That would do it, copy the wrong bit and it doesn't work!

There is a nice SSH command to copy the bits for you:

ssh-copy-id

which does all the right things and stops you from making errors. Like you SSH
is something I do and forget, so it's sometimes hard to remember what to do
as it just works once it's all set up. Perhaps there is something to Windows,
all the reinstalling means you get really good at setting things up!
