I am trying to set up authentication with SSH so I can let a script run a command through ssh on a remote server. I have followed all of the documentation for creating the private and public keys and have copied the public key to the remote server to the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file. I set up the identity with no password. I set permisisons and ownership of the key file as well but the authentication fails and I am forced to enter a password on the command line. I have no idea why this isn't working and need some help. The two servers I am trying to connect are both new and have IP addresses only. They don't have domain names assigned to them. I assumed that doesn't matter but I have no idea what the problem is at this point. Any help? Thanks.
