Is there something I've overlooking? It's been a while since I've used ssh, but if I remember correctly, don't you also a .ssh2 directory in the home directory of the user you want to become? Perhaps that's not right, I'm sure someone will corredct me if it's not, but I am interested in this as in a day or two I will be trying to get this working myself.
