Iff you want to use the "-i" option of SSH (to allow a *privileged* user
to take over another users SSH identity) you need to add the full path
of the key files into the id (and why not also the auth) file(s):

$ TYPE IDENTIFICATION.
IdKey /SYS$SYSDEVICE/USER/HELBIG/SSH2/KEY_HELBIG_VMS

and then SYSTEM (on vms2) could do

$ SSH -i /SYS$SYSDEVICE/USER/HELBIG/IDENTIFICATION helbig at vms1

*or*

SYSTEM could create a HELBIG. file in its own SSH2 directory
(similar to its own IDENTIFICATION. file there):

$ TYPE HELBIG.
IdKey /SYS$SYSDEVICE/USER/HELBIG/SSH2/KEY_HELBIG_VMS

and then SYSTEM (on vms2) could do

$ SSH -i HELBIG helbig at vms1


just my 0.02
