John -

That was EXACTLY what I was looking for...now to write it down.

I had my thinking process challenged :-) when I got an error message 
upon trying to copy the key from the sender to the recipient: there is a 
new server at the address so it's key is no longer valid.  A little 
editing in authorized_keys was needed.

This is the problem of visiting my server every year or so (and why I 
like Linux - it just runs once setup!)....

Thank you again....

Todd
