That got me connected, after answering 'yes' to a few prompts, but...
When I now try to connect, I get the following:
Warning: the RSA host key for 'xxxxxx' differs from the key for the IP
address '192.168.1.2'
Offending key for IP in /home/xxx/.ssh/known_hosts:2
Matching host key in /home/xxx/.ssh/known_hosts:3
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
xxx@xxxxxx's password:
Linux xxxxxx 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Sun May 6 04:01:19 UTC 2012 i686

As you can see, it does connect me, but only after requiring me to
answer a prompt and enter my password. I don't think that I needed to
enter my password before. Password authentication was disabled for
security purposes.
