ok.. so there's a file that has bobs private key that I copy to the local server in the .ssh/ dir path..
so anyone who logs into the local user.. where I've copied the private key/file can access ssh bob@1.2.3.4
did I miss something?

The public key needs to be in bob's .ssh/authorized_keys file. The
private key needs to be in the .ssh folder of any user on any computer
that wants to ssh to that account. "ssh bob@1.2.3.4" If you don't have
the private key saved as the default key, then you will need to either
specify it on the command line or put it in the .ssh/config file. If
you put it in the config file, you can also set it up so you don't need
to specify the "bob@" part either. It will automatically use that user
for that host.
