If he knew, he'd have it working already.  :)

I think it comes down to what the AuthorizedKeysFile directive in sshd_conf
is configured to use.  There's nothing magical about the 2 suffix that I
can tell, and there's only one such directive in the man page for
sshd_config.

My -guess- is that Fedora (I believe you use Fedora), in their infinite
wisdom, broke with tradition and set the directive to a new location for
some obscure reason.
