(Problem solved, still confused as to why it didn't work)

As a follow up to my own post, I created a new user "testing" and tried
this thing again. The user "testing" has never existed in the past
however after adding this user to both machines, then copying
/root/.ssh/known_hosts to /home/testing/.ssh/ then doing a 
# su testing
% ssh 209.198.xxx.xxx
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).
$ 

Again, no prompting for password. So I tried something else:

# ssh localhost -l testuser
Password:

WOW! It works, but not if I # su testuser, only if I'm truly logged in
as that user. I figured then it must be some enviroment variable that's
getting set but the difference between the logged in enviroment vs the
su'ed enviroment is as follows:
 
+LOGNAME=testuser
-LOGNAME=jks
+GROUP=testuser
-GROUP=unknown

Doesn't look like enough to keep the connection from working. When root
connects the GROUP is set to unkown as well. Then I tried 

#su - testuser
%env

And got the same results as when I logged in via ssh (as shown above). 

So basically what this is telling me was that I fixed the problem long
ago but my use of su username for testing as opposed to acutally logging
in as that user has kept it from working all this time. *sigh*  Talk
about chasing my own tail...

I still don't understand why even doing a 
#su - testuser 
Doesn't work, but it's now my curiosity feeding further research as
opposed to necessity.
