Actually, this is where the failure occurred (sorry if this is already
answered, I just got home to answer it):

~/.ssh/authorized keys is a file, not a directory. identity.pub is a text
file. Simply appending identity.pub to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys should fix
things almost entirely.


The known_hosts you mentioned is determined on pretty much a user basis (from
what I've seen and done, anyway). Answering yes the first time will have it
avoid telling you anything about it in the future.
