final result should be a file: /home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys. the folder /home/user/.ssh/ should be chmod'ed 700 and the file /home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys should be chmod'ed 600.
Live and learn--I actually had never known about ssh-copy-id and did it manually each time. I guess I sort of still have to in some cases since I work with many flavors of UNIX for work (AIX, Solaris, etc.) and not everything runs OpenSSH as the SSH server and client.

Thanks for that info, though!!
