Hi,I am generating SSH-2 RSA key pair using dropbearkey tool and convert to
openssh format using dropbearconvert tool.
I use the public key on dropbear server and from Putty I am trying to login
to server using the corresponding private key (for authentication)
When I click on "open" on putty, I get the following error:
"Unable to use key file (openSSH SSH-2 private key)"
and then it goes for username & password authentication only.

When I try to convert the private key to putty format using putty key
generator, I get the following error
"Coundn't load private key (unable to create key data structure)"

Kindly help me in resolving this issue.

Thanks,
Raghu
