Strace doesn't lie. ---- run the command on your system... strace -p freenxpid -f -t -o /tmp/logfile I would expect that you would get very similar results so you can satisfy your curiosity. Thankfully, I didn't travel down the path since it wouldn't have led to the solution of my problem. as for authorized_keys v. authorized_keys2... I am not an sshd expert, but clearly on my systems (2), it wants authorized_keys and both of these were clean installs of CentOS 4.1 and ultimately updated to CentOS 4.2 before I ever attempted freenx.
