Super!  Yes it was detailed enough.  Once I implemented your suggestions
and Bart's, I was prompted for passphrases on login, and I was able to
list my keys with ssh-add -l.

   Now I need help with getting openssh 2.5.1 (on my host) to work with
(not open) ssh 2.4.0 (on the mail server).  I don't seem to be able to add
a key generated with ssh-keygen to (open)ssh-agent which is now running on
my host.  It says I'm giving an incorrect passphrase.  I also tried
putting the public key I generated with (open)ssh-keygen on my host on the
mail server, but that doesn't seem to work either.

   Do you have another useful link for me?  :)
