So, my client that will be connecting to this host has to create a public
key with their SSH client, and then copy that key to my host FIRST (in
either the authorized_keys or authorized_keys2 file)? The problem I foresee
is that the SSH client I'm using (Accuterm) doesn't ASK me to create a key.

There's no way to avoid having to copy the client's keys to the host FIRST?
