Question on using ssh-agent with dropbear and keys

[Rory Toma]

I searched the web and looked for info and a FAQ, and still can't get 
this to work.

I'm trying to ssh from my "normal" box to my dropbear box.

I've done:

ssh-keygen -b 768 to create my public and private keys.
I copied out the id_rsa.pub file (which is the "ssh-rsa <stuff> 
foo at bar.net" type)

I set ownership of .ssh and all files to root, with all files being 600 
and .ssh being 700. (also tried 644 on the files)

Anyway I get:

debug1: Offering public key: ./id_rsa
debug3: send_pubkey_test
debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password


This has always just worked going from openssh->openssh. What is 
different here? Is there some dropbearism I'm missing?

thx
