here:

That was it!!! Thank you very much!
