Hi,

Not sure exactly what's going on here, maybe you just have some config
option specifying this in sshd_config, but, according to the release
notes on openssh.org, for version 3.0 of openssh, authorized_keys2 is
now depracated in favor of authorized_keys.  Supposedly, IIRC, support
for it might be removed in the future.

HTH,
Daniel
