We need to share our not so stupid unix tricks.  Here is one:

ssh key access audit script:
for i in $(seq 254) ; do x="192.168.49.$i"; echo -n "$x: " ; ssh -o
PasswordAuthentication=no -o NumberOfPasswordPrompts=0 $x hostname  ;

this will give you one of 3 things:
1: hostname
2: failed login
3: unreachable error

Easy way to find out where your keys work, who's next?
