Problem with ssh

I have tried using the following command with negative
results.
 
      ssh -L 5902:localhost:5901 scorpio
 
That produces this error message:
 
      Permission denied (publickey).

I found a reference to this command at:
 
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/dtg/attarchive/v
nc/sshvnc.html
 
I cannot figure out how to correct whatever the problem is.
I am attempting to connect to a FreeBSD-6.3 machine running
'TightVNC' from a WinXP machine. The connection works fine
using a regular connection; however, I would prefer to use
'ssh' and limit the port to localhost for security.
 
Thanks!

Can you use putty or the like and ssh into scorpio without a
prompt? If not then 
you just need to key up ssh to allow login via ssh-add.

The host 'scorpio' is denying you access to the system from
your user
(it attempted public key authentication and that failed).

It should work if you make sure your authentication to the
destination
host works.
