Adventures In Ubuntuland
I changed some of the settings on my Ubuntu Venial Vermin VM, and broke it. Rather than fiddle with it for an unknown amount of time, I zapped it and built a new one.

And found that Ubuntu desktop by default doesn't even install SSHD.
And once I got that working, and tweaked the settings on my terminal emulator (XShell) so it would work, realised that using the same OpenSSH-specific settings might allow me to SSH cleanly into Taiga, my iMac.
And they did. Had that Mac for six months and only now am I able to log in remotely directly from Windows. (Logging in from Linux always worked, because it was OpenSSH on both ends.)
Not much to show for a three-day weekend, though.

Convert your normal openssh key (id_rsa) to putty format and then add it under Connection->SSH->Auth and you're good to go.
As in, the private part of the public key that you put into authorized_keys on the Mac.

Yep. MacOS is Unix, but Apple have to make it just different enough to be annoying. Doesn't help that until I got the new iMac late last year, my last Mac was a 15 year old Power Mac G4.
