So then you'll have only one change to the stock file, namely: PermitRootLogin yes Just to ensure there aren't any mistaken assumptions, please confirm by replying with the output of: # grep '^[^#]' /etc/ssh/sshd_config You should see: PermitRootLogin yes AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/sftp-server and nothing else. If that's so, then restart the sshd service: # service sshd restart and re-try your logins. You may also find clues in /var/log/auth.log on the sshd server side. Good luck!
