Thanks for the pointer.  According to the manual the default for ssh
PreferredAuthentications is:
hostbased,publickey,keyboard-interactive,password
So it should work but for some reason or another Knoppix is not
defaulting to publickey; even though I have public key
in /knoppix/.ssh/authorized_keys

Adding to /etc/ssh/ssh_config
PreferredAuthentications publickey
has no effect.  Do I need to log-out and log-in in order to take it
effect?
