Same error.

I actually found the problem.. was planning to send note to list, but 
looking into another issue and got caught up. :-(

The rights of the .ssh directory were wrong.
I needs to be 700. I just wish sshd would say something about it.. 
somewhere.. anywhere.. It's near trivial to fix, yet it could be a few 
days before one things of looking at that. :-(
