Thanks :-) - but I figured out that part.  What I did not understand is
"why does it say 'Accepted by .shosts'" in the ssh -v output but then goes
on asking for a password anyway?

This message is seriously misleading...  I guess it means "ok, you're in
the .shosts file, now check the key" (and it will never tell the result of
checking the key).

I tend to disagree :-) - mine does.  Both to and from OSR 3, with 3.0p1,
as long as the host RSA keys are known.
