I'm having trouble getting SSH keys working. I've followed all the instructions carefully and this is not my first rodeo with public-private SSH keys.

Running 4.1.4
Jailbreak worked properly
Successfully set the root password and using that for auth
Copied my existing public key from client ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
Tried copying to usbnet/etc/authorized_keys and authorized_keys2 (using USB drive mode)
Tried using scp to copy to /mnt/us/usbnet/etc/
Manually creating /etc/authorized_keys with vi
Tried using both dropbear and OpenSSH
Tried remounting as rw before doing many of the steps above
Tried using ssh -i option even though ~/.ssh/id_rsa private key file should be used by default

I did successfully connect over USBnet and Wifi using password auth.

Any help here would be much appreciated! Is there any way to easily turn on more logging to find the issue?
