There weren't any error messages, otherwise I would have provided them.
Just the behavior I described.

Nope.  The server will authenticate ssh1 clients fine.

Now that did work.  I'm still confused as to why the rsa generated keys
didn't.  What I did realize is that unstables ssh-keygen creates rsa1
keys for ssh1 by default, which is odd, but still doesn't explain why
the explicated stated (ssh2) rsa keys failed.

Regardless, thanks for the dsa suggestion, it solves my problem, but I'm
still curious as to why the rsa key did not work.
