Hi Thomas, You had the right idea. /var/log/auth.log told me what the problem was: Jul 4 16:31:38 ip-10-212-118-67 sshd[18792]: Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for file /root/.ssh/authorized_keys This was not working: # ls -l /root/.ssh/authorized_keys -rw------- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 612 2010-07-04 16:30 /root/.ssh/authorized_keys After this command it works now: # chown root:root /root/.ssh/authorized_keys Thanks a lot for your help! :-) Best Regards, Christian Am Sonntag, 4.
