i ve configure sshd_config :
...
Protocol 2

PubkeyAuthentication yes
AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys
ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes
PasswordAuthentication no
PermitEmptyPasswords no
PermitRootLogin no
...

i ve created a user : wesley with password
Open session with wesley and hit :
cd $HOME
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048
cd .ssh
cat id_rsa >> authorized_keys

Open session with root to restart sshd

On an other computer (xp with putty)
