I can accept that.

Yes -- I think that mkpasswd shouldn't be called as part of the setup.
But knowing that it is, I can keep a copy and keep it working...

We've crossed wires here :)  The last ssh -v/ sshd -d output I sent you WAS
with the valid
k02189 user in the sshd box's /etc/passwd.  I also tried the variant
k02189 AT I23TP777
(as specified in the identity.pub file) with no difference in the output.

Unfortunately I'm now on vacation so I can't provide any more information
until early
January (happy I'm on vacation, but I still have to put in 16 hours).  But
I'm still reading
the list -- if you have more suggestions and/or AHA!'s, I'll make note and
get back
with you then.  And thanks for the help you've given so far...
