Now I really believe I have something configured wrong....

On my Astaro firewall, I had to create everything manually.  As it 
does not have a Unix adduser or secure file upload.

So I followed my working 'instructions'.

I used:

/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -X -f ~/.ssh/identity.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2

and that worked fine on astaro, but not here.  So I changed ..._keys2 
to ..._keys and no help.

Oh, identity.pub was created with:

cat > ~/.ssh/identity.pub
<copy clipboard that has public key in it>
CNTL+D

Of course I don't know what the -X option does.  My debian friend 
gave me that command structure...
