You might try "ssh user@machinename" instead of "ssh machinename". You might also try logging in as someone other than "root" (;^)). Finally, you might want to remove ~root/.ssh, and let it be recreated... it could just be a version thing. Realize that, no matter what, if you are being identified as "root", then you will not be able to get access to ~root/.ssh's contents if you give up your "root"-ness. So that means you need to figure out how it's deciding you are root. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
