Thanks Jon > If you're going to do that a lot, you can set a default in > ~systemuser/.ssh/config to specify that all connections to root@remote > should default to using root's private key. If you don't mind I would like you to clarify the steps to address the config above The machine I am ssh ing from is local The machine I am ssh ing to is remote To do as above, do I create a .~ssh/config file with the following contents on the local machine and restart sshd /etc/rc.d/sshd restart Host remote.domainname #which is the connection name I am assuming User root Port 22 HostName remote.domainname # which is the hostname of the remote machine I am not sure what the permissions should be though. Do they need to be changed? do I need to change the /root/.ssh/id_rsa and id_rsa.pub to the systemuser? or should they stay the same. Or do I change the authorized_keys permissions The error I am getting is a permission denied which makes me think that I need to change some of the permissions. Currently the perms are 600 on both the /root/.ssh/id_rsa and id_rsa.pub and the /home/systemuser/authorized_keys Thanks and Regards Tim
