@Robert Trevellyan and @danb35, I wanted to follow up and say THANK YOU for the help. After wrangling with this for a few days, I was able to figure out (with the help of a friend) that the issue was the way the key was copied onto the server. There was some line padding, etc that was throwing off the authentication.
Here is my next question -- Does anyone know how to setup Google Authenticator on FreeNAS? I have seen a few articles, but I can't seem to get it working. The repository is not updating an it doesn't appear to be enabled? Thank you, again.
If you are looking for extra layers of security, you could set up a VPN to get you onto the local network, then require public key authentication to get into the NAS from the local network. Some VPNs can be setup to require 2FA.
