Make sure you enabled "PermitRootLogin yes" in the sshd_config, then. Most people should be ssh'ing as themselves, not as the superuser. On the other hand, it looks like you're getting in as root, so that's probably not an issue at the moment. > #allow public key, (does NOT go in authorized_keys2 file) > cat CLIENT.identity.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys That seems a bit roundabout. It would be a bit easier to do something like cat ~/.ssh/identity.pub | ssh SERVER 'cat >>~/.ssh/authorized_keys' > debug1: try privkey: /root/.ssh/id_rsa > debug3: no such identity: /root/.ssh/id_rsa > debug1: try privkey: /root/.ssh/id_dsa > debug3: no such identity: /root/.ssh/id_dsa > debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method It would appear that your connection used protocol 2 instead of protocol 1. Just to confuse you, protocol 2 uses a totally different set of files -- ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub on the client side, and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 on the server side. I bet your setup would work if you used "ssh -1 SERVER".
