At least this time the -v option in ssh contained something worthwhile:
"Server refused our key."

All three of the machines I'm testing this on have openssh that does v2.
Two are SuSE 7.3 machines, one is a RedHat 9.0 box.

It does work without password(in SSH2 mode) from the RH9 machine to one of
the SuSE7.3 machines, but not the other way. I can't test from the RH9 to
the other SuSE7.3 because that SuSE box is behind a firewall.

However I also can't go from one SuSE machine to the other one that
receives the RH machine.

Weird.
