Does it work on you local system? Please try to copy .ssh/id_rsa.pub the user in question to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
OK. Copied [laptop] /home/ritchie/.ssh/id_rsa.pub into [desktop] /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
Ensure /root/.ssh and /root/.ssh/authorized_keys are ownd by the root user. But you would see this immediately at the syslog.
.ssh directory and authorized_keys are owned by root. ritchie@laptop:~/.ssh> ssh root@desktop Last login: Sun May 10 16:32:08 2009 from laptop Have a lot of fun... desktop:~ # That worked ! Now to find out why it works for root and not for ritchie.
