I am simply not getting something, I don't know what.  I still need to enter a
password.  Ok I am trying to ssh into machine linuxbox from machine freebsd.  I
am using ssh2, not ssh.  I have created RSA keys for root on both linuxbox and
freebsd, neither has a password.  I did this:

# cat freebsd_identity.pub >> ~/.ssh2/authorized_keys

But when I try to ssh into the linux box or into the freebsd box, I am asked for
a password.  What am I missing?
