Hi all I have the following situation which I am trying to get around I have a need to be able to ssh without_password using rsa keys to authenticate the ssh session. I have created and installed the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys for both a system user and for root on the remote machine and I have changed the /etc/ssh/sshd_config accordingly and I have run /etc/rc.d/sshd restart. I have successfully logged into the remote machine using the rsa keys for both the root user and the system user. The problem I have is that I want to log into the remote machine as root from a system user on the main machine. Each time I try I get a password prompt and even if I enter the correct root password it gives me "Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive,hostbased)" If I type user prompt $ ssh user@remote.machine it works fine root prompt # ssh root@remote.machine it works fine but when I type user prompt $ ssh root@remote.machine I get prompted for a password followed by the error above, which is "Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive,hostbased)" Can anyone tell me how to get around this? Is it possible? Thanks and Regards Tim
