SSH Keys

All
I have 3 machines in my local network.
Machine "A" is a windows laptop
Machine "B" is Ubuntu 8.04.1 running Gnome.
Machine "C" is Ubuntu server 8.04

I generated a keypair on "A" using putty.
I copied the public key from "A"  to "C" and created
authorized_keys in the /home/jack/.ssh directory.
The connection between "A" and "C" works fine.
I also copied the public and private keys to "B".
When I use ssh -i /home/jack/.ssh/rsa_key.ppk jack at C, the passphrase
does not work, so the connection from "B" to "C" cannot be
established.

Do I need to generate a separate keypair on "B" and add its public key
to authorized_keys on "C" ?

I thought that I could use the same keys on both "A" and "B" to log into
"C".

Thanks for any enlightenment you can provide.

Jack
