Thanks for the prompt reply Darren!

I do have: PermitUserEnvironment yes

You make a very good point about login scripts setting the LOGNAME variable.
Let me just check...

Ha! /etc/profile has: LOGNAME=$USER

Now for the final point - multiple "environment" entries. I see you have a
comma-separated list. As per the man-page I was using spaces to separate my
entries: "Each RSA public key consists of the following fields, separated by
spaces: options, bits, exponent, modulus, comment."

So I had:

environment="LOGNAME=mhenry" environment="CVSUSER=mhenry" ssh-dss AAAAB3N....

Let me just change that space to a comma... WooHoo! That's done it!

Thanks for your help!
