Not sure if this server has been configured to only use its own generated keys (is this possible?) because it will not accept a new RSA key of mine:

==========================================
debug1: Found key in /home/michael/.ssh/known_hosts:18
debug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correct
debug1: Enabling compression at level 6.
debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent
debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS
debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received
debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST sent
debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password
debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
debug1: Offering public key: .ssh/id_rsa
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password
debug1: Next authentication method: password
==========================================

It think it's high time I have words with the sysadmin - wish me luck.  ;-)
