Ok - here are the answers to your battery of questions...

1.  Yes
2.
-rw------- 1 scott scott  793 2010-10-08 15:01 authorized_keys
-rw------- 1 scott scott  670 2011-08-12 14:19 authorized_keys2

The pub key is saved in the authorized_keys file.

3.
drwx------   2 scott scott        117 2012-02-17 10:53 .ssh

4.  Yes
5.
scott@bletchley:~/.ssh$ ls
authorized_keys  known_hosts

6.  No file to have permissions on.
7.
drwx------  2 scott users 4096 Feb 17 11:07 .ssh

It appears I have fubared copying the server's pub key to the client.  I
use a high non-standard port for openssh_server, so the copy command didn't
work properly.  What would be the easiest way to copy that file using a
port other than 22 for openssh_server?
