Thanks all- that was enough to set me in the right direction. cann connect
with ssh public key authentication now.
turns out I had two issues:
1. permissions
sshd did not like the permissions on my /home/JACKAL/.ssh directory on the
target server
chmod 755 corrected that.
2. ccsid
id_rsa.pub changed from 1208 to 819 when ftp'd
CHGATTR *CCSID 1208 corrected that
qsh command: 'cat id_rsa.pub >>/home/JACKCAL/.ssh/authorized_keys'
created file with CCSID 37 (thinking its an environment settting)
workaround was to use CPYSTMF command to retain CCSID
