--- Comment #11 from Richard Kreutzer <tunerooster at gmail.com> ---
Well, the keys were all generated by: "ssh-keygen -A".  I just re-ran
it and it did not put host names at the start of the keys.  I will add
fully qualified domain names to the .pub files manually and retry.

Is this an issue?  Why isn't ssh-keygen creating public keys in the
required format?

Also, the public keys *do* work for the user based keys in ~rwk/.ssh/

User based passwordless authentication has always worked fine.  I am
trying to switch to host based because the maintenance of many machines
with many users all needing to have script access to each other is just
too cumbersome.

I will update you after testing with FQDN at the head of each public
key.  Thank you for your continued and prompt replies!
