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...
