So my cloud provider has you cut/paste or drag/drop the id_rsa.pub key when creating the instance. The provisioning process sticks that key in the appropriate place as part of the process.
This works fine for my cow-orkers who are all on Linux/Windows. I am on a Mac (Monterey 12.3). It fails from either my mac native or a linux VM running on my Mac. Symptoms (names/IPs changed to protect the guilty):

Note that the permissions on my .ssh, id_rsa.pub, id_rsa,and .. are all correct.
[jump_me@localhost .ssh]$ ls -ld id_rsa id_rsa.pub . ..

-rw-------. 1 me me 1675 Feb 19 2019 id_rsa
-rw-r--r--. 1 me me 400 Feb 19 2019 id_rsa.pub
further note that the only way to get in is through the pre-built ssh keys. No username/pwd is available, so you cannot log in to change anything on the VM.
Ideas?
