You've mispelt "authorized_keys", from your last screenshot, you can see the file you have created is "authroized_key"

It can refuse one key and let you in with another private key you have.

Maybe plink.exe has -v parameter as ssh in UNIX.

I suspect password saved or smth like that.

About auth failures - there is one holding root account who will be helpful enough to sort out problem without exposing too much of systems private parts in internet forums.

Hi TinTin, I dont have permission to var/log folder

Hi gheist, I can raise a support call to my unix team to clarify if we need more information or to confirm
