[lug] problems with ssh key authorization after

the reason I ask is because openssh has these options for IdentityFile

   IdentityFile ~/.ssh/identity
   IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_dsa
   IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa


I assumed that identity was tied to ssh1 and that id_dsa and id_rsa were
tied to ssh2.

I'll go read the link and see if this is answered there.
