run the command on your system...

strace -p freenxpid -f -t -o /tmp/logfile

I would expect that you would get very similar results so you can
satisfy your curiosity. Thankfully, I didn't travel down the path since
it wouldn't have led to the solution of my problem.

as for authorized_keys v. authorized_keys2...

I am not an sshd expert, but clearly on my systems (2), it wants
authorized_keys and both of these were clean installs of CentOS 4.1 and
ultimately updated to CentOS 4.2 before I ever attempted freenx.
