I doubt it, but your ~/.ssh should also be 755 anyway.

You have exhausted my knowledge of such matters.

Are you and Hollis in the same users group and such things?

try

    ssh localhost echo "checking"

I bet it requires a password.  Try also replacing localhost with the
name of the computer in the baove command.  Perhaps Hollis'
authorized_kays2 file does not contain permission for him to log in to
the Mac without a password.

To set that up

have Hollis log in, 

cd ~/.ssh
ssh-keygen -tdsa

copy the contents of the file produced (id_dsa.pub) into
authorized_keys2.  The former had 644 permission, the latter 600.
