Ok, it's resolved. I have never generated keys for ssh2 so, rather than fall back to ssh1, it just fails.
If I tell the client to force ssh1 "ssh -1", it works with the ssh1 RSA keys just fine. If I turn on password authentication, it "fails back" to that just fine. I guess if the server and client are both capable of ssh2 it just never bothers to try ssh1. Also, I really Really REALLY do not want to leave password authentication turned on. So, question to those who have tried this, are there any complications with generating ssh2 keys? Any chance of overwriting (accidentally) the ssh1 keys?
